the war on bishop’s weed
So, last year I shared a post about lovely surprises I was finding in our yard as bulbs peeked up in the Spring, perennials woke up, and bushes leafed out and bloomed. I learned the dogwood trees in our front yard had white blooms, which was exactly what I was hoping. A large bush that is falling over under its own weight is a beautiful mock orange that just needs some serious pruning. What we thought was a dead dogwood tree is actually a lilac bush that has grown taller than the house! It gave me a better indication of what I wanted to heavily prune and save and what I wanted to remove. One of the plants I shared was a ground cover Google identified as Ground Elder or Snow-on-the-Mountain, which both sound lovely. I left it alone to bloom and thought the lacy white flowers were so pretty.
