Just spent an hour pulling β€œoriental bittersweet” those roots such so much. Gonna have to take a break for lunch and rest before I do anything else
Had a really great lunch break. Resting a little and then gonna go and work on some much easier yard stuff. Then I’m going to soak in the tub or something because oh god I’m gonna be so tried.
This is the shit I was fighting. But thank goodness now I’m just looking at blackberries and Virginia creeper etc. https://extension.psu.edu/oriental-bittersweet
Oriental Bittersweet

Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) is an invasive, perennial, woody vine. This article includes images for identification and recommendations for control.

I know this weather might be fucking us over, but I am drawn by the desire to lay on my stomach with the sun on my (clothed) body and just enjoy temperatures that aren’t miserable. Like I love autumn because I can really enjoy the sun during it.

Well, I might be calling it 20 minutes earlier than planned because I tripped and twisted …both ankles?

Based on how I feel this moment, I’m kind of hopeful that I will bounce back quickly. It’s a twist but not a sprain I think.

@platypus That stuff is nasty. Filled 3 barrels, probably 4 or 5 more to go. Focusing on the big ones with berries, but the smaller ones have to go, too, preferably before they're big. And then the ones on the other side of the driveway. Fantasizing about getting a flamethrower for the invasive blackberries.
