The weeds she tells you not to worry about

Spent the day pulling honeysuckle vines out of a homesteader client's back fence. I turned a perfectly good set of pruning shears into beaters pulling all that stuff out, but this guy was just extra in every way

i know it's crazy but at the bottom of the vine, in my viewer, it looks like there is a red dog with a black and white muzzle peeking in through the fence

You are lucky they are still small. Mine were so overgrown. 3+ in diameter stalks. 2ft coiled root balls of 6 or more plants. 12 of these setups in a row standing 20ft high. I dug out a 40ft x 5ft x 2ft portion of my lawn just to remove all the roots and reuse the space.

Lol, yeah, they had been trimming them, but leaving the vines in the fence for years. I had to go ham like that on some crepe myrtle the previous owners put in my yard. I had been trying to kill them with other methods for a few years but they just kept coming back, so I went at em with a shovel, my beater axe, and a tamping bar. I'm still finding shoots from runners I missed
