Stop Mowing Your Front Yard (Blog 349)
Where are these beautiful purple coneflowers in the picture below growing? Perhaps in a field or meadow somewhere?
Actually, they are growing in our front yard. A number of years ago, I decided to stop mowing a small section of our front yard and "just let it go." The result has been a profusion of growth of wild plants whose seeds were present in the seed bank: purple coneflowers, daisy fleabane, Virginia creeper, ragweed, black-eyed susans, and many others.
