Nice article, and great garden photos! keep up the good work! Planted my native garden three years ago, and was out in the yard drinking a cold PBR pulling weeds, when blamo there was Rattle Snake Master year three! I was so excited!
It’s fun to see your photos, especially since we share bits of garden. Thank you for taking the time to write and illustrate all these wonderful plants!
The longer I live here, the more I realize the care (or possibly not...) the previous inhabitants took to plant medicine plants and encourage natives- with only a few not-at-all awful exceptions. My lazy, 'take care and good luck' attitude about my gardens is perhaps the best thing to happen here. By that I mean; the things that will grow will grow and so long as I don't let the whole place become a northern jungle of the evil monster, bittersweet, the colors and growth evolve pretty well. Maybe I'll tend and weed...later... maybe (I often find that if I wait long enough, those weeds become lovely blossoms- showing how much I do Not know about plants and flowers! LOL). It's hard enough just fighting the bittersweet, honestly.
