RE: [GWL]: FW: Kudzu

I knew a guy in Manhatten that had a Kudzu plant growing from his 23rd floor
balcony for 5 or 6 years before it finally died.  He was sure he was the
only New Yorker growing Kudzu.  It is hard to be the only New York city
resident doing anything that at least one other person is not also doing.  I
suspect he was in fact the only Kudzu farmer in New York City.

Given the bad rap that kudzu gets most of the time, I thought a lot of you
would find this interesting.
