Hello, gardening community. What is this viney monster? It's surfacing in several areas of my yard. Is it a keeper? Thanks in advance.  |

| Looks like Virginia Creeper to me. If it is that I'd pull up all you see. It will overrun everything! |

| I agree with Virginia creeper. I have it everywhere here and am trying to kill it off as fast as I can. |

| VC. A weed I love/hate. The birds spread them everywhere in my garden. Not exaggerating, literally everywhere. I pull hundreds, maybe a thousand or more seedlings every year all growing season long. Some get away from me and become vines and grow incredibly quickly, rooting along the ground as they go. But I love it all the same and will always keep at least one somewhere and even let it seed.  |

| It is beautiful in the fall, but I agree, it's a rampant grower. Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |

It does have gorgeous color in fall, depending on where it's growing. I rarely see the beautiful color here in Florida and it's a rampant vine here too ... crawling across the ground, climbing up into the trees and along fences. It can take over if given even the slightest chance.  ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
