It is June, gardening time on Cape Cod, in The united states. Gardening is political. Plants get diseases and invite pests. Chemical substances to kill the pests and get rid of the ailments are political as are the businesses that make the things. Russian olive and burning bush shrubs are invasive. Who knew this a long time back? Now they intrude/invade neighbors’ properties and spring up amid the mountain laurels and rhodies. Invasive vegetation are now illegal to grow.
