I've decided to pursue a strange and radical lawn and garden regimine: I've decided to go native. That's right. Focusing on plants, flowers and grasses that, ya know, belong in southern Ohio. Bringing in plants from other climates is too stressful and consumes too much time, energy and resources. As much as I'd love to grow Hibiscus and Avacado Trees I realize that just because the grass is literally greener in Hawaii doesn't mean that I can recreate it with any success in my little corner of the world. And that is OK. So bring on the Black Eyed Susans, Purple Cone Flowers, Switchgrass, Showy Goldenrod and the Prarie Rose. It's gonna look like 1880 in my backyard before you know it!
