Garden chores, taming viginia creeper 

I always find it amazing how plants find all the nooks and crannies :) have a good weekend Garry :)

I never knew Muammar Gaddafi was a gardener!

Must be why they call it creeper LOL. I noticed it behind you in your last video, I like the way it hangs and moves like a curtain. Never see it grown like that over here. It has already turned bright red here.

my favorite part is just how rapidly these vines grow and how far a single plant can reach out on its own....

I didn't see you in the bushes, when you came out, you made me scared lol.

We have those all over the place too! Just like the horsetail it's impossible to get rid of! The only thing to do is what you just did, try to contain them :)

its hanging on a wire so the house wall doesnt get damp

Nice job planting a non-native plant in the UK! Hope it takes over your garden

Nice to see the sun shining :-)

not good james if it takes root under the decking, then it can spread and take over the whole garden

Cheers Stevie you too.

Gorgeous autumn display though.

here in Virginia USA, those creeper will covered any trees and block out sun light eventually will kill those trees

Yeah great but it will die off when the frosts start so even if it goes into the decking you'll have to do the same thing next year I've just let mine grow and grow then hopefully die!

I been battling this mess for years, some years pull up hay bale size amounts. My whole backyard is full of it coming from neighbors property. It half killed my backyard tree and I think was part to blame killing my front one. I'll pull and dig it up, put stuff down to kill it and it sometimes will still end up the fence a couple to few weeks later. Vines sometimes Tarzan could swing from growing across the yard under ground and baseball bat thick stumps for the source. It loves growing under my fence along the sidewalk and fence between me and neighbors. It'll come up between boards and bust the fence apart. I always wear long sleeve and gloves removing it, but it never fails to put tons of rash blisters all over my wrist, hands and forearms and easily spreads to other body parts. Absolutely hate this hellish plant. It has made trying to care for my backyard a nightmarish hell for many, many years, and then I see video after video, folks promoting planting it and spreading it about, since a chunk of the population does not rash out when their body touches this mess. I think they'd feel differently about it if they were affected the same way it rashes up others.

I bought one today. I don't think I'll plant it. Shame it so vigorous, it looks nice.

That's a really pretty wall covering they way it's growing in your garden but for me, I'm in the US in NC and that crap is ALLLL over the ground. I don't want to spray weed killer because I don't want to kill bugs and such but I don't have any idea how to get rid of it. It's miserable on the ground.

I thought it was frank spencer at first!! ;-p

What’s dangerous about it? I can’t wait till mine takes off, to get some privacy in this fishbowl yard of mine

it came out for an hour so I had to get the old camera whirring

yep,they mean

did you train it to cascade or did it grow that way naturally?

This is not a good idea as a climbing plant on a pergola then? 😭 had my heart on this for the autumn colour and the fact it's mostly foliage as I'm not too keen on flowering climbers as it's just gonna be a hive of activity for wasps. Last thing I want is to be looking over my shoulder every second I'm trying to chill out under the pergola Haha 🤣 ..Dammit...
