    Anyone know what this is? It's springing up all through one of my flower beds.

    It`s not an ornamental Ivy, but if you want to plant it under your fence, feel free. It will however, take over.:dbgrtmb:

    How has it seeded itself everywhere? Birds?

    Thanks folks.

    I guess it's for the bin

    It`s quite possible birds are to blame.

    Be careful Victoria, let it grow and you'll never be rid of it.

    Transplant it to your neighbours stereo speakers, give them a good watering and then a liquid feed, the roots should soon penetrate the sub woofers and give you endless silent pleasure as they entwine their tendrils through their amplifier and cd collection.
