liked reading your gripes about Goldenrod. Makes me love the plants even more, they are gods gift to queen bumblebees that must prepare a well stocked burrow for winter & healthy early spring family… : )

In reply to Greenscaper Palero. Galanthus 'S. Arnott' is early, tall, fragrant, and multiplies well. In my garden it is easy, but not all snowdrops do well in all gardens. However, it seems to be a universal favorite.

Sharing snowdrops is such a lovely gesture! They’re a perfect sign of spring, and it’s great to see a community built around them. Do you have a favorite variety for beginners?

What a wonderful birthday gift, and the illustrations are amazing. You must be SO proud! I’ll think about buying a copy because it looks fabulous. 🙂

I LOVE goldenrod…and so do the pollinators…I let it grow as it has choked out the chameleon plant…that chameleon was so hard to control

Oh my gosh I’m exhausted from reading all that. It’s like a massive shell game where you’re running around picking out the biggest challenges and then all the challenges change.
I like to remind myself there was nothing here when we moved in, and it’s so nice to work with a clean slate…. but then I miss stuff, so it’s always better to give stuff away to friends, just in case!

In reply to Jane /MulchMaid.

If you’ve been gardening for decades–as I have–you lose enough plants to natural causes that eventually you come to realize that there are always changes and upheavals in the garden. The thing that made me most anxious was the shrubs. But not because I was that afraid of losing them, but because I was afraid they would still be in the way of the contractor when it was time to build the new deck. That didn’t happen, so we’re all good.
