I have 5 patches of oregano around my property and I always allow one or two to go to seed. They're excellent for bringing in bees and other pollinators of all shapes and sizes. Bonus points for being low maintenance and it spreads easily if you're looking for a border or ground cover plant.

Found a spot to sleep for the night

I have fond memories of chasing after lightning bugs during 4th of July barbecues as a kid. We'd put them in jars with screw on lids punctured with air holes so they'd survive the evening. Funny how I don't remember if they ever did. It's a joy every year to see them return to my area of central Delaware and I see they're right on time! Thought I'd share. 💜

Sometimes plants just *tell* you when they're done. This year I've noticed my romaine twirling in the same direction which must have a biological reason behind it. If you know, please share your knowledge. Or just enjoy my romaine twirling and dancing after a great harvest season. Looking forward to collecting the seeds for next year! Does your lettuce twirl before it bolts?

2nd zucchini down so far this year. Treating with DE when it doesn't rain. Luckily I have planted in other areas of my garden but still disappointing since it's the only plant fruiting right now. Please commiserate with me.

Hi all, my dog Bernie has been missing since the 4th. This is the first time he's ever disappeared. He's a 8lb caramel colored Chihuahua. He is super friendly but will run if chased (and 0% chance you will catch him). If you see him please report to animal control and/or DM me here.

He's been spotted twice near Cordrey Road and the Seventh Day Adventist church there. We have been laying out scented clothing, food, and staked out areas for hours. Any information is welcome.

Thank you very much.

I ordered a chipdrop and the first arborist charged me then never delivered. Refunding by Chipdrop was easy and I quickly placed another order. Two days later, a drop showed up. It wasn't dumped in the exact location I requested (with pictures), but for the $20 I spent I'm overjoyed. Nice mixture of pine, maple, magnolia, and cedar. I've found some already decomposing leaf litter in the pile as well. Really impressed with this service. Photos of my drop. My JackChi puppy, Molly, and the golf net set up in our yard for size reference. I have no idea how much I actually received but it's going to keep me busy for quite awhile.
