Native Gardening

Love my asters, they are growing everywhere, white, purple, pink, cream. I let them reseed as much as they want to

Great fall food for the bugs.

I planted something in the spring — sort of like a wildflower mix. Flowering season is over for them, but there was SOMETHING that came up in multiple spots in the bed. It must have been a volunteer from last year, because I planted short-to-tall, and this SOMETHING is huge and everywhere! And it won’t stop growing….and growing….and falling over and growing some more. These plants are in excess of 7’ tall. No flowers, just shrubbery. My app said it was something in the “aster or cosmos” family. Hubby thought it looked like ragweed, so wanted me to pull it up — I didn’t. It started blooming this past week — bees everywhere! Yellow cosmos! (I even got a bee to pose for me)
