    This vine is growing on everything around my house. It is winding around the trees and flowers and fences, its very invasive. It has green vine and small leaves, heart shaped but a little longer. It has small red berries, they started out green and turned red. I found a pic that looked somewhat like it and it was a nightshade. I dont have a way to take pics sorry. When I pulled it up and threw in the compost pile it started growing there too. :?:

    Sounds like it could be nightshade searcher. It will grow anywhere! I've been battling with it in my yard for 5 years now. It is poisonous so do be careful.

    If it is nightshade

    Is it poison to touch? I did not wear gloves when I pulled it up. Should I wear gloves when handling it?
