We killed the lawn off last summer to replace it with a lower patio and a
meadow. Of course, we've not actually planted the meadow yet so the ground
there is dirt with whatever pops up. And what has popped up amazes me.
We're adding in a lawn (eventually), but only because my parents want
one for grandkids to play and I don't have room in the front garden.
Still, what i've noticed after pulling up the annual grasses last
year, is that it allowed these small, very short gray leaved
asteraceous plants to get a hold. I'm not sue what they are, but I'll
get a photo soon. I was noticing in areas that weedy grass seed didn't
manage to get a foothold, that they are there, and in quite large
numbers.
Even when the spot was still untouched there used to be what I think
might have been Aster ascendens (I'm not sure, and we don't have them
anymore). But I found it funny that of all of the non-annual plants,
that this one plant had managed to make it among the grasses. Usually
Baccharis manages to get in early.
