Prairie is starting to take off for the year. Flax is going now, a few other things are almost ready. #FrontYardPrairie #pollinators #wildflowers
The front yard prairie is getting more beautiful with every passing day. The yarrow and geranium are starting to flower, as does the green needle grass. Sage is growing like crazy. Lots of grasshoppers (not pictured). #nativeplants #FrontYardPrairie #wildflowers #Bloomscrolling
Today is the day: my front yard prairie will be snow free!
... so I'm researching when I may mow to get rid of last year's growth without killing off all of the pollinators.
Internet says: no mowing in Y3 of prairie establishment; do a controlled burn instead.
Man, are my neighbours gonna love me when I burn down my front yard. And my house. And their house.

A year and a day ago, I took out the front lawn and seeded it with native wildflowers and grasses. Best decision ever. #frontyardprairie #nativeplants #pollinators
