    We had tons of these along creeks in western NY when I was a kid. We called them poppies, because they popped when you touch the seed pod. I remember that they bloomed all summer.

    I loved "touch me nots" when I was a kid. When I pinched the ripe seed pod it would burst and the seeds would fly high in the air. My sibs and I would fuss for a chance to touch the next pod. No me!

    When I was a kid, I used to love the seeds of jewelweed. We used to call them "googoo gacka geekers", for reasons I cannot now fathom.
    I honestly don't have a favorite genre of music. There is just no way to choose. Lately I have been listening to a lot of bluegrass and related genres because there is a great local radio station where I live and that's what they play. WDVX.

We even saw a white moth, but didn't know to look any closer.

    The deer in my area will eat ANYTHING! They've browsed on my forsythia! They munched the heads off all my Queen Anne's Lace! I've spend 4 years getting them to where they are this summer and in one night they turned it into an all you can eat buffet of the heads. Trees are totaled to the height of deer on their hind legs. I need to put up a 12 foot wall LOL
    I have the perfect area for them too with lots of that garlic, some poison ivy and tons of mosquitoes lol I'd just have to fence that area off, and while it's "my yard" that I legally have to care for (and pay taxes on), it's town property so i can't build on it....sigh.....
    I grew up with the Bergen Swamp as my backyard so we had a lot of these, I loved being able to show my son these when he was little and his joy of popping the seeds!

    Jewelweed has shown up and tried to take over my garden bed but I love it and so do the hummingbirds, so I leave a lot of it. It’s an aggressive seeder…I find it everywhere! I have an area where I’m trying to stamp out invasive stiltgrass, and was wondering if I could try transplanting jewelweed once I get rid of the stiltgrass (we have garlic mustard too). There are some that the deer cut back so they’re shorter and easier to deal with. I figure if it can establish and go to seed, maybe it would help get things under control.

    • @BackyardEcology
      @BackyardEcology  5 місяців тому +1

      I would give it a try. Stiltgrass can take a lot of shade so the jewelweed may not suppress it, but it's worth a shot.

    Unfortunately, Jewel Weed didn’t work out for me. I bought a start at a local nursery thinking that I would let it make seeds and then next year I would harvest the seeds, but deer came and ate the head off of it. It’s still clinging to life now, but barely so it definitely won’t be making any seed this year. And since it’s gonna die at the end of the year, I would’ve been better off finding a source of just seeds and then planning a bunch of seeds. I would try that next year if I knew where to get the seeds.

    • @BackyardEcology
      @BackyardEcology  5 місяців тому +1

      Don't give up hope yet! Jewelweed can form cleistogamous flowers - small flowers that never open and self pollinate. This is a fail safe for them when conditions are rough or they get browsed off. You still may get some seed production even without the cool looking flowers.

    Pollinator gardens should be primarily native plants. Non-native plants do not support the full life cycle of our native insects, the larvae can't eat them, most notable example of this is Butterfly Bush, provides nectar, but is not a larval host for any native butterflies. Also, native plants are better support for birds and other creatrues. Non-native berry or fruit plants may not provide the nutrition birds need, for example, if the Fall fruit is higher in sugars and not fats as most of our native plants are, they don't provide the long flight energy needed for migration support.
