        I wonder what happens if you plant kudzu and bamboo in the same spot, endlessly climbing plant tower?

      Strawberries too. If you don’t plant them in containers you’re gonna have a bad time.

      I’ve read that kudzu is nutritious, comparable with potatoes, and is cultivated in China.

    One time I did that, and was horrified to see that the next day the gardner removed it and disposed of the body.

    It was my baby and it was literally choking itself in every pot I planted it because it would just grow until the entire pot was roots.

    I now know that it had to be done, this is what it means to be an adult. To know that sometimes murdering a baby mint is for the greater good T_T

    Also catnip, but with catnip there’s a 50% chance neighborhood cats will show up and roll on it until it dies.

    I’ve planted mint, strawberries, and raspberries. But this is the last time I’ll get to see how far they’ve made it. I planted them to go to war with the buffle grass, tumble weeds, and tree of heaven. I can still drive by in a few years and see how its going.

      The dryer at my parents house vented into a mess of mint. Laundry made the backyard smell great.

    You know what’s also invasive?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houttuynia_cordata

    The last people to own our house planted this stuff in the ground. It’s also called fish mint, because it smells like fish when you cut it.

      That’s what that shit is? I though it was some generic weed I had a hard time getting rid of. Great. Another invasive to deal with. Just killed a tree of heaven the other day, too.

      I once bought fish mint at an asian grocery store thinking it was regular mint, and it was quite the surprise when I tried it.

    I planted some mint in a large pot, at an off-grid shack on a New England beach… two decades ago. That shit is still thriving to this day, despite zero maintenance and/or care and numerous harsh winters!

      I didn’t realize how raspberries propagated until after I’d planted it in my tiny bed. The fucker spends every spring plotting world domination.

        Fun fact: you can peel and eat young raspberry canes! Harvest when green and flexible, eat raw or steamed. Same for most blackberries and such, as far as I know.

    We put a few mint plants in a large concrete planter and it filled the whole planter in one season. It does keep mice, cats, and mosquitos away.

    I planted mint in a pot. And the roots went out of the bottom of the pot and between the tiles the pot was on, into the ground.
