[MAIPC] Big Mystery

[Rod Simmons]

The record 65-plus inches of rainfall we had in 2018 I’d imagine.

Hi Marc,  I conjecture that the extraordinary rainfall of 2018 may have benefited some plants and changed their behavior. That may be the case with your honeysuckle. Similarly,  my personal observation is that the seed bank of Garlic Mustard seems to have been stimulated with a lot of germination this spring of first-year rosettes. Hopefully that may help our control efforts in the longer run. Cheers,  Steve Young

Big mystery. I noticed at Cherry Hill, and Little Paint Branch Park in PG county and Swann Park in Charles County that Japanese honeysuckle is about 5 times worse this year than last year. Volunteers can no longer remove it. We plan to come back in late fall or early winter.
