But it kept coming back. It was just a constant thing to keep it back. Hummingbirds and pollinators love the flowers.(06-09-2019, 12:58 PM)chuck white Wrote: 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.
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.
There's definitely places plants prefer. I have a philosophy that if I find a place where the plant is happy, that's where it stays.
I think most of the valley has the black sticky soil that never dries out, IMO that's when Bamboo and other plants just keep spreading.
My giant Bamboo has a lot of new canes this year. This makes me happy
