The grass is brown and crunchy and even the morning glory, if we had some, would shrivel up and die.

Since they break so easily, getting the whole thing up is nigh impossible, especially if it gets into other plants roots. The only positive thing you can say is: it doesn't have thorns. I have heard you can paint the leaves with weed killer, but after 5 years of struggling with this thing I chose the Final Solution.

There are other vines that are prolific, like the trumpet vine, and are quite difficult to get out once they take hold. Good luck pruning and replanting. My brown thumb precludes much from growing in my yard. I even managed to kill a plastic plant.<BR/><BR/>ChristineChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237834450801185728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-72266615947769134082007-05-02T11:16:00.000-07:002007-05-02T11:16:00.000-07:00Thank you thank you thank you....I have just found...Thank you thank you thank you....I have just found your blog and I am enjoying it immensely - thank you, Sister!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-59749256313630622632007-05-02T07:48:00.000-07:002007-05-02T07:48:00.000-07:00I will be starting my Marian garden in the fall (i...I will be starting my Marian garden in the fall (it's too late here in Louisiana to start anything but weeds).
