The comeback…

I was very excited to find this fern in our little mini woods.  When we moved to this property in 2008 we decided to go with a chemical free yard.  Our yard had been heavy sprayed and pretty much had that golf course look.  It has been a slow comeback to a more natural yard but we have been rewarded with a diverse and interesting yard.  Both plants, animals and insects have been slow to return.   Our 2014 yard has yield some beautiful native plants and animals.  I think you will enjoy this year’s comebacks.
