Painted brush-b-gone on the stump of a honeysuckle. \u00a0I foolishly planted it where it blocked two beds from the sun.\u00a0 It will not return now, as it has in the past, a Lazarus plant that would not stay dead.\u00a0 Planted Guatemalan Blue and Table Queen squash along the fenceline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
