cramsay's Bees & Bugs garden

Garden Type: Flower | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

A little strip of weedy ground gradually planted with wildflowers and beneficial insect attractors, between my house and the neighbor’s driveway. Half of it is technically on the neighbor’s lot, but they’re fine with it (though I do need to add some pavers for when they get out of the car and step on it!

The Italian parsley are really overwhelming. I don’t even remember if I planted them (I’ve scattered several different seed mixes here over the years), or if they were there before. Each year I promise myself that I’ll take them all out before they set seed, but haven’t managed to do it yet. Maybe this year…
