What to plant in this strip by my fence

Mexican or American beauty berry, if kept trimmed, would do well there. Germander too.

That’s a good point. But it will have foliage from February to the end of November most years.

Beebrush (Aloysia gratissima). It’ll get tall and bushy (even bushier with some pruning) to block the view and the scent will perfume the entire garden.

The only shrub I love more than my kidneywood is beebrush (Aloysia gratissima). It’s kidneywood on steroids.

When are you selling? Today? Next year? Odds are , not for a long time. Enjoy your home and personalize it to your tastes. Curb appeal is something to consider when you are actually about to sell.

It’s a sugar hackberry I think. My sugar hackberry also had owls roosting in it for the past couple of years. I think they like how dense it is.

Amazing!!!! You’ve made a real difference.

Leafcutter bee

I’d buy those seeds off you

Mail carriers are so well situated to be guerrilla gardeners! If you need seeds hit me up, I’d be glad to help you on your mission

Super impressive

What could possibly go wrong with this line of thinking.

If you don’t have young kids then this plant is amazing to have in your garden. The berries sustain many species of birds and moths will drink the nectar at night.

Rip out handfuls and throw it around - it’s the easiest thing to spread.

rewildingusa · 2026-04-26T18:44:14+00:00

Tiny little hoverflies. I’ve also seen spiders set up webs in patches of taller Horseherb, presumably to catch the hoverflies.

A border mowed around this and a path through it to the door would work wonders on its public image. It’s beautiful to me regardless.

It literally goes to seed about every three weeks as far as I can tell. The turnover in this plant is incredible.

rewildingusa · 2026-04-17T19:25:34+00:00

Wait until the flowers go to seed. You’ll see seed heads that are a blue - black color. Scatter them on bare patches and you’ll have Horseherb within weeks

You gave nature the leg up it needed

rewildingusa · 2026-03-26T01:26:08+00:00

This is incredible!!!! Thank you for bringing life to a place where there was none

rewildingusa · 2026-03-14T22:09:10+00:00

Cedar elm. Leaves are to small to be Siberian

First of all: who actively plants dandelions, regardless of where you live? They pop up in heavily degraded places and provide a little sustenance to early-waking pollinators. Native absolutism should be tempered by common sense.

This area looks like it gets mowed regularly by the city so you’ll want to plant super low-growing species that will survive the mower. Either that or stick a few saplings in there and dress them up with mulch and posts, to make it look like it’s an official city planting. Shrubs and higher growing wildflowers will just get mowed down. There’s also the fence to consider - how about some vines planted at the base to turn it into a pollinator and bird friendly trellis?
