In addition to a bumper crop of maples, squirrel-planted hickories and oaks, 
and the usual poison ivy, this year I am swamped with Oriental bittersweet 
Celastrus orbiculata that is coming up by the thousands everywhere I look - lawn, 
flower beds, hedges, driveway, just everywhere.  It has been an increasing 
problem for several years, but this is the worst its ever been.  We have 
neighbors who do only rudimentary gardening - that is as in hanging a pot of petunias 
on their mailbox post each summer which promptly dies - and have let it grow 
up over the trees in their yard.  We have suggested that it isn't good for the 
trees, but they say they don't care.  I don't care about their trees if they 
don't, but I do resent the fallout of the bird-planted vines coming up 
everywhere.  Auralie
