Recently, I had a vine growing wild in my garden. I didn't plant it, but somehow it was there. It would reach out and choke the other flowers, smothering them, trying to pull them in a different direction than they wanted to grow. Although it was a pretty vine, it was causing chaos all throughout the garden. I thought perhaps I could train it to grow in such a way that it would still have adequate space without squashing all my other beautiful flowers, but try as I might, it was stubborn and demanded control of the garden. It seems I had to chop the vine. Let's just say that it, uh... required too much fertilizer to maintain.
