Goldenrod is on the go in the warm false spring weather. It is terribly lovely at the wrong time.
Terrific, way to go!
What a great idea! Also you live in a cool town which is relaxed about curbside planting. We have height restrictions but you are inspiring me to think…. Maybe lettuces/greens, beets, herbs, ground cherries?
