You don't have to go into crazy detail or anything but what is the maintenance like on all these plants? Is it as simple as watering when they need it? Do they need additional nutrients or anything?
All of it is so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
Basically nothing, lol.
Maybe I'll give some alfalfa powder in the spring. Everything but the marigolds/sunflowers are perennial so they don't get watered. These are all in the backyard, I do water some of the perennials in the front, especially the cedar bushes, because they are thirsty. I mostly choose plants for minimal maintenance.
Jewel weed is a weed, I try and control it but don't have too much luck, especially when the rose protects it. I didn't include photos of the rose specifically, but you can see it in the Joe Pye weed photos.
I will prune back the rose harshly this year (to 1/3) to promote bushing and will cut back the rose mallow to the woody base. Milkweed and Joe Pye weed will get cut back too, in the spring, when I see new growth. The dead bits help me see where that are!
