Native Plant Gardening

The bumbles are enjoying my first summer of some success!


Zone 5a (Twin Cities), mix of tall goldenrod and pink/purple phlox. Loving the color combo!!

Last year we were still struggling against aggressive invasives (just about everything you can think of in that category was in the yard when we moved in) and an aggressive Yellowjacket infestation making it hard to even do that work. Finally this year we won our biggest weed battles, lots and lots of rain, and nothing but peaceful fuzzy bumble friends gracing us with their presence all summer long! Theyโ€™ve been obsessed with my pumpkin patch just behind this area too ๐Ÿ

Excited to expand with even more next year! Any secret tips n tricks for dealing with burdock, or do we just keep digging it up over and over hoping one day we win?
