Since we bought our house 4 years ago, I’ve wanted to keep our backyard mostly wild. I mow part of it that is close to the house to minimize pests and bugs, and otherwise designate the rest to the birds, bugs, and other animals. The work: most of it we let grow wild, we pull invasive where we can, we removed an old shed, and paid someone to do some clearing and replanting of areas. It’s not organized, but to me it’s beautiful. I’m finding late summer is one of the best seasons for our yard, attracting the most bird species, and the bugs go nuts. Here are photos of our some of the current colors and blooms! Just here to share and admire late summer blooms, and the beauty of what my lawn has become with only some maintenance and direction by me.

    Is that a tree of heaven? Id get rid of that one. The rest are nice. Even the pokeweed

    Your yard is looking a lot like I hope mine looks in a few years! Love the Winterberry! Mine are still just seedlings. Can’t wait to see some berries!
