I made the mistake of planting Morning Glories five years ago. They did well. Too well. They tried to take over my yard, and we tore them out, but they had ran over to the neighbors yards, then ran back to mine (I fight off their ivy, so we're all in this together). It took us six years to finally get rid of our mint mistake. It's hard to imagine ferns taking over, but I couldn't see it with mint or morning glories either. Plant management is a challenge for me, but I don't want a lawn, so something else has to happen. The easy way would be morning glories and mint, I expect, with Ivy accents.Your ferns remind me of my cottage and 'up north' @Madri-Gal. So yes... I see the correlation between forest and ferns.
I struggle to keep mine in check. They want to take over the gardens up there. Of course, that's partly my fault. We don't have any form of sprinkler system up there and I've given up trying to keep stuff alive. It's too hard when you're not there all the time. I'm hoping this is the year we put a pump in at the lakefront to water the beds with lake water. If so, I'm going great guns and re-establishing my gardens. The deer will be thrilled.
So I guess I should stop yelling at my husband when he goes outside to urinate...?
Didn't he tell you he was going outside to " water the plants" ?So I guess I should stop yelling at my husband when he goes outside to urinate...?
Up on the mountain, men only ever pee outside. If you suggested that they do otherwise, they'd look at you funny.So I guess I should stop yelling at my husband when he goes outside to urinate...?
The park in the tract from the 60’s when this house was built! (63’) last century!
It looks like a park. Lovely.
@momofthegoons I sorry to be misunderstood?Maybe he meant Eucs?As in Eucalyptus?
Very nice!Here are some goings on around the place. Several beds have not been cleaned up and mulched but that's an unrealistic expectation. I putter along, slowly exerting my influence on the wild.
In the mean time, here are some planters...
Spicy Petunias.
Coleus and trailing ivy.
Dahlia mixed planter
.
It does indeed look like paradise. All it needs is some Special Green....I love to have my hands in the dirt and am slowly taming my wild bit of paradise. I'm in zone 5 and peacefully, mostly, share my space with a variety of wild creatures.
Hostas and peonies
Ligularia and Coral Bells. First and second seasons.
Gout weed, Sum and Substance Hosta, a couple daylilies and climbing hydrangea.
