Yep. Dealing with a ton of invasives around here, and it's aggravating! I think the big thing that people don't really think about is that while they might like the plant, for whatever reason, they don't have a "right" to force that plant on to others. When someone says, "Yeah, but I really like how the English Ivy looks!" that's entirely valid. Where it stops, though, is when they can't control the plant. It will get out of containment, even if that's after the original buyer passes away. That's exactly what I'm dealing with at the moment, the prior landowner thinking that all these invasive plants were pretty. He took very good care of them.... but his family didn't after he left this mortal coil. Folks will say, "Sure, but it's my land and I can do what I want!" Yep. Sure can. But don't complain when your neighbor decides to pour used motor oil out in HIS back yard and it seeps under the fence to ruin your land. After all, it's his property and he has the right to do whatever he wants on it. Right? 😀 I think the biggest thing, for me, is just losing that "sense of place". Every town, state, ecosystem, is entirely unique, with a set of plants that are delightful in their own right. When you use plants that are mass-produced because you saw them in a store, you're killing that uniqueness that makes your area so special. When you can travel for a thousand miles in any direction and see the same handful of plants being used in every yard.... that's sad. I like to say that you can travel from Idaho to Ireland and find people wearing the same clothes, watching the same movies, reading the same books, and landscaping with the same plants. How sad is that? Where's the uniqueness? Where's the wonderful "sense of place" that lets you know you're in a whole different spot?

Well, my yard in Western Missouri, which had nothing but grass when I moved in (1998), now is infested with winter creeper, English ivy and bush honeysuckle. These three at least conspired to wipe out the trumpet vines. Small victory, I guess.

I love English ivy, but is it OK if I didn’t get rid of it? Or should I get rid of creepy Charlie’s instead?

If you keep it managed and as a ground cover, it’s less bad. The problems really start when it grows up and makes berries. I’m also battling Creeping Charlie. So, it’s both for me.

Also creepy Charlie’s is known as a vine and also part of a mint family. Also, it can be confused as strawberry leaves and even catnip and by the way I pick up creepy Charlie’s flower looks like a yellow clover flower.

@@Lucas_roblox720 yeah, Creeping Charlie makes up the majority of my grass areas in some spots. I do like how it looks and how green it stays, but I’d prefer grass and wild flowers. (Read it all 😊)
