Heard Minneapolis hit 101 today. I bet kudzu will be creeping up that way.

Not saying I wish that on anybody, but the way climate change is going, well...

3. Did you know that kudzu isn't just edible but also quite nutritious? Similar to kale that way.

5. Heard of making tea from it, and making jelly from the blossoms.

Hadn't heard of eating it.

4. Saw a possum in my back yard recently.

Never used to see them in Minnesota but now they're pretty common. I'm waiting for the armadillos and gila monsters to start arriving.

6. I will make a trade: your kudzu for our buckthorn.

Buckthorn is incredibly invasive and it's got big nasty thorns on it. You can have all you want.
