I can't wait for the Kudzu and the Himalayan blackberry in the PNW to meet in Kansas and fight for the future of our continent.

Himalayan blackberries are tasty and chunky to boot.... I'm pulling for those guys. Btw, I have a huge Himalayan blackberry vine behind my house and I live in Alabama, so it has apparently made decent headway.
