Beauty Endures
After all the pretty coreopsis and gaillardia matured, they left a sea of lovely seedpods. I talked my husband into leaving them in place as long as possible so that all the seed could mature and fall to the ground. What he discovered when he finally tried to recover the lawn again, was that quite a few of the plants were an inch or more in diameter at the base and had developed quite a root system. Needless to say he wasn’t too happy when the lawn tractor couldn’t make a dent in them and they all had to be pulled and chopped out by hand! Texture by moxylyn.
