Sanicula marilandica "Maryland Black Snake Root". Native flower just seeded itself in our woodland garden. Indigenous people used it as a laxative, emetic, and menstrual cramps. I don't have those needs but nice just in case #nativeplants #maryland #gardening #Baltimore

Columbine (Aquilegia) growing rampant. Last year I shook out the seed heads to let it cover this area of the bed. It's growing like a weed now! Last year it went dormant mid summer cause of the heat. Latin named for eagle from talon-like petals. #gardening #native #Baltimore

Our little patch of native dwarf crested iris (iris crestata) is in bloom. We dont seem to get any of the purple ones but they're pretty while they last. #nativeplants #gardening #baltimore

Polemonium 'Golden feathers' or Jacob's ladder. Living its best life in our woodland garden. North American native and deer resistant. #gardening #nativeplants #Baltimore #zone7

I don't stay mowing until May to give the pollinators a chance to enjoy the spring flowers. May not be the standard monoculture lawn but we like the natural meadow look better. #lawncare #spring #gardening

Cat-bitch will only come out if there are birds, it's warm, and I'm there. She's been locked out too many times and doesn't trust it anymore :D #cats #Baltimore

Finally! Hellebores in full bloom. Late for zone 7A and my area but these are only a year old. #gardening #Baltimore #spring

Dave found his favorite friend, the eastern worm snake. Don't worry, the snake is fine. I set him loose in the woods across the street where he slithered into the duff. These little guys just eat earth worms and bugs, and have a super tiny territory. #cats #snakes #Baltimore #wildlife

60F for a quick walk through the woods and the snow drops are out! #gardening #Baltimore #spring

Trained him to come in with a whistle. Doesn't hurt that it's 25F outside. #cats #Baltimore

It's always a gamble when you're in a borderline hardiness zone, but even so, you could argue we were a bit ambitious with this guy. It did survive 2 years but the latest cold snap and ice did it in. Lace leaf mahonia (Mahonia Eubracteata) RIP. #nativeplants #gardening #zone7
