Last autumn, I removed a sizeable patch of chinese fountaingrass from this area. By the spring, garlic mustard was trying to establish itself, so I dug that out. Now, it's the home of some white snakeroot (ageratina altissima) that I grew from seed. I'm hoping it will colonize the area quickly, and prevent other non-natives from growing.

About fifteen plants are currently in the ground, with seven more to add. It's supposed to be highly deer resistant. So far, so good- it has been untouched for several days. I know the deer are aware of it, as they were watching as I was planting, and I've seen hoof prints in the soil.
