Native Plants

Walking to school today, I thought again about how strange it is that there is bamboo lining the road. I think it about it most days as I walk by, but I'm only now writing about it for some reason.

Jared and I have talked about getting some land someday when we can afford it. We both dislike fences a good deal, so we've talked about some possible plant barriers. Maybe somebody thought that bamboo would be a good idea as a "natural" fence in San Marcos. But bamboo is next to impossible to get rid of, and it's not native to the area. So knowing this, I'm hoping that we'll find a native plant that might be an effective barrier. Really, we'd prefer not to build or add anything as a barrier. Let the world be free.

It's really unfortunate that trespassing is a problem, though. If it wasn't, fences wouldn't be necessary. Property lines might be blurred. But we have such a need for possession and definition of mine versus yours. In a way, I wish that could be different, but I don't quite know what that looks like...
