We have our first no dig beds ready and waiting. Next week I think it will be warm enough.<br/>I bought a pile of native plant seeds, and i am today refining where they will all go. We had a blank slate yard last year, and did some basic planting. Now we&#39;re adjusting and filling in with more natives for the birds, bees, and beauty.<br/>We could use some rain!<br/><br/>#gardening #nativeplants 2026-05-10T00:39:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp9c6ldqwwmpe02d3exaj77wlhtmh9exharg5umkas4992sppz68szyrnwquuh27adm2ypkqsqk3fhec2zmuhrtr8p02ummf3g5xv8l06lym8hu9q Excellent things going on in the garden. <br/>Since we planted some sticks with roots that are supposed to be columnar apples, we are thrilled leaves and flowers starting! The grapes we planted last year should have roots, but the doggone bunny chewed on one of them over winter. Glad they have leaves starting! And I forgot the daffs I bought last year included some mini daff bulbs. They bloomed when we had 2 80 degree days. Hope everything will be OK tomorrow night near freezing.<br/>#gardening #blooms<br/> <img src="https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/116/354/393/838/586/483/original/f1049e080719c3c9.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/116/354/395/137/205/651/original/e71c27b9fd20efc1.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/116/354/396/202/691/506/original/078d73cc440becd2.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/116/354/398/431/400/985/original/3466d1fd3c00c8b3.jpg"> <br/> 2026-04-05T22:16:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy80xnuuzpaztukeaat62uu0hvqvqhmjmuwm6xgq20tgy37ux8muczyrnwquuh27adm2ypkqsqk3fhec2zmuhrtr8p02ummf3g5xv8l06lynv5v59 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs20e0ajvp0vjgwfaxgzlflegv3npxhx33ll638e7s490nwjgndyjszlymup'>nevent1q…ymup</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Our HOA forbids them.<br/>Of course, you can work around such nonsense, but it takes some effort.<br/>It&#39;s ridiculous that Americans will put solar on the roof, drive hybrid or electric cars, but fully reject clotheslines. 2026-03-15T14:38:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvlnjwwvc3268gakrgu38l7ssegcpt0ql9pcesqvlhnnq0s8emjsczyrnwquuh27adm2ypkqsqk3fhec2zmuhrtr8p02ummf3g5xv8l06ly8nz0uf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdeulpzesju4x6nfqky36nz88kpjshfxszn59wt3wg379nmjrx52q87qvgd'>nevent1q…qvgd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I started some seeds last week.
