Re: READER PHOTOS! Karen's garden in Illinois

Love the pictures. They remind me of my own gardens here in southwest Michigan. But I am wondering if the tall silvery green plant in the foreground of the first picture is the same stuff I had/have in my own gardens. The stuff spreads and chokes out everything in its path. It can be pretty as a small clump, as in your photo, but for me, it has spread out of control.
