I feel for you. I am hoping to stay here all of our lives...but, winter does get old. I cannot imagine living in Florida though. Funny, Jeff and I were just talking with a friend earlier today; she was talking about Florida, and Jeff mentioned retiring to Delmarva. Although, I have read that it is beautiful and that the northern ranges and southern ranges of many natives overlap there, I cannot imagine leaving our home here--especially once it has transformed and matured.

The little Redbud needs training I guess. He is growing kind of sideways to the RT. in the pix, toward the sunshine, which is good...... [ probably because he is at the base/undershade of a big white oak]
![]() .........I do want him to lean, eventually after he gets some height, would make a nice shade of the mossy path there in the pix. ![]() Anyway, all his leaves got ate off with the first round of bugs this spring, but...he has new leaves again! wildone

![]() I put a fence around it to protect it from the deer. The lower branches were protected, but most of the leaves from the tallest shoot were eaten. I need a taller fence! ![]() ![]() Thank you again...it is a nice addition to my terrace path. (Natural terrace.)

Really? When I read up on them, they were considered rapid growers!

When the time comes to sell my current house, I plan on marketing it to the Ohio insect crowd first.

Also, with more people becoming aware of natives, the monarch's plight, the idea of permaculture, etc...i am hoping there is a market for our properties. Even native plant nurseries may want them as a supply of natives seeds.

That is my fear as well. Especially since we are in the city and surrounded by "lawn farmers". I fear that when/if we move, my natives will be tilled under and replaced with the turf grass I have been trying so hard to get rid of.
