What's in your garden?

[tvguy]

I had trumpet vine at the old place. The old aggressive kind. Good for a field or something, but hard if on a house or building. I don't think they sell them anymore. They may sell a newer hybridized one, bred to be less aggressive though.  I like old fashioned plants. I went by some guys 'free' pile in West Medford a week back and was in love with the garden. He was moving away but didn't want to dig up the plants. He had comfrey which is a big hard to find, but I did bring some with me. He had hops and a bunch of other old school garden plants you don't see anymore. I did bring a few things with me, but part of me wants to go back to the old place which isn't occupied and raid my flower garden.

I think comfrey is kind of invasive isn't it?

I guess it's a choice between something invasive or an ugly fence.

Is your new neighbor a Trump supporter?

I don't think there was anything invasive. The people who lived there before had beautiful flowers hiding a chain link fence for as long as I remember.

I don't know if he's a Trump supporter. He;s just lazy or apathetic. There are two outside dogs and no dog house anywhere.The place is a mess.

You don't want it on your house. And it does spread and is hard to eradicate. I took it off the side of the house because it has suckers, like ivy and was pulling the siding off and going up under the roof shingles. But it kept coming back. It was just a constant thing to keep it back. Hummingbirds and pollinators love the flowers.

I don't think plants that spread do so where I live. The trumpet vines were on the fence and didn't spread anywhere for 20 years or so.
I think where I live, on the Agate desert nothing spreads because unless I water the ground is bone dry.
