I'm ripping apart one flower bed that is covered with 2 ground covers. The lamium is easy to rip out and throw in the compost. But now i am face to face with Allegheny pachysandra. I have it in another bed, where it has slowly colonized, but it has suburbanized this shady bed.I thought that Allegheny pachysandra would be good because it is native to the North American continent. But it's still pachysandra!
Now is the time to remember my long-term goal: once i know a wildflower can survive, i can dare to transplant the colony into the woods. I have a long-term construction project with the Allegheny pachysandra. There's enough that I can landscape most of my woodland trails with it.
Now is the time to remember my long-term spiritual goal. Landscape my life with kindness, mindfulness, and patience.
