I have a 4-foot partridge pea plant growing beside my raised garden bed. Is it safe to let it go, or should I get rid of it? I am truing to rewild my yard but of course I still need my vegetable gardens.
I’m concerned because I am having an on-going battle with bindweed. I did not recognize it and let it go because I thought it was pretty.
I live in Bryan County, southern Oklahoma.
Well, it’s native to Oklahoma, so I’d personally leave it but pull any trim any incursion into my garden.
