Teasel and purple loosestrife in their native lands are nice. I have killed thousands of them here over the past 30-years as they are very invasive in the Chicago area.
Sorry for your losses.
I lost my father to lung cancer in March, he was in hospice as well. I lost my trees as I lost interest while helping my mother take care of my father.
I know how much hospice helps as my wife is a hospice nurse.
I had a pair of mallards visiting my koi pond everyday until two weeks ago.
now I have to tackle the algae and six foot weeds my wife and daughter would not let me take care of, because they might be nesting.
Thanks Leo, I have been doing prairie restoration work in the Palos preserves for 30 years now. Got 95% of an 80 acre site cleared of buckthorn and honeysuckle.
