The bush honeysuckle has a purpose now

Its protecting a small patch of native plants from being mowed by the maintenance guy

Cuz he won't cut it down. So he also won't mow that area. Which means last summer and fall we had a small patch of Prairie in the backyard cuz the trees that were blocking those plants from getting sun before were gone.

The bush honeysuckle and I have a begrudging truce for now

Because fuck the HOA

#its kinda funny cuz theyve always struggled to get grass to grow out there #its a hill and lawn grass roots dont go deep enough to keep it in place when it rains too much #BUT GUESS WHAT HAD NO PROBLEM GROWING AFTER THE UGLY TREES THE PREVIOUS RESIDENT PLANTED WERE TORN DOWN #PRAIRIE GRASS BITCH #AND WILD FLOWERS #and the honeysuckle didnt seem to impede it at all #i feel like i should start recording what happens with the patch #we're gonna cut back the honeysuckle a bit #and my mom has a packet of wildflower seeds meant to attract pollinators she wants to plant out there #ooohh and i could keep note of what kind of animals i see out in the patch #im gonna have fun with that this year
