I let milkweed take over my front planting bed and I’m ecstatic
We do that too for the monarchs
Garden full of monarchs now?
Yeah.
Plus my racist neighbors with their chemlawn are pissed
I am 99% certain that our house is the only one in the neighborhood that doesn't use chemlawn. Springtime is dandelion season and its great. Now the clover is in full effect. I love that the bees and bunnies are going to chow town. Gonna hit the back yard next spring with the microclover. I'd love to get the point of a monthly mow. I hate grass and mowers. If I could let it go full meadow I totally would. Mainly because I know it pisses off all the old buzzards who have nothing to do beyond sweep their driveway 3 times a day.
We only mowed our back yard once a year for the past few years, and the fireflys are back in huge numbers this year. Our HOA is one of the most laid-back so we only have to mow the front like once a month.
