Better just to let them run wild, as long as they aren't smothering something.

All we need now is a nice warm autumn, or else all the effort will have been for nothing...

« Why didn't my forsythia and one of my hydrangeas flower this year ?
I'd appreciate the answer to this too. Mine are so late flowering I don't think there's any chance at all of even one squash though. Must start earlier next year.
