During spring planting there is a lot of old plants and debris from the previous year.  Some of this debris collects in piles and I let whatever plant can survive in that pile grow.  This clump I cheated and seeded it with wildflowers but am happy to see them grow.  I have been watering these clumps more this year than in past.  More on clumps later.
