Hi Karen, the plant in the first picture looks like Velvet Leaf, Abutilon theophrasti. Are the leaves super soft to the touch? They will develop small, yellow flowers under the leaves and then a very interesting seed pod.

Some people consider them an invasive weed, some say they are just wildflowers that are aggressive. I have one or two pop up occasionally and put them in a container because I think they are a beautiful plant. They do like moisture so water frequently.

Check out the information at Daves Garden

Thank you, my husband said that is what it was, he was excited that I found this board. Now if we can figure out what the vine is, we will have a perfect day.lol.
We are going to let it grow because it is so strange. I went to Dave's Garden and saw that you can use the seed pods in potpourri, I might try a hand at making some of that this year.
