I thought I was being smart. Ha. See all that tangly, green stuff? That’s common vetch (Vicia sativa), a legume. This spring, I decided I’d let this vine “go” because it adds nitrogen to the soil. Ugh, what a mess it was to pull and remove. Plus, it overcame my established foxglove penstemon. A younger penstemon may not survive. Underneath the vetch was a damp, ugly mat that suffocated the penstemon. Live and learn!
