I don't have a picture of when this Triangle garden was grass. It is surrounded by sidewalk and road.
It was the place where the snowplow pushed all the snow and dug up the grass.

The first picture is the first year I started it, May 2006.
The second picture is from June 2011.

I don't do much for this garden ... kids ride their bikes over it, cars park on it (even my husband sometimes, lol), snowplow still pushes the snow there.
I have blood sedum, acre sedum, Neon Pink sedum, Obedient plant, Lollipop lily, daffodils, Stella De Oro Daylily planted. The Rudbeckia was planted the first year and reseeds itself each year even though the area it has to reseed is less and less. Last year I added walker's low salvia.
Letting the wild Milkweed stay was a HUGE mistake, I have about 10 plants now .... I have to kill them or they will take over.
