Mint is probably not one of the many native mints :(

It depends on the area. English Ivy is not native to the US, and it can fucking suck. It can easily take over entire areas. Since it re roots itself, it’s awful to remove.
It’s great in it’s native environment
Just… don’t use it in the US. Plant natives plants. There are lots of incredible native vines.

Plants can be more aggressive just by nature.
Generally, it’s probably more location dependent. Concord grape (a cultivar of fox grape) is native to eastern US gobotany.nativeplanttrust.org/…/labrusca/
So if you’re in this area it may not be a big deal.
Virginia Creeper is also native to that area, and folks consider it a weed because it grows fast. Even though it’s native, and the colors slap in the fall.
Keep your concords

You cannot fuck up with this folks. Just buy potted native plants and shove them in somewhere that matches light conditions and maybe wetness. They just grow without any other input.

Yeah good point, it was fucked up warm this year

Not my favorite. I found a neighborhood that others tend to drive to, which I think is most other people’s ideas, so it ends up getting slammed. Which imo would be sort of fun to decorate for

Has it always been like this or is this a result of the pandemic?
Going out this year I saw lots of folks just outside their house during the start of trick or treating. It was actually really neat. And I just… didn’t expect it

There’s a smother option but it takes 5ish years of leaving smothered.
There’s the roundup spray option, which is probably the most effective currently? It’s critical you spray at the right time (after it flowers)
I saw one option of repeatedly cutting it to eventually starve the plant of energy. I suspect there’s some specifics there about when it’s ok to cut though.

I knew one of the designers who worked on that (or maybe on one of it’s ports?) and he fucking loved the game. He would often describe in detail why it was the superior kart game

Yeah it’s great. If you haven’t yet check out the pack “Create: Above and Beyond”, it’s a Create centric expert pack. Pretty challenging and a lot of fun

I’ve been playing ones like Enigmatica. As long as it contains the Create mod then I’m happy

Sure, it’s becoming clearer that food and plastics are not a good mix. The Whirlypop method is aluminum though
- Comment on Anon makes popcorn 6 months ago:
Y’all should ditch microwave popcorn for an Air Popper or Whirlypop anyways. Since the microwave one sheds micro plastics apparently

I love your line of thinking. Lawns don’t feed the ecosystem, flowers do! But here in the US dandelions and clover are not a critical part of their diet. Native plants are the critical part of their diet - e.g. Native maple trees that bloom first!
Dandelions are native to Europe
Clover is native to Eurasia
They are far from the worst weeds, i wouldn’t go eradicating them like you should invasive plants (I leave both in my lawn anyways). But if we are looking to support our bees and ecosystem, then we should be re wilding our yard and growing native plants
In New England there’s a lot of neat spring ephemerals too (select from additional attributes)
