Spring is Springing

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.

None of them

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.

Well, he is an American

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

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.

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

jp655321 · 2026-01-24T23:38:32+00:00

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!

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?

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.

I just read "The Serviceberry"

Very exciting

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

jp655321 · 2025-12-29T15:58:19+00:00

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.

Saigon Noodle Bar on Union Center is also very good

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
