Oh, would I love to be able to do away with the weedy grasses. In this case, mostly Bermuda. But, alas, it seeds, it runs above ground with stolons and runners and it runs below ground with stolons and runners. Plus it adores our long, warm, sunny summers. And the neighbors never edge their side of the fence line so over it comes. The only thing we can do here is try to shade it out. Thick cardboard placed around plants with wood mulch or chips or something on top or gardens built up lasagna-style are the best ways to go about it.

On my way home from the store, I remembered a shot I'd taken while touring someone's yard and gardens. I'd love to do something like this for one of the vines. (Looks like honeysuckle on that bike.) I don't have an old bike, but there are always yard sales.
