Jim, You remind me of a funny.......When I lived down in Lauderdale, I planted 4 passies by the back fence. (Chain link) 2 purples and 2 reds. The neighbor behind us had had their drain field dug up and renewed. They never attempted to re-sod or garden or anything. Frankly I was tired of looking at their wastelands.
Well, anyway, withing months the fence was full and lush with vines and flowers, obscuring that eyesore. A few more months go by and I see the vines have climbed up over the fence and attached themselves to the trees in their yard.
They also had attached to the cable (TV comcast or whatever). The cable fell to the ground. We had satellite so wasn't overly concerned about the outage. I called the cable company and told them the line was down. No one ever came to fix it.
By this time I am starting to feel a tad bit guilty for unleashing these monsters. So I got a ladder out, climbed up and started pulling down all these vines.
When I left that house to my not so dear X-SO, I took every plant I could reasonably dig up, leaving the yard looking like a bomb zone.......but I did not take the passies. He won't forget me any time soon.
