I was drivng through Norwell Ma , yesterday and spotted a lone well-trimmed bush in the middle of a persons property.
The only deliberately grown bush of this species that I have ever seen, it was a bitter sweet vine, (Celastrus scandens).
My property is filled with this invasive vine, growing 55 feet up on one of the trees in my backyard, as well as growing everywhere else.
The person who has that vine as a maintained shrub, has to keep his eye out for that vine taking root amongst his other plantings. - Tom
since it was a cool and wet June, gardens are behind the curve...
I've got lots of big tomato and zucchini plants..
I've started cutting back on the tomatoes to get the green ones to do something and my winter squash plants have very small fruits growing so I think I'll give them a haircut too....
we've enjoyed lettuce, zucchini, raspberries, dill(in salads) and will have some beans in a day or two....
