When it comes to pollinator gardening the native perennials get most of the attention. However, there are many native annuals that make a great addition to the pollinator garden. The common jewelweed, Impatiens capensis, and pale jewelweed, Impatiens pallida, are two eye-catching native annual species that have super showy blooms that attract a wide variety of bees, butterflies, and the beloved ruby throated hummingbird. The jewelweeds grow well in wetter shaded areas and also self-seed, so they do not have to be replanted every year.

    Creeping Myrtle & Charlie are also invasive (my opinion). Hard to kill. We might have the porcelain one or something similar to it. That looks really close to Grape vines. Their "seed" is kind of a small version of a purple grape, but don't taste good when they appear to be ripe. They die off every year, but grow back from roots & get spread from seeds. I'm over in the west.

      Even in areas that receive snow birds still respond to plantings that provide cover, seeds, and fruits. There are many fruits, such as holly berries, that aren't attractive to birds until late winter. Water is also still sought out by birds in the winter and if you can provide it (may require a heated source) they will come to it.

    A week or two ago, my friend and I noticed wisteria had crept into the woods behind the yard while we were battling the bamboo back there. At first we sighed and said, "Let them fight". Then we noticed a bunch of it had taken over the neighbours' chicken coop. So when I caught the guy out building a [frankly ugly and impractical] retaining wall in his front yard (who *leaves* the iron form mesh on the *outside* of the stones???), we thought to be neighbourly and warned him about it. "We liked the look of it, he said. He must've seen my face, so he added, "I know it's invasive." Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm certain none of you would convict me had I strangled this man then and there, as surely as those vines will strangle the trees. **His retaining wall would still be ugly even if he wasn't so unutterably stupid.

    I’ve seen northern catalpas keep up in height with cottonwoods. They can grow super tall and skinny in a forested setting. Something else I never hear mentioned is that the flowers fall off the trees all at once and produce a strong rancid smell as they decompose. The smell is bad enough that people walking by wonder what that foul smell is. I have six of the southern type planted up north that I bought online not too long ago. They have different shaped leaves and are more attractive. They have three or four lobes that look like short curly horns. The edge is not entire like the northern ones.

    • @BackyardEcology
      @BackyardEcology 6 годин тому

      Most trees will grow tall and straight when grown in a forested setting as they race to reach the sun. Flower fall can be a problem in some locations. Southern catalpa normally has regular catalpa heart shaped leaves, occasionally tri-lobed, but for the most part a pure southern catalpa will have mostly heart shaped leaves. There is a hybrid between southern catalpa and the Chinese catalpa that is marketed under a variety of names, usually something along the lines red or purple leaved catalpa - although the mature leaves are green. This hybrid has triple lobed leaves.

    Wild Jewel Weed is the most incredible remedy for poison ivy. Take whole plants and submerge in a large pot of water. Boil down until the water is reduced to half. Remove residue and use liquid as wash over area poison ivy has been in contact with. We have seen repeatedly the astonishing effectiveness of this ranging from preventing blisters to healing weeping uncontrollably itching blisters within two applications. The liquid will mold very quickly so to keep it it must be frozen. We put it in ice cube trays so the cubes can be thawed and used as needed. Touch-me-not generally grows on the trail near poison ivy. If you crush the stem and rub it over the area contaminated it will prevent blistering completely. Hope this will provide much need relief to anyone who has an unfortunate encounter.

    FYI. Jewel weed can become very invasive if not constantly monitored. It will completely take over an ornamental flower bed once established.

    • @BackyardEcology

      1) A native plant can not be invasive in its native range - the proper term is aggressive. There is a standard term for what an invasive species is for a reason. 2) I absolutely say in the video at 5:56 that it can be aggressive in certain conditions. Unless the conditions are very conductive to jewel weed it isn't going to spread everywhere - full sun and dry soil stops it.

    In under 2 minutes, you did a good job of pointing out how to tell them apart, without just saying touch the plant in a way that will make it obvious very quickly which it is based on whether you itch or not. Plus, you point out some other things about them the combination of plants that not everyone knows. The only thing I would change is in the last comparison image, since the prior two images put poison ivy on the left and box elder on the right, and the last image swapped their places, which could lead people to remember things incorrectly. Consistency can help. But it's nice to see videos that are under 2 minutes, rather than 10+ minutes to say enough for people to benefit from it, and without being so short that you have to talk really fast to get it under a minute or half minute like some people do for other platforms.
