Hi Dale,

Those workers probably deal with it on a regular basis. Good thing they
took care of that vine; it probably had enough runners tho, that it may
have spread thru quite an area.


 DS> We have a fair amount of five leaf vines also, plus some English ivy

Steve pulled a lot of wisteria out of the trees at the place we rented
our first few years here in WF. It's pretty, but a nuisance vine also.

It looks quite low carb and yes, the Thai basil would be a good sub out
for the cilantro.
