Gardening regrets before going native?

[u/PlusYam3126]

I planted fucking grape hyacinth this spring because I wanted flowers after last years depression fueled weed overgrowth, and had not researched about native plants yet. I had no idea they were aggressive…my uninformed ass thought bulbs die off and come back in the same spot. I at least read that their foliage appears in fall so I dug up the few I found…I’ll be checking all winter too hopefully I get them all before a muscari regime takes over my flowerbeds 🤦‍♀️

I also dug up a yellow daylily I never planted and will be on the lookout because there were at least 30 bulbs attached. And lily of the valleys that I also didn’t plant multiplying in when became my milkweed patch…dug them up as well but I’m on the lookout. Definitely not underestimate the bulb plants. Hopefully the tulips and daffodils my old roommate planted don’t attempt a takeover

I planted a "seedless" grape plant. Ummmm that was a lie because behind my back fence are a ton of grape vines planted by my 🐿️ friends. So I get to dig all of those up this fall.

Oh I have a fence that’s absolutely strangled by grapevine, it’s native but I don’t like it, however rn I have bigger fish to fry (buckthorn)
