First picture is today! Picture #2 when it was a field the day after I made the path, 3 is covering it with leaves that winter, then year 1 & 2. 🙂
Variety is the game this year. EVERYTHING came up from the seeds we threw out into the field 3 years ago. Not a single tree I planted hasn’t had to be re-tubed with 6’ tubes. Some are 12-15’, it’s crazy. (Oaks, Poplar, Birch, Maple).
It’s almost to the goal in my head of not being able to see the road from the shelter I built, this time next year the Ninebarks and others will fill in the middle and I think it’ll be there.
Sitting in the shelter you can watch birds perch on flowers to eat the seeds, rabbits, possum, deer, bats, list goes on.
Can’t believe this was a barren grass field only 3 years ago. You can do it too!

This is wonderful. Can you tell us more about how you planned the layout? Chose the plants, chose where to place them etc.?
I remember your previous posts! Love the update!
So good!
Absolutely stunning!
Great job! So nice to see something this lovely and positive. Wish you could take over yards everywhere!
