I bought random plants from a garden center years ago and just recently found out they're native! Blue false indigo. I've got a few around the yard; going to have to plant more. They've got lovely flowers (2nd pic found online; my plants are already done flowering for the year). Zone 7 in eastern US.

Edit: Apparently this plant is pretty rare in the wild in its native habitat 😕 https://extension.umd.edu/resource/false-blue-indigo/

I replied to both and asked if they were speaking about adult women. Looking forward to the gross backlash.

We've got patches of violets and clover and plantains. I always loved that we had plenty of strawberries... But now I'm starting to realize these might be mock strawberries instead of wild strawberries, and so invasive. 🙁

Do I have to worry about pulling the strawberries, or will the violets and other stuff eventually overtake them?

I've got a decent patch of Joe pye weed growing next to the house. Does anyone have recommendations on spreading it to other parts of the yard? Is there an optimal time to transplant them? East Coast US, zone 7. Thanks so much!

Forced to nap. Such tragedy.

Eastern US, zone 7... Love to see a blanket of flowers over the yard. In the early spring, we get wild violets and now the clover is popping up.

She bites. I'm afraid.

I'm in zone 7 on the east coast of the US. I'm interested in growing native, edible plants in the yard. We've got wild violets, creeping, Charlie, purple dead nettle, and plantains so far. These just sort of popped up on their own, since we don't use pesticides or do much weeding. (We do try to get rid of the English Ivy when we see it; a previous owner planted some and it's horrendous.)

I love foraging for free food. Does anyone have any recommendations on native, edible plants I should introduce to the yard?

One fang to rule them all, One fang to fight them,

One fang to bring them all, and in the darkness bite them

Sad reality.

He murdered that plush fish real good.

For the crime of stealing my spot on the sofa, I sentence Luna to snuggles and chimken treats. 😤 I hope she learns her lesson.
