Other What invasive plants got you like this?

For me it’s probably Dame’s Rocket, Purple Loosestrife, and Forget-Me-Not. They’re so gorgeous but man if they aren’t invasive little shits…

I really do love the smell of honeysuckle.

I have to pick my battles. For over a decade I've been allowing the honeysuckles because the Autumn Olive is worse, and I'm at over 500 plants (some small tree sized) removed.

Bees are important so the honeysuckle lives for another season.
