MarI didn't harvest all of the huckleberries and this squirrel is very happy about it.
Fair. I didn't let them eat the apples, I'm happy to share the berries.
Scopes’n BirdsThe Pollinator Partnership has published a series of guidebooks regarding native plants for most ecoregions in Canada. This is a great free resource for anyone interested in planting or encouraging local native species.
I have been using the Okanagan-Thompson Plateau guidebook for the past 3 years. Mid autumn is when I start to plan for more conversion of lawn to pollinator habitat and this document is a key reference in my decision making process.

While doing some fall maintenance in the yard I came across this item “glued” on to an irrigation stake. INaturalist has identified it as a Mantis egg sac. I am going to leave it insitu and follow through the winter and into the spring.

J blue10/ Apfel im Schlafrock… but American
I softened and mixed the vegan butter with Eastern red cedar and yuzucello then stuck back in the fridge to harden before stuffing in the apples.
I felt like I used a lot of juniper but the taste barely registered. EUsians - eastern red cedar is a sweet, mildly herbal juniper. It’s tasty out of hand. Not like the EU juniper.

Pollinators@scopes Yes. The milk jug method was successful for you. The germination success resulted in many native plants to plant. Offering that the word enthusiastic is more fun than the word obsessed. #nativeplants, #growyourown
