Post a pic of yourself standing in KUDZU
But ... I'm sure I'm probably the only one here who can do that (he he!).

I went to a wedding in north Georgia last weekend, this is the view of my friend's backyard from the deck. It looks like the kudzu is going to devour the house soon.




I could feel it starting to grow around my ankles, I barely got out ALIVE!! :scared:

1. Glad you got out of that patch of kudzu safe, I heard of people falling
asleep in kudzu and never found again.

2. Yeah, you never know what's in the kudzu!
"Isn't it just amazing how that kudzu looks just like Uncle Bob?"

"Yeah, where is Uncle Bob anyways?"

Aaaiiieee!!!!!

3. This is true kudzu can grow up to a 1 foot a day, and that is just one
vine. Kudzu can cover a small building or car in just a few weeks.

The area you are standing in needs some goats, the kudzu would be gone in no time.

4. here is my experience with Kudzo:
It appeared in my area of the country a dozen or so years ago and it was everywhere!!!! I had over an acre of that stuff all over everything but you know, it just went from overtaking everything to just an innocent vine. Much like your pics, which by the way are great....
So, I guess I still have all that if that is what kudzo is. I just call it ground cover or vines. I just spent an hour outside pulling up weeds, which takeover my yard more than the kudzo. Between weeds and kudzo, I prefer the kudzo (vines)
Here is my Mikey


I just pulled up all those weeds around him, but left the other stuff. I wish I did not have to work for a living, I would just work on my landscaping...

5. You were certainly tempting fate there,
and I, for one, am glad you lived to tell about it and to bring back those fab pics.

9. Yes, it was harrowing . . .
but I lived to tell the tale of the killer kudzu. :)
