The project of converting my front yard from turf grass with Asian shrubs to all native plants.
Clethodim is a grass selective herbicide I'm using to eradicate the turf grass in the project. When I mowed this whole section, I applied Clethodim everywhere except in the dog fence area. Now I've moved the fence to mow more and complete the application.
These babies are American plum trees. You need two in order to get fruit. I planted these last fall. The second one was run over by a lawn mower but came back beautifully this spring.

Let's talk a minute about wild strawberries. These are not wild strawberries.
The heat and humidity have been killer lately. I've decided to make a commitment to move 5 logs per day until they are all where they need to be. That's not much effort and it's still progress.

This is one of my favorite native ground covers.
