Man, AV is the scourge of Phx. People put it in pots and in the ground,
and it's so freakin' tough that it just takes over and spills out over
the ground. It keep spreading like crazy until it hits cement or a
solid year of neglect.

I finally came to peace with AV by learning to harvest it, scrape the
flesh out of the blades in long strips, blending it, and freezing it.
That way through the summer I just pull out a tub of it and keep it in
the fridge for burns.
