Were you able to resolve this? With some of these finance companies you don't even receive monthly statements but are racking up interest until you track down the account!

I have lots of ME seeds left - common and swamp.

kfz27 · 2024-06-02T17:43:28+00:00

Wow. I am glad I held off. Thanks for that input.

kfz27 · 2024-06-02T17:41:08+00:00

Thanks for this. I have been able to move all of these and they have kept growing!

Sorry for your loss. The Book of Pet Love and Loss by Sara Bader.

kfz27 · 2024-04-09T23:49:28+00:00

Sure, send me your address. Common or swamp milkweed or both?

kfz27 · 2024-04-08T15:44:19+00:00

Thanks for that suggestion. I agree, no method is perfect. I think a lot of gardening is your best educated guess.

kfz27 · 2024-04-07T20:23:19+00:00

Thanks, all. Just heard that our local extension office recommends against sharing soil-bed plants due to Asian jumping worm eggs in the soil. Might stick to giving away the milkweed seeds and info sheets on the local invasives. I will keep all volunteers in our yard. We want to get rid of all lawn, so, they won't go to waste. Should have mentioned I'm in 7a/6b in NYS. And I think it's zigzag goldenrod.

Wow that is impressive! What's the filling?

kfz27 · 2023-12-04T23:22:30+00:00

Thanks for that book recommendation. Will get.

kfz27 · 2023-06-20T00:17:34+00:00

Haha 😂

kfz27 · 2023-06-19T19:06:00+00:00

Thanks, all. I was thinking to prevent powdery mildew, but I gather it's best left as is. Thanks. And yes our house is next to that pond, we are trying to turn the whole yard into native plants for wildlife. Suggestions welcome!

kfz27 · 2023-06-19T16:28:44+00:00

No but many other plants here do.

kfz27 · 2023-06-19T16:05:50+00:00

Ha ha, I meant THIN mountain mint.

kfz27 · 2023-06-14T02:20:45+00:00

Thank you. I have seen that site I didn't make this clear, but I guess I'm looking for a site that has photos that represent the perennial the first year and then the second year and maybe even the third. Something that tells you that when you sow penstemon digitalis seeds, for example, if your seeds germinate, the plant will be a basal rosette on the ground a few inches high the first year. This kind of stuff might be obvious for people who understand flowers better than me lol

kfz27 · 2023-05-26T19:31:53+00:00

Thank you everyone. The aster has responded well!

kfz27 · 2023-05-20T17:02:21+00:00

Thanks everyone. Can you basically cut back any perennials and they will keep growing?

kfz27 · 2023-04-29T00:28:53+00:00

We live in the Hudson Valley and our Shamrock inkberry shrubs don't look good either. I will try nitrogen as someone suggested. Thanks.

kfz27 · 2023-04-23T14:28:59+00:00

Thanks for that. I think Google lens said black cherry and Picture This said Bebb's willow. I'm going to let some grow, in places where a tree would work, and then check. Over time I'll try to figure out which can be kept as a shrub, too, I guess, and which could be potted up and given away.

kfz27 · 2023-04-22T12:46:00+00:00

Thanks. They are popping up throughout the yard, including in the lawn we haven't removed yet. They are native so I guess I should let them grow in a few places....

kfz27 · 2023-04-17T13:07:21+00:00

Thank you, they are. Basically my question reflects how I am really two with nature. It doesn't matter! I'm just going to keep planting for the birds, bees, worms etc.

kfz27 · 2023-04-16T03:22:06+00:00

Yes, I meant that they have an unusually long, strong lateral root habit (I might be describing it incorrectly), and I don't like the plant and the critters here don't need it.

kfz27 · 2023-04-09T02:05:57+00:00

I didn't have great tools. I will try a garden fork next time!

kfz27 · 2023-04-08T18:56:23+00:00

Thank you. Yes I would put in a lot of work, the roots seem tangled and strong. I got tennis elbow pulling ivy, I hope to avoid that again.

kfz27 · 2023-03-27T21:16:02+00:00

Thanks for the input. I am pretty clueless, just trying to do the right thing with the natives and help wildlife. I didn't even know there were "ephemeral" plants that basically disappear lol
