Yes invasive species is what I am taking about.
Last spring I planted two of the most horrid plants on earth.
English Ivy and Cape Honeysuckle.

I intended to grow them knowing full well some peoples hatred of them.
So far they are doing quite nicely in their new home.
The honeysuckle isn't blooming but I think it is because of too much shade.
The crazy thing has put out runners everywhere looking for sun.
It is weird it will run a bit put out a bush and run again.
I have never seen anything like it.
I feel like a mad scientist watching his monster grow.
The ivy is doing better than expected too, they are running all over the place and it is only in its first year.

If they take over it will be fine by me all I have to do it keep it trimmed on the tree trunks about 8 feet up.

In my back yard there are china berry trees coming up everywhere.
Soon it will be reforested by them.
They are like a cactus of trees, during the drought they didn't even act like they wanted water.


I dont know why I didn't do this years ago.
