And boy did they need it. I have no idea when they were last cleaned. Most of them had several inches of beautiful compost clogging up the works. But no longer!
A couple of the lines actually had plants growing on them. Here's one that had developed an impressive root system. If you look closely, you can see the plant still growing out of it. Yes, that's all roots.
So yeah, just another thrilling day here in Outland.

That's crazy! We have had several plant nightmares at our home as well. We have numerous Siberian Elms sprouting up dangerously close to the foundation, not to mention the Carolina Creeper (I think) that is systematically strangling all of our trees. I'm glad to see that you, unlike us, are actually doing something about these botanical pests.
It just doesn't get better than that ....
Wow, your gutters are as fertile as the Tennessee Valley.:)
Love your posts, Alex...about the ordinary, unglamorous stuff of life. Yet somehow they are still so interesting and enjoyable. Those were impressive gutter roots!
