I was telling my friend Joyce about my sweet potato vines, how they go crazy, require so little care and keep that lovely Spring green color throughout the hot summer. I said I would take a picture to share, so I went out today and took a few shots. By the end of the summer, it is hard to even get into the house. The only reason they do not extend over the sidewalk in front of the house is because I mow them when I am cutting the lawn. I just mowed. Can you believe all this started from five small plants?
WOW!
That’s amazing! It looks so cool. You could lose a dog in that. It must die back in the winter, yes?
My killer vine is called Fo-ti, or polygonum, the vine from hell. It eats trees.
Re: WOW!
Yes, I have had to save Asha from the vines on multiple occasions when it has grabbed her and tried to drag her in. And it does die off in the winter. I have to buy new plants if I want again the next year. But the crazy thing is that it starts with just a few small plants. I would be very frightened of a vine that eats trees.
