Greetings from Richmond, Indiana where I am just starting to learn how to take control of my 18 acres. I've lived most of my life in Los Angeles, but left there in 2021 and purchased this property. I achieved real success with California native plants between 2015 and 2021! Here, first I had to learn a whole new ecology - midwest vs a Mediterranean type climate. Now, I see I have to clear much honeysuckle, privet, burning bush, callory pear, miscanthus, multiflora rose, autumn olive, and garlic mustard. That's just what I have discovered so far. I have a plan of action and am learning all I can about this wondrous new estate. I ordered 130 seedlings to be delivered this month, all natives, 13 each of 10 species selected for wildlife value. What an adventure. And even though you are in Montana, I enjoyed the content and found it to be spot-on and learned from it as well. Thanks, job well-done.
