Thanks Becky,

I have grown this many MG vines for the last 3 or 4 years - just not growing as many I. purpureas this year, except for HIGEs. There was one year I grew over 800 vines, but too many were too close together - so I didn't do that again.

I don't know how else to explain other than photos and I do not have a wide angle lense on my camera. The only other option, other than an aerial photo, is to stand on top of my house and take photos - and I don't think so on that one.

Our lot is a little less than 1/3 acre and is a very deep lot. And, as you can see from the photos I have posted so far that it is just about covered with MGs, except for the front yard. Even in the front I have quite a few MGs growing on a lattice porch as well as a few cages here and there.

It is a full time job to take care of this many MGs, but then who said being retired would be easy . . . lol

In the center of this photo, you can see an 18' Bamboo TP with 2 different Moon Vines growing up it. They have now reached the top and are STILL growing. It won't be long before they start climbing across the cable wires.
