It's the only way I could describe:)
I am digging over a huge flowerbed and whilst doing so I have unearthed the mother of all things weird.
Between my fence and the shed my garden backs on to there is a weed growing (used to call it a strangle plant when I was a kid because it wraps itself around anything). Anyway I have been trying to pull it up as far as I can reach so it doesn't get too out of hand but couldn't trace a root.......until now?
No exaggeration but I am now in process of digging up what I can only describe as a everlasting thick branch that is woven right through the bed. I have dug about a foot down trying to follow it and whilst I have yanked a lot up there is quite a way to go.
I almost wished I had never started but I was worried that if I left it it may interfere with the bedding plants-maybe not now but in the future.
Do you think I should carry on and get rid or is it unlikely to pay off digging the rest up?
My back is killing me because I have to really tug at it to find where it is going next.

There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.
