growing over my pergola. I thought I had cut it back far enough that
it would not regrow.
I was wrong. For two years now, Stubby has been reborn as a tenacious
ground cover. I don't really mind, except that it twines around
everything in its path. It has swallowed up my pathetic Miss Kim
lilac. It grabbed the legs of a deck chair. It attacked a dying
Arbutus unedo. And now it has pulled a flowepot off the deck.
Next year, rather than fighting it, I may let it have its way as the
dominant groundcover. Or I may come to my senses and hack it back yet
again.
