This vine grows on my garage every year. By October it covers the whole front of the garage. End of fall I rip it down starts over next year. I like it and if it's not poison with a little help from a some wire and some trimming it would make a beautiful cover for the hide side of my outside enclosure. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

The first picture shows a type of chicory. Its edible.

I THINK, but am not sure, that the second one is Virginia Creeper. Its supposed to be toxic.

I'm not sure about the last picture. It sort of looks like the second picture. Take a look at some GOOGLE images of Virginia creeper and see what you think.

The first is chicory, don't know the second one, the third appears to be what is locally called "Carolina Creeper" here. Odd coincidence that number two might called "Virginia Creeper".

No, grape vines are very good tortoise food.
