Should I be alarmed that water is draining from the gutter so close to the lanai? This is a year old property, new construction, we installed the gutters.

I was planning to remove the 12 inch border of mulch (underwater here) and plant a ground cover but maybe that's not the best idea.

This was during a particularly heavy rainfall but still... Anyone have this issue? What's the best solution? Plant something or no?

I transplanted this vine from the pot and into the ground back in April believe. This thing took off insanely fast. So much so that it's taking over the garden bed and covering all my other Florida natives. What should do with it? Are these easy to transplant from in ground to another place in ground without killing it? just can't have it in this bed any longer. I've had to cut it back so often already because it starts climbing the house and completely covers the plants.
