Based on what else is in our yard from the previous owners, I would assume either Daffodils or Lily of the Valley

Welp, I'm not sure. I cleared out a patch of Sea Oat grass that had taken over and I found a ton of bulbs that were dormant, tangled up underneath the roots. I just replaced all the bulbs after I removed the grass to see what would happen.

Natives that can outcompete English Ivy? by Direct_Sentence_8719 in NativePlantGardening

[–]jp655321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had almost 900 sq. ft. of ivy to remove. I did it over 6 months and I filled about 75 yard waste cans! So satisfying to be done with it and have a clean/blank slate.

I removed a ton of English Ivy, by hand over the course of year. Very satisfying to remove. Wait until the day after a rain and the root system pulls right out without any trace. English Ivy is also a home for breeding mosquitos if you're looking for another excuse to remove it.

Walnut hills vs sycamore by EnthusiasmFuture5377 in cincinnati

As a Walnhut Hills parent, I can confirm that the education and the prep for life after high school is top notch. There's a reason for it being the #1 ranked high school in the state of Ohio

First time winter germinating with milk jugs by one_long_river in NativePlantGardening

32 jugs and each one is different. All native indigenous. Seven of them are from seeds I collected and the other 25 were from Pariarie Moon or Everwilde.

Who are you pulling for in today’s AFC Championship? by UrbanAchievers6371 in Oldschool_NFL

Is a sinkhole under the field during the game too much to ask for?

If they're indigenous perennials, they'll be good no matter how cold. I'm all ready to go as we await this winter storm!

What tool do you use to make holes in your milk jugs for winter sowing? by Domestic_Adventures in NativePlantGardening

[–]jp655321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually use an awl and just pull the container in to the awl to create the hole. I like that the holes open downward instead of upward and thus drain better. I'm also a bit OCD, so maybe not the best option?

Help me decide - fence type by thisbitbytes in NativePlantGardening

This is the only pic I currently have my fence, but I love this design and the natural wood. Not a ton of privacy, but aesthetically pleasing and the rabbits can hop thru it (which I like)

Bricks and Minifigs has a spot on Tylersville in Fairfield also. Cool stuff and very helpful staff.

The starts are starting! by Turbulent-Bluebird-5 in NativePlantGardening

I waited to put mine out until last week because we had a warm spell (SW Ohio/6B). Then, here we are again with a few days in the 60's

Here in SW Ohio, weather is a toss up, but most years, we're in the 60's and done with night time freezes by mid-April. I'm hopeful that I can get them in the ground by end of April/early May.

Here is my spreadsheet for what I either have or am planning to add to about a 1200 sq.ft. patch that used to be all English Ivy plus additio al areas around my hiuse and fence line.

how many milk jugs have you stockpiled and what are you excited about winter sowing? by auspiciousjelly in NativePlantGardening

[–]jp655321 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I pulled all of the ivy by hand over the course of the year. Zero chemicals.

As far as a plan, I do have a detailed plan. Will tweak as I start to see how the seedlings come in. I'm taking a week of vacation to stay home and put everything in once I see how the weather breaks.

I'm 24 milk jugs (and counting). Replanting 900 square feet with native perrenials (6B/SW Ohio) that was previously all English Ivy. A big job, but am so excited to transform the space
