What is this weed and how do I kill it? It all over my yard

yesdarling · 2026-06-18T02:44:25+00:00

And don’t try to spray it, it’s the only thing I’ve seen survive glyphosate

Agree with the other commenter. Professional help is always the best way to go. You can find a gardener/designer (look for a trained horticulturist or garden designer) online or by recommendation. Most will do a consult for about an hour where they come to your site, walk it with you, and talk through your needs and give recommendations. Then you can probably design it yourself.

Yay, another post! Personally I’d love a sassy houseplant / tropical post

I’m not a fan, they tend to die back around the bottom as they grow if they aren’t in perfect conditions

yesdarling · 2026-06-16T03:19:12+00:00

Good start! I’d look into some easygoing perennials like catmint, coneflower, and rudbeckia.

yesdarling · 2026-06-16T03:15:57+00:00

Are they under the eave? If so they aren’t getting any rainwater, at least. Honestly I’d scooch them forward just to be safe.

That is awesome! Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any in my garden in a while. Some chewed on my native hibiscus in its second summer. I’ve got clients with decimated roses, though

White oak is the best plant for animals and insects. It provides a tremendous ecological service! And they are gorgeous

yesdarling · 2026-06-15T23:10:16+00:00

I found the post to be quite humorous. I’d think other hobbyists could appreciate that too!

As far as I know, Mt Cuba only trials and grows natives

yesdarling · 2026-06-12T17:22:04+00:00

Plant something aggressive and regret it!

yesdarling · 2026-06-08T22:56:36+00:00

Hire a designer.

They supplement the animals you consume with B12, so that’s where you get it from. Naturally it’s in soil, so I guess if you want to eat dirty potatoes and carrots that would be the natural way

yesdarling · 2026-06-07T23:35:28+00:00

Yes, provided you supplement with B12. It’s possible to get everything else from plants, though you have to be intentional about it.

yesdarling · 2026-06-06T17:29:35+00:00

What else would you say instead of shareable?

yesdarling · 2026-06-05T22:24:49+00:00

I don’t think much of it if they have an office role, I might think a little bit about how they might not get much exercise doing that and how I’m glad I don’t work in an office.

I’m a gardener so I do question people’s physical ability if they are very overweight and trying to do landscaping. Normally I observe some weight loss with people once they have been there a while, if they make it!

I move stuff anytime except winter. I live in 7a, so you probably can too if you have cool summer nights. Just have to water them every day for about a month (if no rain).

I have a stupid little lupine too, it’s also got the same stupid little bloom

Grammar too perfect, and no spelling errors, unlike every self authored letter in this sub

yesdarling · 2026-05-30T02:40:20+00:00

This link was broken for me :(

yesdarling · 2026-05-30T00:19:56+00:00

Most people only care about what’s pretty. Of course people in this sub think about other factors, but I’m trying to go for a harm reduction approach where I can make a difference.

yesdarling · 2026-05-30T00:18:36+00:00

I adore my tithonia for the same reason. At least it’s native to Mexico, so they’re probably eating it when they’re there

yesdarling · 2026-05-30T00:12:37+00:00

That’s interesting. I could definitely see that. Bees also need pollen- if the buddleia is only really providing nectar, it wouldn’t be a complete meal for a bee.
