Two Book Reflections

You think your lawn is a space, but to pollinators it is the equivalent of pavement.  We have some natives as well as annuals in our yard. The bumble bees and butterflies love our hyssop. Later they will be all over the asters.

In an 18 inch row along our driveway we cast wild flowers. Yesterday the bumble bees loved the corn flower and the sunflower.

So if you want these sort of visitors, put in something besides lawn, stones, juniper and non natives. 

We have added clover to our lawn, and don’t use herbicides. Sadly the creeping charley takes advantage of that.

I practice creeping a charley picking meditation when there is shade. 

To the bees!
