Midwest IA/IL. 53 year old Latina. Nature nerd. One acre mid-city. Certified wildlife habitat. Plant native plants to your area. Buy straight native plants online, garden stores are usually crap. I follow back with @sadderbutwisergirrl, this is a secondary account. On Tiktok, YouTube, and Instagram too.
ABOUT TIME!!! for those out of the loop homeowners’ associations in the US 1. suck horrendously in every way 2. were the beginning of the end of urban biodiversity
We were delighted to see gorgeous wood ducks (Aix sponsa) nest-shopping in our yard. It’s been about five years or so since we saw some here. #homegrownnationalpark #backyardbirds #woodduck #ducks #midwest #birdwatching #birdsofinstagram #swampduck
I have attention problems when I try to read books, but I’m able to listen to audiobooks. So I was only able to read the beginnings of these, but they seem great.
Grief has robbed me of my former ambition. I used to be overly enthusiastic about everything native plants. I barely got these seeds in milk jugs out this winter. It’s probably too late since it’s very warm now (50 degrees) and all my existing plants are starting to wake up already. * these plants need cold stratification to germinate*
