I truly love the honey-berries for their flavor & early season crop. I think they taste like a mix of blueberries, blackberries & clover, and I ate a lot of clover as a kid, weeding the grass via hula-hoop. We had some NICE grass, NO roundup involved.
But - the berries - one of their best qualities, are early pollinator support. I love seeing the first Bumbles crawl out & be so happy for something fresh.
I popped in unannounced to the park yesterday; because, the sunshine was just too nice & I didn't want ya'll to forget over winter, I will be there - and before Farmers Market starts, to make sure we all have more locally grown native perennial options. Because who doesn't love a plant that just gets bigger & helps everything living above & around it - and also - the ground underneath it as it roots deep. : )
Why perennials? This:
Oh & I had and will be bringing next time:
~ * Free - May Day / Belated in Honor of: Native Pink / Yellow Columbine, long as they last. Most just starting to set flowers
~ some smaller but going into 3rd year $8 Liatris Alba (sometimes known as white gayfeather / white blazing star)
~ and then an assortment of #1 to 1 Gal: Garden Phlox, Yarrow, Sneezeweed, Allium, Sedum & Bee Balm for $12 - $16. There's one larger yarrow $12 because it's a color suprise... I may have lost a tag... But only until it blooms : )
