Chèvrefeuille

This section of our laurel hedge, next to the back gate, has been invaded by honeysuckle. It's been happening for years now, but this year there seems to be more of it, probably due to the mild and wet spring we had. It's also showing up in other parts of the yard. It's not possible to remove it from the hedge without taking the whole hedge out. I think we need to attack those other places where it's growing and try to keep it under control, if not eliminate it.

Honeysuckle vines in the hedge with their white and yellow flowers. Invasive, yet pretty.

We woke up to rain this morning. It's coming down pretty steadily, but there is no wind and, so far, no lightning. The forecast says to expect the rain to continue through the morning, tapering off this afternoon. No need to water the garden today! I"m going to make pizza for lunch. There's some leftover okra and tomatoes in the 'fridge, so that will go on along with some black olives and crumbled feta cheese. Sounds unusual, but it should be good.
