Lacy #phacelia aka #purple#tansy is native to NW Mexico & SW USA - it's in the borage family. I've been using them as part of #pollinators#garden & as a natural aphids #PestControl for food plants. This pretty flowering #plant attracts hoverflies & those insects love eating aphids. When it's done flowering - you can cut it down & use cuttings as #GreenManure.
@toridas_ Maybe post, with relevant hashtags to ask for pest control native plants advice - there's many gardeners & most really love to help out fellow gardeners! Worth a shot 😊
@MarkRDavid If you have a small greenhouse or can make some cold frames - you can also grow salad greens year round, almost anywhere. I have Indigenous friends in the far North(Northern BC & Yukon) who have found some ways to grow more vegetables, in difficult environments.
