Advice from the Owner

I love how wild it looks! The bees and butterflies love it, and today we had a hummingbird checking it out! I wish that I had spaced some of the plants a little further apart - they sort of exploded. So some of them are big and really close together, and I have patches where others didn't make it and I'll need to replant.
