it doesnt matter. i took the clump off and then seperated whatever i had into two/three plantelts.

they are really keen to root - i took cuttings from the mature vine last autumn as a test and they rooted within two days. don't be afraid - they are less fragile than you think (remember they are related to bindweed - no joke!)

Thanks Svea.  ;) Don't you wish bindweeds were edible (and as delicious as sweet potatoes)?! I have loads of them in my plot. :D
