I have fought to keep from coughing all weekend. Going to see someone's gardens in the country -- how troublesome can that be? Pretty bad when smoke from a fire drifted through. As i looked at the hostas, my brow furrowed. On inquiry, it's their two free ranging Great Danes that protect their hostas (and two shaggy donkeys). So, if i was willing to really ward off deer AND have lots of nonnatives, including invasives -- hostas! helebores galore traveling off down the slope! A pond filled with yellow flag! Italian arum! -- yes, i too could have a lush shade planting pretty quickly.
I did find out about https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/phacelia-bipinnatifida/ and wonder how well it would fight stilt grass. It's lovely even if it doesn't....
The NY Times alerted me to the hard rocking trio of Muslim women VOB https://www.voiceofbaceprot.com/ which reminded me to go check the hard rocking trio of Mexican sisters, The Warning, and find i've missed one album and a new one is on it's way.

Dramatic sigh.
(Searching while a bunch of plants sit on the deck wondering when i will put them in the ground.)

The other is locally native, is a biennial, and "reseeds easily". That sound like it's sort of easy to get a colony going.
I suspect https://www.toadshade.com/Phacelia-bipinnatifida.html might have seed this fall.

it's pretty either way

Allergies suck.
Your garden is like a sonnet: a making within stricter rules than many follow. Part of what it is, is a statement about and a making of the world.

I don't think a hosta would survive a week here unless i was to hide it under something else deer don't eat.
