What’s growing on with you all?

My native garden is still very much a work in progress. I think the birds always get to the seeds, because I’ve never had a problem with growing plants until I decided to grow a native garden. Luckily, there are some already native pre annual plants on my property. My goldenrods have came back, and my dogwood tree is growing back shoots after a fungus killed the mature parts of the tree.
I sprinkled some Joe Pye Weed and Black Eyed Susan seeds and I think they may have sprouted this time? 🤞🏾 Pic below is where I think planted them 😅.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. To me, that looks more like lemon balm than Joe Pye. For comparison, from our gardens:

Ah man. I wonder why my seeds never seem to sprout outdoors. I should sprout them indoors first next time.
Don’t beat yourself up! It can be very difficult to sprout seeds in spaces that aren’t cultivated or prepped for them, and planting them in competitive spaces, while rewarding, ups the difficulty. If there’s a garden center that you like, go and ask them if they’re willing to give you some of their plug trays. Some distributors take those back but not many, so they might be more than willing to give you some for your starts. Then you can transplant those plugs of yours and get a leg up on your garden plans 💕
