If you live in Washington, where everything grows like bloody weeks, including the weeds, do NOT, I must repeat, do NOT cultivate ivy. It is evil. It contains pockets of true evil. It kills trees, shrubs, flowers- it smothers, eats away and destroys.
Ivy is a very bad thing. The only thing worse is blackberry bushes. They are beyond evil. Much like Dick Cheney is beyond the president on the evil scale. I think it's the brambles. And the general woodiness of the plant. But evil nevertheless.
We are attempting to save numerous trees in our yard from years of neglect. They were overgrown by the ivy. Blackberries were starting to grow. We got a lot done, but got tired, and had to quit after several hours. It was very hard work, and no doubt the landlord will protest. He probably thinks the ivy is good ground cover. I'll have to do some explaining about landscaping 101. Weeds = bad. Ridding yourself of weeds = good. But seeing how he planted the place in the first place just illustrates that he knows nothing about the old gardening.
And now that I've bored my regular readership silly, back to the scheduled dose of daily angst.

"Ivy" the band is good, though.
Never heard them. For once you have stumped me, sir!
