What I did Sunday and today - spent about a total of 5 hours digging out some ivy that was starting to creep up one of the trees and weeded out an infestation of stinky bobs and other weeds along the fence line. I noticed that the ivy had been more advanced at one time in the past from the dead vines that were much farther up, but it appeared someone had cut them off. Turns out my wife did that a long time ago before we met.
I didn't really get a before picture of the fence line, but it was covered with stinky bobs and some other weeds. I paused to get a picture towards the end just before I finished.
