I didn't know we had a native chickweed, I've only ever seen the eurasian one growing near where I live. I have never seen that for sale anywhere either, did you have to collect the seeds from the wild? Good luck with your madrones! I have one that is about to go through its 3rd winter, seems to be making it in my backyard so fingers crossed!
@Hayley-sl9lm yea, our native cerastium can look quite similar to some of the non native ones around. But yes, I collected the seeds myself as I do with the large majority of things I'm growing now! If your madrone has made it this long, I think it'll be good to go! 🤞
Im interested in trying arbutus too!! I heard of a nursery selling them in biodegradable pots so customers can bury the whole thing and skip all the potential user error when planting
Love you ate still growing!

i also really appreciate you trying to move away from peat. peat destruction in canada is so bad because of the plant trade
@LittleSpaceCase Oh, biodegradable pots sound like a neat idea for arbutus!
