We boosted our ecosystem recreation swim pond with hundreds of native plants
What's growing in our pond? Lets take a look at the native plants we've boosted our pond with! In this video.
5AM next morning edit (before video went live - and yes, I woke up early with a dream about my food forest, then I couldnt sleep because I was thinking about this and couldnt stop): I had a sinking feeling that the haory plantain ID was wrong so I have done more research. Broad leaf plantain looks very different to Hoary plantain, and varieties of plantain can look very different from eachother, but even still, I didn't like the bottom of the leaf shape.
I won't know until it flowers, but I'm now pretty sure that this is actually Canadian Fleabane, Erigeron spp, and it would make sense if it was because I collected seed last fall to spread. If so, I may do a video on it this summer, because it's a plant that is despised and called a weed by many, but is a fantastic plant and attracts many different moths who feed exclusively on it, and do not harm other plants. I.e. exactly what you want to be doing... bringing in insect food for birds and other insects, in ways that don't cause them to eat your fruit.
Erigeron is also a fantastic bee plant, and absolutely has a home in any pollinator garden, and is very welcome here. It looks very much like a daisy, and I spread this everywhere last fall. I'm excited to see it join the wildflower hill guild!
