Our natives get stressed in the urban heat so we daisy-chained two sprinklers controlled by a Rachio hose timer. A summertime weekly soaks helps. It’s still thousands of gallons less than keeping a lawn! And the pollinators stay happy with native flowers all summer. #Yarden #NativeGarden

Got my 45 minutes of yard work done. Already 84°F at 08:20 🥵. It’ll be above 100 today in no time. Anyway, here’s some tomato plants for you and a White Lined Sphinx moth caterpillar on our California fuchsias #NativeGarden #Yarden #Garden

Sam HarrisonThis is my style of native gardening. I call it "Chaos gardening" although I think it's more proper to call it no-dig gardening.
When we first moved in, 6 years ago in August, I started this garden with a fresh patch of clay soil. It was used as a tomato garden that they lined with plastic to kill the weeds. After years of getting cut down by deer and groundhogs and uninformed lawn care people, I've finally found a rhythm. I've been allowing the garden to fill in and I weed sparingly around the plants. I weed enough to let in sunlight but not enough to draw unwanted attention.
Below are some examples of plants that had been eaten to hell last year (and some this year) but continue to grow in spite of it.
Does anyone else garden like this?

Our cultivated native California grapes have a bumper crop this year. The house Northern Mockingbird pair will be very pleased this fall. And there should be enough for us to make a delightful syrup that goes well with vanilla ice cream #NativeGarden #Grapes
