I'll take your knowledge on that.Our hedge has thickened up over the sixteen years, but I've not had any of it seeding around the garden which is amazing considering the tomato-sized hips.<BR/><BR/>We are of like mind, Petunia. My garden is to encourage the wildlife to come and visit me...to sing to me, buzz around or croak...A wildlife gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261817184002496844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-89782811504678741482007-03-08T03:03:00.000+00:002007-03-08T03:03:00.000+00:00So glad you visited me!

We already had trees and lots of attractions but I can see some ideas you're sharing that will be wonderful to add. I had so much fun photographing the bees, bugs, frogs and insects visiting my garden. See my Aug 23 & July 18 postings or the critter label. <BR/><BR/>I also have to explain (or should I bother?) that I let some of the thistle (a non native pest) bloom because of the bees & the birds that use the down. (but I do discourage it from taking over).Petunia's Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02294826235747207917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-44268698542143686062007-03-08T00:57:00.000+00:002007-03-08T00:57:00.000+00:00Iowa Gardening Woman, correct me if I'm wrong, but...Iowa Gardening Woman, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe what you (Our little Corner of Paradise) are describing are considered invasive weeds in my part of the world. A "shrub" rose that has huge thorns, beautiful flowers and spreads like crazy. I planted this by my house in Moingona and it took over. (Zone 4) It certainly worked as a hedge that kept critters out though.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202463147917151854noreply@blogger.com
