pepper23, I have a question on skullcap, which one to you have? Which is native and is it aggressive?
Hi tabasco, welcome.

Equil, returning to the moist garden idea I wonder what you can suggest if the soil is more in the neutral 6.5 range naturally (I think watering the area makes it more neutral) but I amended the soil with lots of peat and compost to bring it into the more acid range. The blueberries are growing well. I am not sure I can maintain a very acid soil without continual addition to the soil. What do you think I should do? I have a strip in the center of the driveway that had been dug up to lay pipes and it is very low fertility and acidic. It is happily growing moss. Maybe I should take some of that soil and moss. Growing in the moss is a very fine delicate grass that I've been pulling out for months now. It looks a lot like the pictures of Carex appalachia. Does anyone grow this sedge ?

Here's a picture of the front mostly native garden along the street.
