Yes, I've tended to do a lot of 'experimenting' with different types of plants--one of this, one of that, see how they do, see how I like them, and so on. I like the diversity, and diverse gardens are more resilient if a certain type of bug or disease takes hold of one species. But at the same time, I need to create more 'stands' of certain types of plants to draw the pollinators in, so as they fly by they look down and say, 'mmm, what's that I see? looks yummy' and then they fly into my yard where I can enjoy them! Hilarious!

'having a garden where all the creatures that need to be there can flourish'--love it! Thumbs up
