It grows into vines a few feet long, not very tangly, that run along the ground and don’t seem to climb. It seems to grow in large numbers of smaller vines that don’t seem to be connected in the roots.
Its completely blanketing my garden, choking out even other weeds, trying to expand into my lawn, and growing almost as fast as I weed it.
I’m wondering what it is, and/or if there are any particularly good ways of dealing with it. I’ve been tilling the ground, flipping over the soil (down to roughly a foot) and putting a layer of mulch over it, but Im still having stuff grow back.
Edit: solved: its periwinkle.
Makes me miss /r/whatisthisthing.
Edit: I’m a complete dunce, I forgot !whatisthisthing@lemmy.world exists. I’m even subscribed.
Me too. It was one of my favorite subs before I cut out reddit
Google image search gives me this guy, which sounds and looks right http://www.namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=1639
The ones in my garden haven’t produced any flowers (might have something to do with me trying to kill them) but it does look like it, esspecially this picture from Wikipedia.
I think its solved.
Side note so we can link an image and it will appear here than the site? So we can give lemmy.world more clicks? And hopefully give reddit a run for its money.
It is green
I have a plant identifier app that says it’s periwinkle.

This is pretty damn good for this kinda thing
It is tenacious but if you use good old fashioned weeding for a few years ago you can suppress it fairly well.
