Seasonal Record

2026 Honeysuckle vine! This plant has been so difficult, until it wasn’t. I love having a full frangrance of honeysuckle vine if I can. I planted my first one here along a west fence in about 2018. It died. Planted again. It died. Tried somewhere else. It died. Planted 3 next to the house hoping they just wanted to be warmer. 1 lived. I replaced the other 2. 1 lived. Again this year I replaced the the 1 honeysuckle vine, fingers crossed come spring.
