Growing in zone 4, what would you replace Buck Thorn with? I was thinking Prickly Ash and ferns.

LOL!

Make sure you add Giant Hog Weed and also Wild Parsnip to your collection! ;)

Hog weed is showing up here in Zone 5 in the ditches and the Wild Parsnip will be right behind it.

Evil, EVIL plants!

Sometimes I total wonder at God’s creations. I mean, REALLY? We NEED snakes? We NEED Mosquitoes? NEEDED Hog Weed, Stinging Nettle and Wild Parsnip? And Grasshoppers? Ugh!

Why are you testing me, God? ;)
