But it's so pretty.

I hear that in the fancy city restaurants the bindwood greens are called wild morning glory and added to salads to make you live forever or something. I tried one (though I believe they're a bit toxic). It was okay. I thought I'd possibly die--or start seeing giant spiders or something, but nothing happened at all.

No thank you.

"The bindweed stalks, young shoots and root are edible cooked, green parts steamed or boiled, roots boiled. However, it can be purgative so regular eating of said is not recommended. ... Seeds edible when young, cooked. Raw leaves can be used like soap."

Been eating tomatoes for most of a month and the weather is slowly killing them. A few more on the vine and I found another volunteer coming up. The chickens are great at planting squash and tomatoes everywhere.

It is a tree. It is currently 10 1/2' tall and still a very young tree.

The darker ones were ripe. They are tart cherries which is fine with me. They were delicious.
