Last year I decided I was tired of having grass so I rented a sod cutter and pulled up a large portion of the front yard. I planted around 500 plants of different varieties and began a long war with the rabbits. This year almost everything came back and I'm super happy with the results so far. Still a lot of work to do though! This year I have another round of about 500 plants going in once the seedlings are big enough and my native guest pick up is complete. Here are some photos of what's blooming so far (minus the sedges and coral bells because the rabbits ate all the flower buds).

This looks great! What size were the plants when you planted them last year? Iām doing a major overhaul this spring and have put what feels like a million plugs in the ground, with still more shipments arriving every week!
