We started stratifying and scarifying seeds last month. More today. #nativeplants #habitatgardening

I need to show off this tree that you cannot tell I just planted two seconds ago as I did it flawlessly without disturbing or removing any of the pre-existing native flora making up the groundcover. #nativeplants #habitatgardening

I must be really crushing it with my forest clearing garden lately — a meadow fritillary was visiting today. These are less of a generalist yard butterfly and are more specialists of wet meadows. Uncommon in MA, I’d never actually seen one before. #habitatgardening #bugsky 🦋
