While this is not an exciting photo, I have added it because it shows the section of the old field that was mowed, then rototilled about 6 weeks ago. We planted some yarrow, joe-pye weed and pearly-everlasting there behind this big growth of 'weeds'. However, what is really interesting, to me, is what has grown up after the rototilling. There is a wealth of vegetation here, both native and non-native. Evening primrose (native) is very common, as is amaranthus, lamb's quarters, and several types of mustards (all non-native). But there are many other species in here as well, What is most interesting is that the invasive dog-strangling vine (cynanchum rossicum) is almost absent in this section, apart from the odd seedling here and there, which I remove. I am leaving the rest because it is better to have this mix than to have the dog-strangling vine grow back. Many of these are annuals, some are biennials, others are perennial plants. It will be fascinating to see what grows back next year. One interesting observation: this area was attracting a lot of bees and other nectar seeking insects.
