Spring 2025:

Year 4 of our conversion of lawn to pollinator garden. In January 22 X 4L milk jugs were prepared for winter sowing. Al but one with North American native species primarily perrenials. Another 500 sq ft of lawn will be converted. This will bring us to approximately 3,200 sq ft of conversion over 4 years.

@scopes Congratulations on the progress. It appears you are enjoying the native plants and insects. It is a nature observatory right outside. #pollinators, #nativeplants

@Pollinators yes I have had a lot of fun. My spouse says I am obsessed. I have only 15 milk jugs planned for this winter.

@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
