I just love these cute flowers I got a late start on my Sugar Peas, and snow peas but they’re both producing now I didn’t realize there were #MagnoliaPeas seeds in the mix. Fun surprise 😊 #SmallGardener #GrowYourOwnFood #sugarsnappeas #gardening 🌱 #cuteflowers #bloomscrolling

A few of the new blooms today in my backyard I don’t know the variety of Iris, it was gifted to me, and was originally planted in the 1950’s! The second is a #CAnative Bush Anemone, one of my most gorgeous of plants #naturelover #MondayFlowers #gardening #gardenSky 🌱 #bloomscrolling

She’s been here all morning, & found one of my Pipevine- their sole host plant I wonder if this is one that I raised and released, coming back to lay her eggs where she herself began last spring as an egg on the underside of a leaf #pipevine #butterfly #insectthursday #gardensky #CaNativePlants

A stalk of my Ca White Sage was on the ground. we’ve had high winds this week! At first I thought I’d make a bunch of smudges, but now looking at it I think it’s an appropriate amount of sage for a Mother bundle for the shitty times we are facing. #gardening #CaNativePlants #WhiteSage #gardenSky

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Saving a bee 🐝💛 Found this one on the ground, and gave it a damp cotton ball to rehydrate. It flew away after 30 minutes #InsectThursday #bees #SaveOurPollinators #pollinatorgardens #gardening 🌱 #gardenSky #insectSky

Some species went undetected, others cut by half. They're like the proverbial canaries signalling loss due to pesticides, climate change, and habitat loss that affects the entire insect world and thus the food web, soil makers, nutrient converters and pollinators. 🌎🌿🌱 apnews.com/article/butt...

Not my president I will never refer to him as our president I will never speak his name I will do my best to speak out against fascism, but I’ll only use this emoji in reference to this horrible human 🤡 He’s a dangerous clown #FuckThatClown #RiseandSlay #resist #fuckfascism #wewontgoback

#garden #growfood So much lettuce to harvest. I let some Oakleaf lettuce and arugula go to flower I love arugula flowers! I let them go to seed to feed the birds- now they’re feeding bees! I got a late start planting my sugar peas so they’re just starting to flower I left cilantro for coriander
