A fun thing to discover after coming home from work is that the landscaping guys threw away all of my milkweed stalks and not in the green waste bin that I could theoretically fish them out of. So. I guess I am back to square one on that

I didnt feel like writing a card for my mom's bday so instead I decorated the box that the chocolates I always get her come in☺️☺️
also. I can name all of the flowers/plants on here.
milkweed
lavender
sword ferns
jasmine
goldenrod
sunflowers
some random mushrooms in a plantain plant (plantains are actually really cool weeds that might grow in your yard. you can use them to soothe bug bites!)
violets
snapdragons
bleeding hearts
aloe
clover(like the little flowers)
virginia bluebells
and honeysuckle!!
and then there's also little bumblebees that I drew to fill up the empty spaces

Got back out into the yard today. Graded the area near the wall a bit and rearranged the pots. Pulled up more trash left by the construction crew and I'm sure I'll find more; they apparently tried to bury a lot of things over here. Next up is pulling up more grass, lining a path from the gate into the yard, and sowing the native wildflower seeds that I got yesterday.

@your-not-invisible-to-me wanted to see the finished yard/yard of the dragon lair and I'm happy to show it off!
There are now ALL native plants planted which will grow in over the course of the next two years and fill the yard! There's also thyme planted in the pathway, which will grow to fill in between the painted bricks like grass (and it will be PINK!). Baby Nessie has a pond to swim in with Croki nearby, Baby Sue has a corner with tall grass, and Nigel the reading dragon is taking up his bench!
And here's a closeup of some of the bricks, all of which were painted by my mom - some from online designs and some just out of her own thoughts like the cat brick with all our cats! Over time, the plantings of thyme (har har) will fill in the dirt as groundcover, leaving a magical pathway of small pink flowers and colored bricks. 😊

Minegishi "I hate plants they are only tools" you liar. No one hates plants and then chooses carnivorous plants, arguably the coolest plant species, as their main plant of use with their powers.
And if you really hated plants, you wouldn't become a florist the moment you need a new job.
