I have been repeatedly impressed by the marginal wood ferns (dryopteris marginalis) I planted this spring. More than once a fern had lost all its fronds (from falling branches, careless meter readers, etc.), looked dead for weeks, only for fiddleheads to appear seemingly out of nowhere.
Locally grown herbs, flowers and seasonal vegetable starts.
I’m going to have to check this place out
Some lessons learned for the next time I remove nandina domestica.
Cleared out our nandina domestica today. It didn’t look like much, but it was apparent that someone had previously cut these back so the root systems were much larger than the foliage volume would indicate.
I filled 2 construction garbage bags but split it among four bags because it was so heavy.
I found a native fern among logs set out for collection at a neighbor’s house, so I brought it home in hopes it will establish itself in a shady part of our landscape.
