[quote=Anonymous]OP, they're not necessarily jerks, they just don't know any better or consider it a priority.  I'm sure your neighbors could all find something about you that they interpret as jerky behavior.

I think I always knew that English ivy was an import (hence the name) but was unaware it was considered "invasive" until I moved to this area.  I grew up in New England, tons of people used it as an ornamental but I just don't remember it being so aggressive there.  Maybe it's due to the longer growing season down here.  All three neighbors around us have some sort of English ivy in their yard, but only one house looks like an intentional planting of it.  The other two have remnants in places under hard to reach bushes, etc.  Which is where it usually shows up for us too.  I'm the wacko on my stomach climbing under the azaleas trying to yank it out, but I it would never occur to me to begrudge my 80yo neighbor for not doing the same, and the other family are not yard people and I doubt they notice or care.[/quote]
