Just moved here in June - but the previous occupant must have had an eye for nitrogen fixing, what a huge favour they did by planting a nice mix. Here are the seeds I've collected so far:

field mustard, wool grass, goldenrod, black eyed susan, green bulrush, purple leaved willow herb, St. John Wort, various fleabanes, boneset, various clovers, curly dock, peppermint, burdock, Evening Primrose, Frosted Hawthorne berries, rye wheat, self heal, Devil's beggarticks, Indian Tobacco, & foxglove beardtongue.  

But I do need to get some aster, ryegrass, milkweed, chicory,

I see an opportunity to transplant some bugleweed of the burgundy variety.

I discovered a few invasives and undesireables - loosestrife, parsnip and some beautiful Norway Maples :<

A good place to begin.
 
What I don't understand is how they changed the earth's orbit to fit the metric calendar. Tiny ad:
