Invasive Plant Species List for NC

Are you worried about invasive plant species?

If yes, here are two lists to help identify if invasive species & picture identification.

I continue to be amazed at how many plants are invasive in my yard. Lawd, have mercy, I wish I knew years ago what I know now. Especially Porcelain Berry, one year I let it grow cause it looked like a grape vine, then it went to seed. Next thing you know, it’s all over my yard, climbing every tree and bush in site.

Don’t get me started on English ivy, Asian wisteria, greater periwinkle, and ground ivy.

What drives me crazy is there are Nurseries that SELL severe invasives like the Tree of Heaven.

The other day I realized the Mahoney Leather Leaf is invasive. It’s the one with the powder blue berries. I loved those plants in my backyard. It got hacked down. It’s not nearly as invasive as the ones I listed above.

Here are the lists:

NC Rabbit Breeders Association – best in show

Captain’s Log 2026.03.21- I’m at the Greensboro Coliseum complex (Klingon Battle Chamber) for a kid’s sporting event & there’s a sign for ‘Rabbit Breeders’ on the door.
Ok, my curiosity is piqued. After one of the kid’s volleyball I go over. There’s cages and cages of rabbit varieties, California, Graphite, etc.
I sought out the legendary New Zealand breed (the White one in pic) because one of my Attorney friends had to take care of a rabbit farm for a weekend as a teenager. During that weekend, a buck New Zealand rabbit sprayed him with urine from 10 feet away. Pause and think how you would feel if that happened to you. Great story so I had to see one of these legendary bucks in person.
The breeder confirmed that they are spicy and will definitely spray urine when they get angry.
Then I saw the French Angorran. Also photographed. The sheer amount of fur was amazing. Apparently you can use the wool – if wool is the nature of this hair – straight from the animal to ready for production.
The breeders were very friendly and informative. I’d go back next year.
One of my business ideas has been a rabbit hutch farm. A far cheaper way pound per pound to get meat then other domestic animals, especially cattle. So in talking with one of the owners, she mentioned that she can only sell her meat or the rabbit for two dollars per pound to the culler. Sounds like the culler as middleman Actually makes the bulk of the money. However, I’m sure has to butcher store package and deliver. My thought: is that these breeders and farmers should form a middleman co-op. If only I had more time to devote to something like this.

Beware who you hire as a hunting guide

What happens when you pay the wrong guide for your waterfowl hunting trip?

You might end up losing your gun, needing to hire an attorney, and sweat out court charges for Rally & Shoot.

In the article link here, some Michigan hunters hired Craig Macphee to guide them along the shores of Rhode Island.

What did the guide do? He put out decoys, lured in birds, then circled the birds via boat and pushed them towards the hunters. Come on, dude. That kind of stunt gives hunters a bad name.

Plus, he didn’t even get approval to be a guide in Rhode Island.
