These
area few....
To
see the ones we DO want, go here...
It's still here, we still have to get rid of it, it's everywhere, even on your property ... so when you mow, look at your property's edge to see if an onion smelly dainty heart shaped leaf it there with a cute little white flower, then kill it. This plant is a biannual. Those little white flowers are the seeds - new plants will emerge in 2 years.
BUCKTHORN:
Still here - a little less thanks to Gary Love's new line of furniture -
but still here. Please cut it down. You'll notice that underneath where
Buckthorn grows - it's dirt, nothing else, no ground cover, nothing.
THAT'S why it's so bad - nothing grows under it, so soil washes away.

MAPLES:
Last fall we had some great colors,
but one of those colors is a bad one. bright
yellow maples, otherwise known as Norway maple. They are a problem because
they shed 1000's of seeds and they can take in the shade, creating a
new understory in our wooded areas. Please do not plant Norway Maples.
Instead plant sugar maples - they are native to our area.
It will return along our shorelines, we will need to do the same routine with this stuff, any volunteers???? It can be clearly identified right around the 4th Of July.
It looks like a sparser variety of
garden phlox but has 4 petals
instead of 5 and the leaves
alternate around the stem. It
also has long thin seed pods
of a mustard.
Cute little scalloped leaves.
Small purple flowers in spring.
Not as much a nuisance as the
others because he is so small
and low to the ground.
