When we build our house I didn't have the budget for landscaping, so I decided to just let whatever native plant wanted to come in to claim to soil. I've been very pleased with my whole lawn begining nothing but clover ❤️ When people visit they advise me that I need to do something about it. I don't get it. Why put in work to make something grow there that doesn't want to and fight off a wonderful little plant that has volunteered to fill the niche?
Bonus: I love the carpet of white puffball flowers they make and all the bees and butterflies it attacts. Better to let nature do as it will than fight against it ❤️
