Playing whack a mole with my neighbours ivy. Keeps popping up on my side of the fence. Fuck whoever brought it to Australia.

I'm playing whack a mole with my own ivy. Fuck the prior house owners for letting it get out of hand. I got all of it from the trees and the side of the house but it always grows back. I'm still finding sprouts from thick woody vines that have been there forever apparently. I tried removing it from the fence but realized very quickly that it's the only thing holding it together. 😒

And fuck the English for bringing it over (we both know it was them, even their plants are colonizers).

Same. I have a fence that's barely still standing now that I removed the ivy. I've been pulling it and spraying it for several years now. I know I'll never win, but I'm doing my best to keep it in check. The most painful part is when I go to garden centers and see it for sale. It makes me want to cry.
