Battle of the Creeps

There ’s a face-off going on in a forgotten surface area of my yard , Ancient Vikings must have planted some Creeping Jenny ( Lysimachia nummularia‘aurea’)and then when the next undulation of marauders swept through , it got block . When I finally noticed it , it was like ascertain buried treasure , even though it was just Creeping Jenny .

And that golden . mouse hoarded wealth was under siege from another even less desirable weirdy … creep Charlie .

Cue the medicine : every time I attend at this situation , this songruns through my head .

I have to say , I have intervened just the slight mo ( I sat and pulled out pieces of Charlie while I was on the phone once , for about 20 minutes ) and Jenny seems to be ahead . It ’s not a moist spot , it ’s on a sunny slope , my money was holdall on Charlie .

I should have acknowledge to put my money on the dame .
