Thanks Becky:

It's just a whee little place all by myself, though female companionship would be nice...

Question:

I'm trying to get this thing to fill out more as it gets bleak looking at the bottom (or it did last year). I do have more seedlings popping through the ground, but if I cut back the vines at the top to the nearest leaf node will it promote a bushier appearance overall? Reason being I'm not crazy about the clumping at the top mentioned previously. And these things don't seem to like to travel downward. Other plants do well with cutting but not sure about MG. A few flowers have appeared.
