Hi folks!
I'm just curious if you have any problems with your neighbors and your MGs? Have you had any of your neighbors complain about you growing them, or about volunteer MGs coming up in their gardens?

I have a brand new MG starting its way up a trellis in front of my home, but I have at least one neighbor who has expressed wariness about my tendency towards plants that like to "naturalize." When I tried to buy an already started MG at the garden center, the lady said "we only sell the seeds, because otherwise they'd be taking over my nursery."

That made me a bit worried that I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this MG. I am perfectly happy if volunteers ramble in my garden, and I'll pull up or move any that volunteer where I don't want them. However I don't want to start a feud. Have any of you had birds and others spread MGs into your neighbors' gardens, or received any complaints?
Thanks.

You can't tell, but there's a MG in this picture! Climbing the trellis, just barely peeking over the top of the purple flower. =)
