In my NJ garden I have had to contend with a climbing, thorny vine. The mature vines are dark and somewhat like encountering barbed wire. Does anyone know what it is?
Here in West Virginia, we have the Greenbrier RIver, Greenbrier County and a town named "Ronceverte" which is French for the word, greenbrier. The stuff grows everywhere here.
The flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today.
My MIL says you have to dig them out to keep them from returning. Our neighbor has one on his side of the fence that keeps growing onto our side and I'm tempted to go over there and remove it for him (I wouldn't though, but it's tempting).
