In March, I scattered anise hyssop seeds around the garden and they grew abundantly. To manage their growth near the street, I offered the plants to my neighbors. I replaced rabbit-eaten sunflowers with various milkweed species. However, I found invasive catnip thriving, which I’ll remove to protect other plants. Some volunteer plants, like firewheel and evening primrose, are thriving and will be maintained.

The Kindness of Neighbors
The writer planned to garden in peace at 6 am, but was interrupted by a construction crew and stressed drivers. Neighbors gifted plants and advice. The garden is thriving with some plants, but others need tending. Overall, 12 new plants were added for the summer.
