Cappy & Pegody's World: Some Shady Dealings in Peggy's New Garden
Great read Cappy. Placing myself in that situation, I thought the stuff taking over the garden might be Kudzu. It has become a nuisance in our state after some airhead thought it would be a good cover crop and good food for pigs. Pigs won't eat it and it grows about a foot a day.
Yea I have heard the Kudzu stories. It's always something. Here the bane of the bayou is the water lily back in the day folks imported them cause they actually have beautiful flowers and they liked them in their fountains and such. A flood washed them into the bayous and now they are choking the swamp. Nothing eats them.

We have those in the Santee Cooper lakes, especially the upper part of Lake Marion which is mostly flooded cypress swamps much like your Bayou waters. They sometimes get blown in big bunches onto shore and you can't get your boat in and out of the ramp it is so choked with the things.
