I have to share something neat with y'all lol. ...so Im in the garden moving plants around, when I hear this "emergency" sounding bird chirping. I stop what I'm doing to see if I can figure out what's going on and hone in one where the sound is coming from.

Just look at what I found, brown-headed cowgirl fledgling demanding food from a chipping sparrow. Cowbirds don't make their own nests for their babies. They actually find nests of other bird species and deposit an egg in each one, usually pushing out an egg, so they can put their own in. Smart for survival really. On the downside, it hatches earlier, grows larger, meaning the other chicks that hatch later could get pushed out of the nest or undernourished.

Just the way nature works. Also note that cowbirds are native birds and federally protected.

It's a beautiful day here watching these bumblers frolicking amongst the monarda fistulosa. 🤗

The mole tunneling through your lawn isn't eating your grass. She's eating what's eating your grass.

Most people see the raised ridges and assume the mole is damaging roots. She's not — she's hunting. Moles are underground predators. Their diet is almost entirely grubs, earthworms, and beetle larvae. The grass roots she tunnels past are untouched.

The grubs she's finding are often Japanese beetle larvae — the same ones that hatch into the beetles that skeletonize roses, lindens, and grapevines every July. She's catching them underground before they ever reach the surface.

🌿 What the tunnels actually mean:

- Surface ridges in spring and fall — she's hunting in the upper soil layer where grubs are feeding on roots. The tunnels are her hunting routes, not damage
- Dirt mounds near deep tunnels — she's pushing soil up from her main corridors below. These are permanent highways she uses all season
- A yard with mole activity almost certainly has a grub population worth hunting. If you remove the mole, the grubs stay — and the beetle damage above ground gets worse

🌱 The trade-off most people don't consider:

- A flat lawn with no mole tunnels often means the grubs went uncontrolled — and the Japanese beetles that emerge in summer have no predator pressure from below
- Mole tunnels aerate compacted soil and improve drainage — the same benefits people pay for with a core aerator
- The raised ridges flatten with rain or a light pass of a lawn roller. The grub control she provides doesn't have a DIY equivalent

The tunnels are the hunting trail. The mess on the surface is the receipt for the pest control happening underneath.

The lawn looks a little rough. The roses in July will tell you it was worth it 🌱

Hey y'all!
A new sign-up will be posted shortly! ☺️ I'm working on it now and updating inventory.

We canceled the rest of the slots for today, as it's our youngest's birthday today, and we're currently at UC with our eldest for what we think is a sprain, but we're doing our due diligence, just in case, since he's injured his growth plates before.

Have a blessed day by y'all! ☺️

We have a VERY limited supply of Allegheny Monkeyflower

If you’ve never seen Mimulus ringens (Allegheny Monkeyflower) in person, it’s one of those native flowers that quietly steals the show. Soft lavender-purple blooms, little snapdragon-like faces, and absolutely adored by pollinators. 🐝💜

This moisture-loving native looks right at home near rain gardens, pond edges, low spots, or anywhere that stays a bit damp. It has such a delicate woodland-meets-meadow feel to it, but it’s surprisingly tough once established.

Honestly, this is one of those plants that native plant lovers spot from across the yard and immediately ask, “Wait… WHAT. IS. THAT???”

These won't last long, that's for sure.

Snag an appt. Slot here!
