I do not believe in God but
surely Bindweed is proof of the existence of Satan who sent it to plague gardeners everywhere.
I've dug over the veg bed again and once again have teased out a huge pile of bindweed root.
Leaving a small fragment in the earth will generate a whole new plant and the bastards are impervious to glyphosate because the plant root is huge and the leaf area relatively small and the dosage to the root is proportional to the leaf area sprayed.

Hedge Bindweed (Calystegia sepium), Dawlish Warren, Devon.
A widespread and common climbing perennial of tall vegetation including hedges, scrub, woodland edges, fens and railway banks, roadsides, waste ground and especially near habitation. It is often considered a weed of gardens where it climbs over fruit trees, vegetable crops and herbaceous plants.
Morning Glory Family
Blooms March - September
Habit/Range Marshes and wet disturbed sites from Florida to Virginia, New mexico, Nevada, and California.
The leaves and rhizomes are boiled and eaten in parts of Asia.
Apparently the way to tell the difference between Calystegia silvatica and C. sepium(Large Bindweed and Hedge Bindweed) is that the two epicalyx bracts overlap each other and conceal the sepals in C. sylvatica (shown at left) while in C. sepium they do not overlap one another and the sepals are visible (shown at right).

It reminds me of a morning glory. This was gowing on a vine that was tangled up in a yew shrub. Taken in Whitman, MA, USA.
EDIT: Two of the kind members of the ID Please group (Mean and Pinchy and jonquil_d) identified this as an Hedge Bindweed, (Calystegia sepium).

In Flora of New South Wales and PlantNET this species and subspecies are treated as native. I looked it up in APNI and was surprised to learn that subsp. roseata was named by Brummitt in 1967 with type from Merionethshire in Wales! Makes me wonder about its native status.
This picture of the bindweed flower was hopeless, but it shows the typical climbing stem quite well, so I cut the flower out! I never throw away a picture!
Planta vivaz, trepadora, que alcanza hasta los 5 m de alto. Crece en bordes de bosques, matorrales, vallados y trepando sobre otras plantas, nativa de gran parte del Hemisferio norte. Fotografiada en el Parque de Pagoeta, Aia, Gipuzkoa, norte de España, a 120 m de altitud.
Perennial, climbing plant that reaches up to 5 m high. It grows on the edges of forests, bushes, fences and climbing on other plants, native to much of the Northern Hemisphere. Photographed in the Parque de Pagoeta, Aia, Gipuzkoa, northern Spain, at an altitude of 120 m.

CALYSTEGIA SEPIUM L.
VILUCCHIO BIANCO
Convolvulaceae.Pianta perenne, erbacea, destrosa, rizomatosa, con fusti volubili, glabri, lunghi sino a 3 m.
Le foglie picciolate, alterne, ovate o ovato-lanceolate, sagittate, con base cordata ed apice acuto, margine ondulato, lunghe sino a 10 cm . I fiori solitari, su lunghi peduncoli, all'ascella delle foglie; calice con cinque lobi spesso screziato di rosso, racchiuso da 2 grandi brattee, ovali, fogliacee, piane e avvolgenti il calice non completamente. La corolla, campanulata con diametro di 4÷6 cm è leggermente lobata, bianca, raramente appena tendente al rosa.Fiorisce da maggio a settembre.
I frutti sono capsule globose contenenti 2÷4 semi tondi e neri. Pianta comune in tutto il territorio italiano. Infestante delle colture erbacee, dei cereali, dei vigneti e degli incolti, sulle siepi, nelle radure dei boschi da 0 a 1.400 m.
Predilige suoli argillosi, umidi e ricchi di elementi nutritivi.
Il nome del genere deriva dal greco"kàlix" = "calice, coppa" e " stéghe " = "tetto", per la presenza delle grandi brattee che proteggono il calice. Il nome specifico indica la sua preferenza per le siepi.
Pianta colagoga, purgante, lenitiva, febbrifuga, diuretica.
L'infuso di foglie risulta utile per favorire le funzioni del fegato e nella cura della stitichezza.
I fiori si chiudono quando piove o il cielo è coperto, ma spesso restano aperti di notte, quando possono giovarsi della frequentazione di grandi falene ed altri insetti notturni. In particolare il fiore attrae una farfalla, la Sfinge del Convolvolo (Herse convolvuli) dalla lunga spirotromba, adatta a succhiare il nettare secreto alla base del fiore, che così viene impollinato. La rapidità di crescita di questa pianta le consente di sfruttare anche i terreni soggetti ad allagamento stagionale, fioritura: maggio - settembre.

Hedge Bindweed (Calystegia sepium) has this rather beautiful flower which gives rise to its more attractive names of Heavenly Trumpets or Belle of the Ball. Yet nearly every description is about how to eradicate it from the garden becase of its spreading and persistent nature.
Calystegia sepium.
Being a gardener, I think I am supposed to dislike this stuff....but I really look forward to seeing it in the hedgrows at this time of year. It makes a spectacular display.
Morning glories abound in the Nanaimo area and the vine plants produce these trumpet like white flowers. Although beautiful, they are mostly considered a noxious weed and they can be troublesome in a garden or yard.
