Yippee, 2 days in a row above 70' in Oregon! After work I got to mow, weed, trim, and say hi to old friends: 6 (of 13) fern varieties together, bank of wood violets, purple trillium, surprise volunteer corkscrew rush!

Thanks! It took a few years to naturalize this yard to be just that, and I am now enjoying it.
I collect edible and wildflower seeds and plants from the wilderness and create my gardens at home wherever I move to. I have lived in my present home now since 2013 and have a patch of grass left that is 4 feet X 8 feet left to play with.
@CourreurDeBois you should share pictures.
I have too much grass that I would love to get rid of (not by help from my dogs).
I keep slowly substituting the grass with garden areas. But I would welcome ideas.
@CourreurDeBois, yes please share some photos as @Zoohome asked. My problem - crazy yorkies own the front yard (approximately 80x100) and then most of the rest is pasture of the horses but I am always looking for new things to try.
@Heidi68 All my pics are on my phone and I have not been able to (illiterate)post from my phone to this site yet, same on desktop, I can only post downloads not pics. One of these days I'll have it figured out, then I will be able to post on here lol. I'm self taught in all I do and my teacher is not a geek lol
@CourreurDeBois I totally understand that - which is why most of photos are on my phone - I can't seem to get them off my camera, into a computer, etc........
