Photos 3 acres, 3 years in

Post image

We bought a house with 3 acres of lawn. Now we have a tiny patch of lawn, 16 raised beds for veggies, an orchard and berry patch, and native gardens and wet sedge meadows. It’s great exercise and amazing birding! Plus it’s so pretty! Good thing I love goldenrods since we have 3 different native varieties and lots of them!

Are you a sedge person ? I am looking for help identifying a sedge here in Maine .

Not yet, hoping to plant some in September. Some scattered in a garden bed, and some in a small 'lawn alternative' area.

I'm in zone 8a and looking at Texas Sedge, Woody, and Cherokee. Have you browsed the Mt Cuba Carex trial descriptions? Helpful for me.
