Depending on your point of view. For those of you who thought yesterday's shot looked like roots or ramen noodles. In the upper shot, you can see how the ivy vine tendrils are still hanging on to the screen and the wood of the lattice work on the screen house. In the lower shot, you can see how I still have a whole lot of work to do when I get the last of the roots dug up and tearing down the vines from the roof. Getting them out of the lattice work and screen is meticulous and painstaking!
But you will get there, Its al about the end goal. Keep up the hard work and If I drop back a little on commenting, it is because I've switched the laptop off, I feel I'm wasting far to much time on the internet and am going to hit some books instead.
Oh we had some and even after cutting a 6 inch section out the new roots/tendrils re grew to the main plant. Quite scary and lots of hard work good luck mrs
@justeddie Thank you, Eddie! I'll get it finished, eventually! Yes, studies are more important than this! Do what you must!
@binny LOL! It's the latter, Binny! Thank you for your comments and visit!
@lizzy_lu123 Thank you, Lisa! It's either clean it up or tear everything down with the screen house. Appreciate your kind comments!
@yonnie Thank you, Yvonne! Just doing what I have to do.
@cocobella It's that time of year, Corinne! Still so much to clean up and clear out, there's no time for fun stuff like plant seeds and new plants. Appreciate your comments! Thank you!
@lindag It's not poison ivy, Linda. Although I do have some poison oak I have to get rid of, too! LOL! Thank you for your comments and visit!
@sleepdozer57 I have dug up all the roots but three, Peter, and I will get those this coming week. Thank you for your comments and visit! I hope it won't come back!
@cimes1 Thank you, Carole! Appreciate your comments and visit! I'd welcome some help! LOL!
@netkonnexion They're not for the art of photography. That's for sure! I had to show some folks that yesterday's shot was NOT noodles or roots. Thank you for your comments and visit!
What a huge difference between the shot y'day and today. Thanks for showing us. These are very nicely framed. Can see that there is still a bit of work to do, but you will get their in the end. Then you can enjoy it (until next year..).
Well ... I always look at something like this as beauty. But, then I'm not the one working my tail off to keep up with it. I might even go so far as to tear down everything ...unless you're using that screen house alot. Which I imagine you are, Maggie. Beautiful photo and great way to capture what "overgrowth" looks like.
@redrucksack LOL! I hope I'm digging up all the roots so I don't have to do this anymore, Eva! Thank you for your comments and visit! Always appreciated!
@karenann LOL! You would not have seen these shots, if it weren't for the "roots" and "noodles" comments on yesterday's shot. I felt like I had to show them what the tendrils looked like on the vines and how they grew. I will not include these shots in my slide show when I'm done. LOL! Thank you for the kind comments, Karen! Always appreciated and always grateful to have them and your visit!
@sugarmuser LOL! It's far from done, Sharon! But I know I will when it's done. I think it does love to take over. Peter was the one that told me it was destructive to brick work, too. That's when I decided to take it all down. Appreciate your comments! Thank you!
Cool how you framed this! Looks like you are looking out your window and now that I read comments I see you are looking out at loads of work! Maybe you could eat some Ramon noodles before starting this daunting task! Ha!
@janturnbull I would consider it, if it would not kill my roses and shrubs around the screen house, too. What do you have in mind, Janet?
@wannabe LOL! I don't think I'll ever look at those noodles the same way again without thinking of ivy tendrils and lose my appetite. Thank you, Catherine!
We had some ivy in our backyard that we took our a few years ago. It was a lot of work, so I know what you must be going through. I like how you framed this. Very nice.
@loragill LOL! Lora, I thought these shots were terrible and only posted them so folks could see what yesterday's shot was without macro. I'm surprised that you and some others like them! Thank you! Really appreciate your comments and visit. =)
What a huge difference between todays shot and yesterdays, Maggie. You have done a lot of work. It is hard to show what you are doing or size of what you are doing in photos unless you show it like this. What did you use to frame your photos? I found a few instances now that really can use framing like this, especially this birds nest. I cannot get to it easily and not in the shape you are in. Take care of you while you do this. Hugs!
@darsphotos LOL! It's a lot of work, no doubt. I just used InDesign to create my collage. It's part of my Adobe Creative Suite, Darlene. Thank you for your kind comments and visit! Most appreciated! Hugs!
@ebdubay LOL! It's pretty dang strong! Maybe it's making me a little stronger though. Appreciate your comments, Erinn! Thank you!
That looks like a lot of work waiting for you! It'll be worth your trouble though, when everything gets done and looks great. Awesome textures and details in your shots!
I definitely do not envy you! Better have somebody else do it for you or else let it be, haha. II may be getting old or too lazy for hard work. Very cool shot.
You'll get there in the end, you work hard! =) just think how good it'll feel when it's all done and you can sit on your porch drink in hand admiring your handywork =)
@simon0128 Thank you, Simon! Really appreciate your visit!
@swguevin Thank you, Sheila! It's so funny... I didn't post these pics for comments about the shots. I really thought they were pretty terrible. I only posted them because of all the comments on yesterday's pic about it looking like ramen noodles or roots. So, I had to show those what the textures were made from. Appreciate your comments and visit, more than you know! Thank you!
@vickisfotos Yep! So I'm digging it all up. Now gotta get it off the roof and work on the screen and lattice work which might take me all year! LOL! Thank you, Vicki! Always appreciate your visit!
@marlboromaam A reply to your question of ages ago! I used Roundup on our ivy, and it worked very well. Made by Monsanto and contains glyphosate. It gets down to the roots and it's best if you don't break it up too much so you don't get a lot of separate roots.
Lovely shot, I like the framing :O)
My garden is so small, I don't have a lot to do....you seem to spend a lot on yours.
@binny LOL! It's the latter, Binny! Thank you for your comments and visit!

@cindyrez It's amazing how big the vines can get if you ignore them a few years! LOL! Thank you for your comments, Cindy! Most appreciated!
