Built a little #nativebee apartment, all the holes are fractional to keep those metric European bees out lol

Just made of scraps I had laying around. There is a hole in the bottom of the post that just sits on a piece of rebar driven in the ground. I can turn it for better shade protection too #nativeplants #killyourlawn #GrowNative

@sundogplanets the dandelions are trying to repair the soil. Aerating and pulling up nutrients with their long taproot. Your soil is probably calcium deficient. It’s not a native, but not sure why it gets a bad rap otherwise. Lawn propaganda #killyourlawn

Sick of maintaining your lawn? Transform it into a native garden

Many of us are looking to create a native garden as a lower maintenance, more sustainable and often cheaper alternative.

Two different color blooms on the same pad! Grown from a pad off a #cactus I had in Arizona that I #proplifted 15 years ago. Seems to be doing ok in a Mediterranean climate Miscellaneous #opuntia should get a lot of fruit this year #CactusBloom #cracktus #bees #killyourlawn

I'm preparing a house to sell. A few years ago I killed the St. Augustine lawn with a grass-selective herbicide and let a variety of native species appear. It's been interesting. The soil is so rich and dark and soft, I'm half tempted to dig it up and sell it.

What a full weekend. Thank goodness for work tomorrow, in some respects – it was a really great couple of days but I badly need some recharge quiet time!

Yesterday was the Green Fair on the Square and I picked up my free plants, huzzah! Bumped into a friend, which was lovely. I also rode a bike to make a smoothie for Kid3 and then Dad and I went to a talk by a local elder about resilience and sustainability from an Indigenous perspective. That was super interesting and fascinating and I would have loved to stay and chat with her for hours.

The rest of the day was errands and busyness. Today was a bit the same but with extra gardening (which was, of course, great). I planted the free plants and also the poor kangaroo paws that I believe have been waiting in their pots since last year 😬 Had to get quite aggressive with the trowel to break up some of the roots... hopefully they cope in the ground OK.
