May Garden Bed Update!
We’ve had a boatload of rain, so the plants are quite happy and filling in great. This is year three for this bed and I’m excited to see how it goes through the rest of the year! (How it grows?) Happy to see a few things that made it back strong including wild quinine and the slender mountain mint is looking fantastic! I think it might be ready to finally put on a show this summer. #nativeplants #wildlifegardening

Native Bed 4/15
The rose verbena is in full bloom! The sweet smell hits me in the face every time I come home from work. Yarrow is getting ready to follow soon. Also my coral honeysuckle vine has it’s first flower buds, excited to see if the hummingbirds love it as much as the blue sage. #nativeplants #wildlifegardening

Perennial Pots Waking Up
I have four permanently outdoor containers currently: •Prickly pear with rock pink •Harebells •Agave with purple poppy mallow •Eastern blue star All of which are in years 2 or 3. It’s fun being able to just leave them outside all winter or toss them in the garage and forget until spring. Hoping to try a new combo this year with littleflower alumroot and violet wood sorrel! #nativeplants #perennialcontainers #containerplanting

More Growth After Rain!
Native bed showing more signs of life. Wanted to show closer pics of the yarrow and rose verbena, which is starting to pop off with it’s first round of fragrant flowers for the year! Yarrow is way fluffier than I imagined, and I love it. #nativegardening #wildlifegardening #nativeplants

Native Garden Bed Waking Up
Excited to see what returns from last year, the yarrow and rose verbena LOVES it in this cruddy spot by the garage. Also waking up we have blue sage, slender mountain mint, foxglove beardtongue, little bluestem, prairie dropseed, aromatic aster and several more… Hoping to try a couple of new ones this year. #nativeplants #nativegardening #wildlifegardening
