My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Mountain mint

13 years ago

Anybody have experience collecting seed and growing it in the garden? I found a wild patch of Pycnanthemum muticum at my town park, and although I wouldn't ever dig and move wild plants, I think it would be OK to collect some seed.

I also saw Asclepias syriaca in bloom everywhere, but no Monarch cats. However I did finally see an adult for the first time this year. Halleluja!
