He left us way early of when he should.

Amen.

If only he'd mixed in a salad from time to time...

OT, but we just got a neat storm blew through, 2" of rain in the last hour.

Stop stealing our rain...we're absolute toast here, with zero relief in sight.

I used to hate rain, it meant I had to mow more often. I tried to keep ahead of the curve, laying down the 5K sqft bag of crabgrass arrestor, to no avail this year. To make matters worse, a freak that bought the house next door ten years ago went psycho and of his own volition planted hummingbird/trumpet vine. Then moved, of course. There is nothing that can kill this crap, and soon it will be boring into my concrete slab foundation. I've spent hundreds of hours, plus hundreds of of dollar5s this summer trying to kill this shit, to no avail. The expert websites suggest soaking each shoot in a cup of vinegar, but there are hundreds of of them, I doubt my boss would let me take time off for that. Anyonone know how to kill a hummingbird (vine)?

Forget it. I battled the stuff for twelve years. The only way I was able to escape the trumpet vines was to sell the place.

Now only cultivate that which grows upon my sufferance!

Trumpet vine has convinced me that evil exists in the biblical sense. I have dug up mulberries, I have obliterated nightshades, I've had poison ivy for breakfast, but this crap has me beat.

The trumpet vines were a particular nuisance as they grew between a neighbor's fence and mine which had been built to run along side on another for about 30 feet. I managed to kill them at the root (along with a lot of my neighbor's lawn) with gobs of glyphosphate, (Yeah, I know don't say it.) But then I noticed the trumpet vines poking up in other spots on the property.

We did get hummingbirds from time to time, but not all that often. Hard to appreciate them they zoom around so fast. On the odd occasion that they showed up to drink from the trumpet blossoms, they usually scared the crap outta me shooting around like outsized hornets. A hummingbird so startled me once that I nearly chopped my peg leg in half with a chainsaw I was running.

Ah, nature.

I had no idea what trumpet vines were until a neighbor planted them ten or twelve years ago. I started noticing suckers coming up in my yard a few years after that. Everywhere! Mexicans bought the house last year and cut all of it down, which I thought was great. No dice, they will sprout up 18-24 inches in a week! I've sprayed with Ortho Weed-B-Gone, Bayer, Round-Up, PoisonIvy/Vine Killer, and cat piss. I'm thinking TRIOX, but that will kill the grass, too.

I probably wouldn't even mind the hassle of having to mow, but I read on real (not conspiracy) gardening sites that trumpet vines have baseball bat sized roots and will punch right through concrete.
