All gardeners at some point regret the plant choices they've made in the throws of excitement.
And I am no different.
Having no plan, no consideration to garden design or preconceived notion as to what I am shopping for, will stop randomly at my local garden center.
And purchase plants I am truly sorry I did.
This invasive, impossible to dig out every root plant is called 'Coronation Gold' Yarrow.
It spreads like wild fire on a dry prairie field. It seems that the more you try to cut it out the more it spreads.
This is it in the lower left corner. The flower is a nondescript yellow button.
The next plant is the 'Ostrich' fern. A "good" friend gave me a few fronds.
A word to the "wise" lol...
If a friend has something growing in his yard that he consistently gives away, beware.
Now don't get me wrong, I adore ferns. Just not the ones that crowd out and overtake any living thing in its path.
This fern eventually "swallowed" the hostas growing nearby.
So this spring, as every spring, I vow to dig up these thugs.
And not give them to a friend
