LindaTX8 said:I agree, too many invasive plants are getting way out of control, especially in whatever wild natural areas we still have left. I notice there's a pic of Pokeweed, however. It's a native and although it can spread fairly easily it is considered beneficial for wildlife because of its berries. I keep some in my yard for that reason...the birds just love the berries! And in this arid area it doesn't spread very much.


Pokeweed is the bane of my existence because of how easily it spreads, BUT it's native and feeds the critters. *sigh* So I destroy it where I don't want it, and let it live in the area that's been planted specifically for the wildlife.

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.
