Default Kudzu

In Georgia, the legend says
That you must close your windows
At night to keep it out of the house.
The glass is tinged with green, even so...


I hate this plant! It's slowly taking over all our farm land and it's impossible to get rid of.

Kudzu is a plant that was introduced to the southeast USA in the 1930s - 1950s, and is native to Asia. It was mainly introduced to help with soil erosion but instead it kills everything it comes in contact with.

A Kudzu vine can grow by a foot a day and will climb any tree, house, car, or anything else that gets in its way. The only way to get rid of it is to chop it down, destroy the root system, and hope you didn't miss anything.

Lol what happened that you had to start this rant about a plant? Did it destroy your homegrowing?

It goes like this:

My brother and I are the last sons in the line, in fact we are the last people in our family line considering my dad was the only one out of all the kids to have kids of his own. My great uncles and grandpa are getting old, my dad and uncle are to busy to do farm work. My brother is not interested in anything that does not have anything to do with a basketball.

Guess who gets stuck removing this kudzu every summer?

At least this land will be mine someday, and when that day comes I plan on killing and eating all of the cows and putting the land to good use.

Hm... I'm thinking:

[Alice] FEED ME!

*cough* Anyway, locusts would probably eat it all and trim it quite a bit, eh? It does look cool, though.
