    Man im working so hard to be that yard, but its not as easy as just stop mowing!

    Always on the lookout for invasives, poison ivy, tree sapplings (my yard isnt big enough to support any more trees without threatening the house), and other undesirables.

    Then theres also the english ivy encroaching from the corner that I’ve pretty much given up on :/

      It’s great that you’re helping your native plants stand against the invasives, they’re like the schoolyard bullies of the backyard.

      English ivy is a tough one, but at least getting the vertical growth is a fairly easy to manage. the vertical growth is also more problematic because it is a requirement for producing berries and killing trees
