Water-Wise Tour Retrospect

Plano's first and my garden's first landscape tour was last Saturday. I am not sure anyone knew what to expect. Based on the turn out and response received to my garden, I think the tour went well. At least 243 people passed through my garden during the six hours the tour was open and more continued to stop or drive by for the next couple of hours. Somewhere around 3:20, the doorbell rang and a woman that said she had a late start wanted to ask questions and look around. I was exhausted…

Pocket Prairie Garden

This pocket prairie is my front yard in Cincinnati,Ohio. I started this small prairie community 4yrs. ago, using plugs of several species of native plants. The first year, there was not an abundance of bloom, the prairie plants were putting down there roots! As with any garden just started,I had to weed and water. But once the natives got established and started reproducing, they fill in nicely...weeds no more! Now I can sit back and watch the flora and fauna! Some species here are: Purple…

The plan is to sheet mulch all but the pathway to get rid of the grass and use @soil3organiccompost on top of the sheet mulch in areas to plant natives.

I’m planting two prairie seed mixes from @prairiemoonnursery (short and tall grass prairie mixes)

I can’t wait to see what it looks like in full bloom.

I will be posting periodic updates on the progress in both feed and stories. | The Ever Hopeful Gardener | David Rose · Little House on The Prairie Pocket Prairie, Tall Grass Prairie, Regenerative Gardening, Sheet Mulching, Prairie Garden, Little House On The Prairie, David Rose, Pollinator Garden, Side Yard

The End of My Foolish Prairie Garden

I have been thinking about the future of my prairie garden for a while and now on April 1, I have finally made the difficult decision that it is time to abandon this foolishness and declare my four year prairie garden experiment a mistake and a waste of time. I know this will come as a shock to many, but I have thought long and hard about this and the truth of the matter is that I miss my lawn and I want it back. I wish I could have known how much I would miss my lawn before I went through…
