Granny's gone and done it again

Yesterday was clean out the hen house day, and coops... Putting down layer of 'mowed' grass is making life super easy.. At the end of the week, I just start at one end and roll it up like a carpet and out it goes to the compost heap.. then I stick in a nice fresh layer of stuff from where I've been mowing..
 
I see your trumpet vine blooming. Those grow wild here but orange.
Yes, it's very invasive here.. and supposedly poisonous to chickens. No free ranging in many parts of the 'farm' because of it... It grows so much it chokes out large trees down here.
That's in an area I cleared Jan/Feb this year. Just trying to keep down the weeds/vines until I can get some grass growing there.

we have wild black eyed susans, day lillys , trumpet vine. Wisteria is popping up every where. That will choke a tree out fast here. Orange milkweed and a huge purple cluster flower . My fav. red ceders grow everywhere.
I love wisteria.. got some started at the old place from seeds I stole from a neighbor. Brought some here with me, but for some reason couldn't get them started. Here we have trumpet vine, muscadine vine, virginia creeper, japanese honeysuckle, green briar, and kudzu.. the kudzu is driving me nuts.. keep having to go out with the sprayer and brush tox and smacking it back down.
I dug up quite a few of the green briar tubers and they are monstrous. https://www.foragingtexas.com/2008/08/greenbriar.html
Also have poke berrys growing in some dirt that was hauled in here at some point just east of the shed. Those tubers can get danged big too!

I have seen a lot of black eyed susans along the road side.. still haven't gone out and robbed any of those yet. I love them.
