    My daughters "planted" a variety of pea seeds way back in May, and this guy has been growing since then... I have no idea what kind of pea it is, and I'm not even sure if what I am seeing are "baby" peas or maybe the plant was never pollinated, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this looks like the plant is going to bear "fruit," so to speak, at some point, or if I should give up and stop trying to water/nurture it? :) I live in Zone 7. Thanks all!

    That looks like member of morning glory family to me. You would be wise to remove it before the seed mature. I don't think it is bind weed though.

    But definitely a Morning GLory. Ipomoea of some kind.

    They can be very invasive.

    Agreed on the ID and that if you leave it to drop seeds you will have 20 times that number next year. Take it from me, a 'neighbor'!

    I let 4 plants drop seeds. I have removed maybe 1000 seedlings this year.
