I guess you would call me a rogue gardener. I have an acre and half of hill, much of which is wooded, where deer, squirrels as big as cats, raccoons, a groundhog and at least one resident barn snake roam about freely. There’s also a mother fox that often brings her kits/pups out to visit. I garden for fun but the one thing I get serious about is invasive plants.

Plants on Steroids

Picture does not do this hen & chicks justice because it's about the size of a saucer.

The dragonsnaps seem to like were they landed. When my grandson was about four years old that was what he called snapdragons and around here that name stuck.

Moved the coralbells and astilbes this afternoon to the shade garden. The ferns are doing good. I was really concerned that they might have problems since there have been so many hickory nuts and leaves left on the ground. I suppose the tree is so large it pulls alot of moisture from the ground but when I was diggng over there it was really dry considering it's rained almost every day. The leaves apparently act like and umbrella.
