Anybody ever planted something on purpose somewhere that wasn't on your space/land?
There is a long chain link fence that is owned by a business just up the road from us. Its an 8ft fence and its maybe 6-8ft from the road.
There is some wild grape and other miscellaneous scrub growing on and near it all the way along the road. The county uses a tractor with a brush hog that they lower on an arm to keep it "mowed" usually 1-2 times a year.
Sooooo..........I got the hair brained idea to plant a honeysuckle and let it go bonkers on the fence. The fence runs long enough and seeing how its not being bothered I figured why not?
Plant it on the side the county maintains and being close enough to the fence I figure its got a good chance. The fence runs east/west so it would get a nice long southern exposure and if I gave it a good time release food and trained it to get it started............
Id plant it on my property but I don't have a fence and knowing how busy it will be with bees I don't want the kids having to avoid an area because they are all over when its in bloom.
I'm going with the help the bees idea (never mind the fragrant perks) but figured Id ask if anybody else considered it.
