I've been pleasantly surprised that by leaving Bidens Alba to flower, multitudes of honey-making bees have been so very kind in the garden.
No aggression whatsoever.

@lunarbandanas.bsky.social"whipper-snippered" π
I recently set aside my #Ryobi mower
(I'm still waiting for my replacement battery π)
and bought a manual push mower.
I love it!
And now,
I see myself as
a whipper-snipperer! ππΌ
@lunarbandanas.bsky.socialI made an train of cardboard boxes in my backyard this month. So fun to see it grow in length.
Now I have a path!
And the train moved into a new area I want to clear.

@lunarbandanas.bsky.socialI am picturing this as part of my garden quest...
a place to contemplate with a frog...
@lunarbandanas.bsky.socialImagine if 90-99% of the monarch population had been eliminated*.
Wouldn't we want to help the few survivors rebuild?
*It has been.
@lunarbandanas.bsky.socialAh! π
Then winter becomes Feed*.
Spring turns to Bud.
Summer to Shade.
