Scopes’n BirdsLast week I downloaded a digital copy of “Prairie Up” by Benjamin Vogt. Although his references are plants in the US mid west and the Canadian prairies the concepts of planning and design for prairie landscapes still apply in my area. A good read with lots of ideas and great photographic examples. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/wildflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildflowers</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rewilding</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/nativeplants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nativeplants</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollinators</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/butterflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#butterflies</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WinterSowing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WinterSowing</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/zone6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zone6</a>

Scopes’n Birds<a href="https://spore.social/@rewildingmag" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rewildingmag</a> we are in a semi rural setting. I am more concerned about our towns industrial cutter mowing down our roadside wildflowers than the neighbours. I started converting lawn to pollinator garden in 2022. The first year is exciting to see what survives and what flowers from your plantings.

Scopes’n BirdsTwo weeks ago our green lawn was still visible. Then the snow arrived and arrived again. In addition our thermometer dropped to -27C last week.

plantyDeep freeze coming tomorrow night! We've been abnormally dry, so trying to water what most needs water (mostly baby fruit trees planted this year) without hurting the well. We haven't had a frost here yet so the plants aren't going to like the quick drop down to 23F. The sweet potatoes were once again a bust this year or I was sloppy harvesting, gotta remember to plant them with more phosphorus. Yesterday, did manage to plant a few dozen daffodils for fruit trees vole protection, and almost finished planting all the native perennials I grew from seed. I have officially planted enough things that I will allow myself to buy more plants!! <a href="https://sunbeam.city/tags/gardenupdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardenupdate</a> <a href="https://sunbeam.city/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://sunbeam.city/tags/zone6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zone6</a>
