Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey


New Frostweeds Doing VERY Well!

Just over a month ago I planted two Frostweeds (Verbesina virginica) that were dug out of a friend’s garden. They both took the transplant well, and have grown a lot in just a short time.

The smaller Frostweed was placed in the new shade garden on the north side of the house. It has grown several new large leaves already. The first photo is from the time of planting; the second photo is recent.


The larger Frostweed is near the pond and has its own “dead hedge” sun screen. This one is already about twice the height of when it was planted and is preparing to bloom! The first photo is from the time of planting; the second photo is recent.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
