Lonicera japonica

The spell of hot weather seems to have moderated somewhat: the temperature has fallen to a more civilised level in the low twenties and we’ve even had a little rain today. Last night, however, was very sultry. After dinner I stepped outside into the garden to get a bit of fresh air and was bathed in the wonderful scent of honeysuckle carried by a very gentle breeze from the far end of the garden.

The photograph was taken about 10pm, just after sunset. It reminded me of Tennyson’s “..the woodbine spices are wafted abroad”, though woodbine is technically Lonicera periclymenum (usually called European honeysuckle) while the flowers in my garden are of Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle). Going by previous experience, it will probably carry on flowering until late August.

#4Things Firstly, a sweet #MourningDove was singing on my neighbor's lawn this evening and I blessed it. Secondly, though I knew all day that it was #MemorialDay, as I walked up my mountain of a driveway after putting the garbage at the curb I was still taken by surprise when I got my first hint of the scent of #JapaneseHoneysuckle on the night air that is hardly moving. Thirdly I need St. Anthony to visit because i lost something in my house and really want to find it. And fourth and finally, here come the infernal fireworks from the pit of hell. No one needed to know any of that. Does that mean I'm over sharing? 😁😁

This article also discusses making home-made weed killer from vinegar and soap, but be careful when applying it... Don't apply to flowering plants, and apply at night after the bees have gone home.

#EcoFriendly and #EnvironmentallyFriendly #WeedKiller: Does It Exist?

By Stephanie Osmanski
Updated July 20 2020,

Excerpt:
"Another eco-friendly alternative to weed killer is enlisting the help of animal friends. Good for the environment and entirely non-toxic, goats can scarf down any unwanted weeds from #kudzu, #OrientalBittersweet, and #ailanthus to #MultifloraRosa, #JapaneseHoneysuckle, and mile-a-minute.

"In fact, some companies — such as #Ecogoats and #GoatsEatWeeds — even rent out goats to homeowners that want eco-friendly help controlling their unwanted noxious weeds. Because a goat’s least favorite food is grass, a goat will eat everything else first before munching on your lawn."
