Hi Chicken_Boy, yeah the 2nd pic isn't the best, I tired to show the vine running up the trees.Now those plants in the front of the pic are a type of bamboo that is everywhere in the woods here.
Chicken_Boy , I don't know what you'd call our soil. I do know you dig down three foot & ya hit clay. This land used to be a river bed long ago.Lots of hardwood trees & cypress. We are surrounded by woods,but our 5 acres are mostly cleared.
