          You can - feed them (even if inadvertently); I had some that were in a border this year (not meant to be there), and they were fed along with everything else and they ended up with leaves like dinner plates and no flowers :biggrin:

            I had one that self seeded near the compost bin in the last garden. I think it put out a 12 foot tendril in a week with very little flowers and a few leaves, sodding thing. I like the sound of the dinner plates, might give it a go next year. I'm planning on going overboard with them. Here's a new type T&M have just released:
