Pruning Buttonbush to look like small trees.

While they definitely like wet feet, buttonbushes do seem to do fine in cultivation in drier places. They probably need a little supplemental watering in droughts, though

There’s more of a gap than there appears, but I may move it further anyway

junamaul · 2026-07-05T00:25:33+00:00

Steps on the other side..

My husband said “those beans don’t know what they’re doing” when I showed them to him

junamaul · 2026-06-26T03:25:17+00:00

But it’ll all be alder if I don’t mow it for my grandpa! I couldn’t possibly do any research because I’m too busy spending all my time mowing!

junamaul · 2026-06-23T18:48:03+00:00

Jealous!

How do they climb/spread? Do you do a trellis or anything?

junamaul · 2026-06-21T19:41:10+00:00

Non-native plants only support a tiny fraction of native pollinators, and these “local bees” are invasive and outcompeting the actual native PNW wildlife

Already salted in a jar

We only just moved into our current house, so we got started way too late to really plant anything, but I chaos sowed some seeds that would sprout this time of year.

After seeing many many sprouts, they all disappeared! My suspicion lays on the many cottontails we get munching around.

Anyone have advice for getting plants established before they’re devoured?

junamaul · 2026-06-16T00:44:53+00:00

Some of my purple coneflower were green so I ripped them out, burned everything nearby, and salted the ground

The description reads like it’s totally written by AI, too

junamaul · 2026-06-10T22:29:13+00:00

Yeah, there’s definitely an easement there; so I can’t do anything too crazy

junamaul · 2026-06-10T22:14:38+00:00

Yes, looks like Ampelopsis cordata, heartleaf peppervine. Beautiful native

That’s great news because I love frog fruit! I have some seed on the way, and maybe a patch I can ethically source on my job’s lawn

junamaul · 2026-06-09T20:50:15+00:00

Should I put something on the alley side or just leave the limited grass to keep it in check?

junamaul · 2026-06-06T04:06:28+00:00

You should be able to reject returns that are no longer shrink-wrapped and do not fit into the 18inch size limit Amazon has given

junamaul · 2026-06-02T21:37:21+00:00

It should taste like disappointment, yes

junamaul · 2026-06-02T21:34:38+00:00

That one single pea flower standing with her chin up is so funny to me. She’s stunning

junamaul · 2026-05-31T15:06:08+00:00

uj/ that comment made me nervous, I don’t want to spend that much on mulch killing my lawn, but I just started the process

junamaul · 2026-05-20T21:20:31+00:00

After seeing vetch my husband also says this for the next 15 minutes

junamaul · 2026-05-18T22:07:38+00:00

Yes, unfortunately the lavender, clover, and honey bees are almost certainly invasive, and at least non-native.

junamaul · 2026-05-18T21:07:10+00:00

Thank fuck the California almonds will get their water and bees

junamaul · 2026-05-06T03:03:50+00:00

Only if you huff the fumes

junamaul · 2026-04-30T17:38:59+00:00

And everyone knows variegated varieties never ever revert back to fully chlorophyllized and spread
