The first thing I did at Avdi’s was to put that *&^% exotic invasive in its place–a pot!  Not a minute too soon!

I weeded the hosta shade garden, and transplanted a non-native Chinese wild ginger (Asarum splendens) from the “woods” to there.  That garden is really shaping up to be as intended.

Then I went back and stomped down all the aggressive natives along the woods edge that have probably crowded out my wetland natives.  So there.

I planted a basil plant from my apt in the basil section of the herb garden.

I weeded the outside of the veg garden that has lupines, foxglove, and okra.

Here’s Billie attempting to look even smaller, and Loucious wondering what that encroacher is still doing here.
