Rhetorical of the day, Strawberries/Wisteria
What's worse to have **next** to your garden - strawberries or Wisteria? I
have both next to my herbal garden and its a constant battle to keep the
clutching vines of both plants out of the ground. The Wisteria isn't even
mine, its my neighbors, they use it to fill in the holes in the chain link
fence that separates us - makes an incredible green wall in the summer.
Only problem is that it overruns EVERYTHING in its path. As for the
strawberries, my mistake of planting them by my herbs. The frickin' things
spread out worse than bermuda grass - only benefit that I can see if that
they only produce once a year and stay nice and bushy and green the rest of
the summer. Strawberries grow wonderfully in Seattle - almost TOO
wonderfully.
