From around the garden. Some native and nonnative plants. It’s a mess and needs a lot of work but it’s bursting with life!

Reading native plant gardening books in the library and when I look up my favorite plants they're all like "This plant easily becomes a WEED that is IMPOSSIBLE TO ERADICATE. If you aren't careful, this AGGRESSIVE plant will TAKE OVER YOUR ENTIRE GARDEN, KILL everything else you have planted, RUIN your marriage, and BEAT YOUR ASS"

hey if ur in the midwest or more specifically missouri here’s some websites i’ve found helpful for finding native seeds and live plants (they’re not all in missouri or the midwest specifically but have some seeds from around here too bc truly human made borders are fake and plants go wherever they want so):

wildseedproject.net

mowildflowers (this websites cool bc they’ll deliver live plants to you if you live nearby enough and they also go to different places around missouri all year to sell plants at festivals or events or whatnot)

nativewildflowers.net

swallowtailgardenseeds.com

strictlymedicinalseeds.com

toadshade.com

treeseeds.com

ouriquesfarm.com

putnamhillnursury.com

sugarcreekgardens.com

prairiemoon.com

seedvilleusa.com (also on etsy)

mybutterflylady on etsy

everwilde.com

and if u ever need help or info or whatever about plants or even find a place to exchange plants and buy some on a forum check out dave’s garden

if anyone knows any other websites and wants to add them on i’d totally appreciate that c: !

(i will update this with more websites too if i come across any)

Cool Plant: Asclepias viridis

Green Antelopehorn Milkweed

This plant is found in the southeastern and south-central United States, especially in Texas, Oklahoma and other parts of the Southern Great Plains, where it is important food for monarch butterflies (like other milkweed species).

It grows happily in poor, rocky soils and on roadsides and in other barren places.

19 April 2024 - Friday Field Notes

Pond scum 🐸

Spiderweb with condensation and frost on the left and Golden Currant (Ribes aureum) on the right.

The prairie is largely still sleeping. We've had very wide ranging temperatures the past few weeks, everywhere between below freezing up to the low eighties, 30-80°F. And of course, it snowed yesterday lol.

Apart from the early spring bloomers, most of the plants seem to be biding their time for more consistent temps.

On the left, what I think, is Douglas's Sedge (Carex douglasii) and on the right, Purple Locoweed (Oxytropis lambertii)(Or is it a milkvetch? My coworkers and I have not come to a consensus, but Seek said locoweed, so I'll go with that for now. It's pretty, whoever they are).

Some of my native plant starts at my house have started germinating though! Which is exciting! I potted these back in mid-February and just left the trays outside to do their thing. A couple more weeks and, hopefully there'll be some more green.

This past January, I made a resolution to get my garden beds to 70 - 75% native plants. My, oh my, that was an ambitious goal. I probably need another year or two to reach that level of coverage. On the other hand, the native wildflower seeds I purchased in January have germinated and produced healthy, vigorous shoots (above). Today, I planted the spreading Jacob’s ladder (Polemonium reptans) in four different beds. I have spots prepared for the rest also, including hairy beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus), blue-stemmed goldenrod (Solidago caesia), yellow pimpernel (Taenidia integerrima), and wild geranium (Geranium maculatum). The project is at least moving ahead; this coming September, I’ll buy or collect more seeds to plant before the first frost.

as promised, the transplanting tutorial

most sources make transplanting sound incredibly difficult, but transplanting young seedlings from areas with sparse dirt, like a driveway or roadside, is actually incredibly easy and can get you some great stuff. Once I worked out the method, i've had a very high survival rate

it took me like a month of trial and error to figure this out so you don't have to.

If you want to support local insect populations but can't garden or landscape - here is a list of keystone (especially important to the food web) species that can be grown in containers for each eco-region in the US. This would work well for folks who live in apartments with balconies or who can put out hanging baskets or window boxes.
