Plants Gone Wild - Part 3

As I continue the saga of trying to reclaim my yard and gardens from "Plants Gone Wild", wonderful things continue to come to light:

1) when ivy vines are embedded UNDER vinca, they can really do a number on your back trying to pull them out. It's kind of like fishing when you catch a really big one! 
2) I discovered the planter in the picture below which I built when we first moved here, but I haven't seen it since around 1997. 
3) I was wondering where those extension cords went to. Haven't seen them since putting up Christmas lights a few years ago!

I discovered the planter in the picture which I built when we first moved here, but I haven't seen it since around 1997.

This is what the planter looked like before, only it was worse.  I had already pulled out a bunch of invasive balloon flowers.
