Some friendly Bluesky people suggested peat-free seed starting mixes last season, but the products weren’t available here. It looks like there are more options this month. Please suggest products or maybe recipes for cutting dependence on #peat. Thanks! 🎃 I need better seedlings next Spring.

Always the paw thing

New Little Opossum just arrived in the yard and strolled right up a tree otter-style😄

The bottlebrush buckeye has a spreading shrub habit - it is a favorite of butterflies, Eastern tiger swallowtail in this case #Invert 🌿

I'll bet they could sell a paint job like this.

I have someone in mind that I hope this reaches.

The west gets all the little red and purple ones! No, seriously, all Penstemon is awesome.

Mission #1: churn out as fast as possible ecologically rich landscapes that restore biodiversity and beauty to the places people live and work. Replace turf with diverse, native plant communities is essential to reversing the biodiversity crisis and building a more resilient future! #nativeplants

Rendering of this design depicting late July. This design will also have a peak in late spring with 5 different Allium creating an effect. Having some grass matrix was also important to us here. Native grasses should be the backbone of any open canopy planting, holding the fall and winter.

Restoring our #planet is not up for debate! It’s time we, the #people of this amazing planet, stick the finger to #warmongers, #oligarchs, #autocrats, failing governments and everyone who lacks the #vision to choose life and thriving over profit and destruction. We can come together! #photography

It's deciduous conifer season at least :)

Can you smell it? Come in. Plant #nativeplants so wildlife can continue to share this amazing place with us.

Project w/ family. I'm not messing around when it comes to fairy gardens 💙

OMFG do I

Today, Trump's DOI opened the entire 1.56 million acres of the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas leasing. But the administration's agenda for the Arctic doesn't end here. It aims to maximize drilling across the entire region.

Persimmons. 🌎 #ecoregion65 #nativeplants

Tithonia and Salvia annuals will bloom til frost. Cool mornings. Warm afternoons. Sulphur & Skipper butterflies fluttering about. Native bees and wasps enjoying their version of pumpkin spice and everything nice! #bloomscrolling

Some of the butterflies in the cosmos this afternoon. Gulf Fritillary, Monarchs, and Pipevine Swallowtail. #butterflies #gardening 🦋 🌱 #lepidoptera

Not exactly sure what's happening here. It looks like this burl is supporting a tree directly alongside the main tree. Or, distorting the shape of the main trunk? Sorry, I don't have a pics from the other side. Curious!

Pic from August 30th after this planting roasted in the heat and drought for months.

Senescence of the perennials leaves behind seed head points of black, grey and tan, the colors of winter.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

YES ...Please also #1 is remove the invasive plants and then plant those native to the particular ecoregion

I'm here tonight to remind you that it's awesome planting season out there right now. Not all plants, use your judgement. Perennials: only focus on things that either grow actively in the cool season, or don't go totally dormant. Seeds: yes, Woodies: go for it. Watch for voles. Alligator River, NC

yes!

THIS IS 100% AWESOME! Please read this, and plant them all! You will make many things happy including yourself. Let's do this, who can plant all of Erin's suggestions? Does anyone already have all of these? You win, plant more :))
