I seem to be blessed with a heavy crop of this blasted plant. It goes every where for sure. My friend Bert, who died two years ago, had it growing in his side yard and it must have been the giant of the family type. Each of the round leaves were as big as saucers!

Oh my, Gary, I remember when I was living in Louisville I had a corner lot close to the Shively area, and the entire corner, even to the street, was covered with the 'blasted' plant. I lived there for more than 10 years before coming here, and I never rid myself of it. Same here. But I have never seen it any larger than maybe a large coin.

I keep telling myself that it at least covers a bare spot where I can't seem to get grass to grow very well, but it very nearly drives me crazy with its persistence.

Thanks for writing, even though it is about a blasted invasive!

Yes, always in KY somewhere. And right now just about 200 miles from Louisville. I still have family there, so I pretty much can eat up those miles in about 3 hours.

Thanks, and you have a great summer as well. We finally have a break from the upper 90's and 100* heat, so I am spending my day right outside in the middle of it, only to come in for a lunch break. It is a gorgeous day. I hope for you too.
