Projects

I have multiple garden beds around the property that I’m working on at the moment. More to come here soon as I have time to photograph and take notes on each of them.

The Fern Meadow

This area was overtaken by Hay-scented Fern and Common Jewelweed (which I left here in a bucket years ago and considered a failed transplant project at the time). I am curating the plants that grow here and letting it fill in along the crushed stone path next to the garage.

    • Common Jewelweed

    • Hay-Scented Fern

    • Interrupted Fern

  • This patch gets morning sun from the east followed by afternoon shade from the house.

  • This area stays moist and is on the higher side of the drainage area. It does not flood.

  • This area was completely trampled last season when the siding was redone, but it has nearly come back to its previous condition with how prolific the Hay-Scented Fern is. I believe the problematic plant I keep pulling here is considered Hempnettle. Others include Japanese Stiltgrass, remaining turf grasses, and Gooseneck Loosestrife that took over one of the front gardens before I removed it. A few shoots from the trees keep popping up, but are manageable.
