The other natives I speak of, I only just learned the names of thanks to Jules' daily walk photo journal. We have the wild tobacco plants that become trees and the buckwheat that I trim and water into pretty green bushes. Here are some buckwheat bushes I have trimmed. Notice one of those seed trees taking over the hose bib on the right. It was higher than the house and was trimmed down with Round Up soaked into the fresh stump - to no avail. There are 3 more going deeper into the photo. The closest is one we moved, the next one back started at the bottom of a 3 ft deep trench and was covered up when the hole was filled, and yet... And the one furthest back was moved, but did not make it. Would make a great bottle tree, huh? Except for the wind.

That's our biggest dog, Tipper, she is 8 years old.
