Building a treehouse is the biggest insult to a tree. “I killed your friend, here hold him.”

“Friend”

Its more of I killed a potential enemy. Hold his dismembered corpse in victory.

Plants don’t wage war

unclebeanbag

Ever heard of blackberries?

Yes, plants do wage war

Mint and strawberries, too. They need to be quarantined or they will kill basically everything else.

I planted mint in the ground 2 years ago.

It’s currently fighting a bitter battle to the death against the raspberries attempting to invade from the east while trying to annex the patio.

Could go either way at this point TBH. Unless, of course, I take a shovel and the blowtorch out there and battle both back to within their original boundaries.

And anyone wondering if a blowtorch is overkill for weeding back mint has never actually planted mint.

This post did not go where I expected it to.

Our garden plot at my childhood home slowly got overrun by wild blackberries after we stopped managing it while my sister and I were in nursing school. And by overrun I mean it was like a 4 foot tall thicket of wild blackberries. It hadn’t been touched by humans in at least 4 years. I started the ultimately futile task of trying to clear this plot with a machete and discovered to my amazement a patch of mint several feet across underneath the canopy of blackberry, still fighting the good fight all those years later.

Ultimately it took two jars of homemade napalm and some creative fire placement to clear that patch but I damn sure saved that patch of mint. It earned the right to be there.

Yall mother fuckers don’t even talk unless you’ve had to wage war on kudzu (it’s an ivy strain directly from Hell) that shit doesn’t just wage war with other plants, it wages war with all living things on planet earth. It’s some gnarly ass Blood for the Blood God, Chlorophyll for the Chlorophyll Throne demon weed.

Can second the comments of Kudzu.

I forget where I read it but there’s this one tree that creates an extremely flammable substance that’s in both the bark and leaves. Dead trees become torches and crushed up leaves become dust-incendiary, all while the plant’s seeds are Giant Redwood levels of resilient to open flame. IE it has a goddamn scorched earth policy. It’s even more badass than plants that use toxins to starve other plants.

I’d like to third the comments on Kudzu. These are the battlefields:

See those weird pillars? Those were trees. See that strange lump in the middle? That was a house. Everything green you see in this photo is kudzu.

Kudzu is an apocalyptic nightmare

They smother every other living plant to death

Those trees under there are dead, they can’t get sunlight. Kudzu takes over and steals everything from these trees, and becomes them. It’s creepy as hell. These plants are basically straight out of a horror novelist’s wet dream tbh.

The bodies of everything the kudzu has slain.

What used to be a house

Someone attempting to drive a four wheeler through it, to give you scale

It’s an ornamental plant kept in check in china, but was introduced to north america where it immediately went rampant and began to spread incredibly fast like a disease, destroying everything in its wake

The ONLY thing that has stopped this curse from engulfing the united states is goats. Apparently goats love this stuff like no tomorrow. Everywhere we find it now, we just bring a horde of goats to cut it down. Everything is fine…. for now.

Kudzu is on time magazine’s top 10 invasive species to look out for.

Not to keep spamming this post but

“the growth of kudzu as it became a “structural parasite” of the South,[7] enveloping entire structures when untreated[11] and often referred to as “the vine that ate the South”.[13]”

“It has been spreading rapidly in the southern U.S., “easily outpacing the use of herbicide spraying and mowing, as well increasing the costs of these controls by $6 million annually”.[2]“

yall it’s been estimated this plant consumes 600 kilometers of the united states every year

it’s been suggested that we just start eating it to make it go away

kiwilemonteanonsense

Adding to the spam: yes, kudzu IS edible. In fact, all parts of it but the vine are edible. The leaves are supposedly great in salads or baked into quiche. The flowers supposedly are great in jam. The roots… Well, if you know how to cook other root vegetables, you know what to do with kudzu root. Feed this stuff to your livestock and cook it.

Eat it before it eats your house.

coldpapernightmare

you can also use the vine in basket weaving!

Today has been hard. Mental health team have let me down, GP has let me down... My mum fought for me but we got nowhere. The mental health team won't help me but also won't discharge me, lied to my mother on the phone about organising a discharge letter today so we could get my meds from the GP, my CPN is MIA and out of contact, we went to the mental hospital, they fobbed us off, we got another taxi to my doctors and my GP refused to help because my consultant has me on Risperidone so that's all he can offer me. I'm done. Done. 16 years I've been under their care and all they do is f**k up. I told them I'm discharging myself and they can put it on their notes and I want nothing more to do with them. I now plan to work with my GP to get me off the like, 14 medications I'm on, and I'm going to have natural highs and natural lows and they can all just get to f**k and stay the f**k away from me. I'm done.

Pain is through the roof and I've had strong codeine and oramorph. Can't have another prescription for codeine because the doctor was being an ass, despite being on them for months, nor can I go back on Pregabalin because of other meds, so now my daily meds are 2 x naproxen (which I don't always take because heartburn, even with omeprazole) and 3 x nefopam a day. Not even touching the pain. I also fell today and ended up in hospital, thankfully I've not broken my ankle like I thought but it's badly sprained, and I had DHS surgery on my right hip three weeks ago so I'm still in pain with that and my sprain is my left ankle and I've got no good legs left to limp on. Today has been shit.

I think I'm done with the NHS. I want to be off ALL meds, painkillers included, and I just want to be left alone to my horrible painful life. Ehlers Danlos, Fibromyalgia, Costochondritis, Plantar Fasciitis, Migraine, BPD, DID, Anxiety, Dysthymia, Osteopenia, possible MCAS... Who cares? Just leave me alone to be bitter :(
