    On a jasmine war. This time of year is when it gets really annoying and jumps through everything at lightspeed.

    Looks nice, smells nice, but no thanks can’t be f’d leaving it too late again.

    Weapon of choice is the kukri.

      In my previous place I had jasmine growing on a trellis that was far too small for it, on the side of the carport. I decided to replace it with something a little less exuberant, but it tooks years of cutting and poisoning before I could get rid of it.

        Yea it’s so prolific. I hate using glyphosate but there’s no choice here (and I’ll still lose the battle probably).

      jasmine is definitely lovely

      at my last place I had bamboo and jasmine growing next to each other

      jasmine would win, climbing up thru the bamboo and bringing it down

      also, TIL a new word, kukri 👍

        The kukri has become a fave garden tool surprisingly. It’s just quicker and keeps its edge dealing with the little stuff. Supposed to be an ornamental thing but it works very well.
