Before and After
Before I had finished removing all the honeysuckle.
Before I had learned that garlic mustard was a biennial and that if you don't pull it every year it comes back.
Before I had finished the rock wall using fieldstone off the craigslist free page.
Before I planted PawPaw and Spicebush and Asarum and Claytonia & Everything Else.
After. (although looking in the other direction. the large, straight trunked walnut is on the right in the 1st pic and on the left in the second)
I believe it's fair for me to ask, after being informed by professionals. After doing my level best to restore this space. After having brought nature home (past tense). What next?
So many of us are working on our little piece of a crazy quilt. Each piece with a different size and shape. With the small spaces every bit as important in the final assembly of a well-formed quilt. If we want our quilt to support as much wildlife as possible, we should be thinking about how the individual pieces of quilt can be stitched together as they are completed.
