The creeping evil
Given that I'm not much of a gardener and only pay the minimal attention required to my garden - a bit of water here and there, weeding when I'm no longer able to see the front gate - the amount of hatred I'm feeling seems out of proportion. I find it particularly disturbing the way their fine tendrils can appear almost overnight, claiming garden tools or edging towards window sills with startling speed. I wouldn't be at all surprised if one day in the garden, I looked down to see a green vine corkscrewing its way around my ankle like a botanical boa constrictor. Convolvulus, if you're lucky enough to be ignorant of it is like Herpes of the garden. I haven't felt this much hatred towards a plant since sometime in the eighties when I stopped running around barefoot having run-ins with stinging nettles. I sometimes feel as if the Convolvulus is eyeing up my meagre vege patch much in the way that Hitler did Poland. So far I have never actually seen a Convolvulus vine move but I put that down to sneakiness on the part of the plant rather than assume a lack of motility. No my current weekend nemesis is Convolvulus aka The Creeping Evil. I'm surprised by the level of animosity I feel, actually.
