The family that used to live here liked to plant things with thorns, spines, or prickles. They also liked to plant things in spaces too small for them. This Japanese barberry fits both those categories. Also it is an invasive exotic. But it pays off in fall.

Berberis thunbergii:

The kale is also beautiful:

I love pretty cabbages and lettuces. Purple and green FTW!

I'm glad you can get a pro/con balance

on barberries (which I think of as barbarian bushes).

The pretty kale is edible, right?
