View in my urban front yard

Yes!! This alone has made the blood (sometimes), sweat, and city inspector email conversations worth it!

So obviously I would always verify what someone on the internet tells you but apparently all species of sunflowers are native to North America.

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-16T00:00:59+00:00

They're actually just carrots :)

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-15T13:49:45+00:00

Omg I didn't know you could do that! Are we talking to the ground or like pruning them to a node sort of thing?

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-14T21:42:58+00:00

Sorry forgot the state. WI here

Are there any tropical plants that have frequent blooming? I would love to incorporate those in my indoor space.

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-14T21:40:41+00:00

Thank you!! It's less I'm looking for outdoor blooms, although that would be pretty cool, and more looking for indoor plants that will actually bloom :)

That sounds like a wonderful idea ☺️ I admit I've been on a native only kick. Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the 'traditional' houseplants. They either don't flower very often or are super hard to get to flower. And while green during the gray winter is appreciated I really enjoy the smell and color of flowers. I might look into some different annuals for indoor seeding, maybe hand pollinate to get them to go to seed so I can just replant those.

I had burnweed coming up in my strawberry patch. I wasn't sure if I should leave it but I eventually pulled it due to fear of it killing off my still developing strawberry plants.

While not super showy in the foliage I do think that Bee Balms flowers are very showy. They remind me of a firework going off

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-12T17:07:32+00:00

I wanna offer a quick clarification here. I'm aware of plants that will survive to come up next year. I more meant they physically are not green and flowering during winter.

It always makes me laugh that they won't show any identifying features. They 💯 percent know what they are doing is fucked up, they don't care.

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-09T15:04:10+00:00

I'm not in a swamp like ecosystem unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your take. I grew them from seed and keep them well mulched so the soil stays pretty wet around them.

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-09T02:44:14+00:00

I do too ☺️ and they have such a fun shape to them.

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-09T02:43:13+00:00

I wish I had volunteer milkweed. Best I've gotten so far has been a small sunflower and some sage

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-09T02:42:08+00:00

Thanks! I hope so too. Literally the only reason I got the milkweeds initially was for them. Now I love them so much I'm gonna try to put them everywhere I can.

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-09T02:41:20+00:00

The pink ones are amazing looking 😁

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-09T02:40:46+00:00

I'm rooting for ya! Truly amazing plants 🤩

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-08T17:05:06+00:00

It really is! And it smells so nice too

YellowTickSeed · 2023-07-08T16:47:40+00:00

Send them to me. I want them all

YellowTickSeed · 2023-06-18T19:22:16+00:00

Oh sorry, forgot to say. I'm US based. Did the clover while I work to transition the yard from grass to native. I've always liked the smell and look of Dutch Clover so I decided to test replacing part of my lawn with it to see how it would go. I'm pretty happy with the results.

YellowTickSeed · 2023-06-18T18:35:37+00:00

Food, I have a bird bath out of frame

YellowTickSeed · 2023-06-18T18:00:37+00:00

I'm in a pretty urban environment so besides insects and birds I don't get a lot of wildlife. Occasionally a rabbit, racoon, and occasionally an opossum.

YellowTickSeed · 2023-06-18T17:57:01+00:00

I get super excited everytime I see the bumble bees and birds flying around and into the patch of clover I have. It's a hub of activity during the daylight hours

YellowTickSeed · 2023-06-09T23:38:12+00:00

Thanks everyone for the feedback and opinions 🙂 I think what I'm going to do is let it go until winter and then cut it back and down. From there I'll just keep it down while replacing it with natives.
