But editing is always part of keeping it “natural” - we’ve found, nudging their edges, moving them around to better spots, and doing a bit of tidying, as necessary!Lisa Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546271182217310594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-39822058636463139022017-12-31T05:14:46.639-06:002017-12-31T05:14:46.639-06:00I agree with Gail - your garden looks wonderful! ...I agree with Gail - your garden looks wonderful! The plants that nature sows always end up being so much happier than those we coddle so this sounds like a winning strategy.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-39262582542497653782017-12-31T01:05:34.403-06:002017-12-31T01:05:34.403-06:00I think it looks great and the less work, the bett...I think it looks great and the less work, the better!

It's not hipster tidy but it's pleasant, natural, and inviting to wildlife--just like your garden.

Also, as you've discovered, rampant self-sowers. You are always going to get invasive seedlings like Chinese privet, but if the area is packed with more desirable "weeds" (thugs, volunteers, etc) the invasive seedlings will be few and hopefully can be pulled out when small. But I think you're headed in the right direction!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-63425420250069630722017-12-30T16:56:48.412-06:002017-12-30T16:56:48.412-06:00To my "gardening for nature eyes, your garden...To my "gardening for nature eyes, your garden looks great! The unknown Carex are cool and not being tidy works for me. Speaking of carex, I wish I could id them...they seem impossibly difficultto tell apart.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.com
