Swapped the tombstones for pumpkins this year, but the prairie finally gets to be the star 🎃 (7b)

We converted our front yard (7b) from Bermuda grass to a 100% native prairie a few seasons ago. We love Halloween decor, but our old tombstones and animatronics didn’t click this year
seemed too cluttered.

So we added some spot lights and tucked pumpkins into the wildflowers. They pick up the color in the sedges and fall blooming natives. When the season is over, they’ll go to the compost bin and chicken coop . Yes, I know the pumpkins are not native 😅

How important is edging in the beginning?

I have the cardboard. I have the mulch. I have a new (to me) home with a huge yard that is begging to be transformed. I have a plan that includes starting small.

What I don’t have is the money or, if I’m being honest, the energy to install edging around the areas I want to start on. I feel like I shouldn’t start sheet mulching if I can’t keep it “contained”. Am I overthinking it?

I’m right on the border of 5b/6a if that matters.

Front Yard Renovation

Converted our front yard in Zone 8b from grass to a native plant landscape (minus the one Japanese maple that will stay). Roughly 120 native plants installed
