I know, I know, a basic post. But every time I see one of these chubby little fellers it makes my whole day. Look at him go!

Berks County, Pennsylvania. They rattle when shaken.

*deep breath* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and there’s nobody in the comments even telling them about all of the free natural medicinal benefits 🥺

Don’t worry it wasn’t bad, the poster is a native plant guy and can laugh along with us. Just thought it was funny to see you out in the wild. Smile for the camera

Xoxo ur fav gen z poster

Just bulbous and stinky

I think I mentioned before on here that I have a blueberry patch that the birds keep picking clean before I can get a SINGLE berry. There’s a blueberry I’m eyeballing that’s huge as hell (I put it on my thumbnail for ref in this photo). How do I assert dominance in this area of my property to let the birds know that while I technically did plant a shit ton of their native diet berries specifically for them I want them to leave these particular bushes alone?? I thought they would get the message with the fence — inside these walls I am the top dawg and the food belongs to me.

/uj fuck Cesar Milan, also the fence is just to keep the deer out of my food area. I like to share irl :)

Around this time last year the only thing we had listed in Merlin was a house sparrow (our neighbor unfortunately feeds them; there’s nothing we can do about this. We do not provide any manmade shelter or put out any feeders) but I love seeing our species list grow :) we also have kirtlands warblers deeper into the property that we absolutely adore and protect like crazy from the cowbirds. Native birdsong is my “why” and I love to be able to keep track of the progress with actual song clips

Got this as a bare root from heirloom and I’m really happy with it so far :)

Happy summer :) got a kiss from a mature butterfly before snapping this chunky little cat enjoying his breakfast!

I kept "pulling" what I thought was a weed for years. Finally I gave in & let it grow (before the Internet years). Then it bloomed one year & I recognized it as a rose of sharon. My husband doesn't want "big trees" planted near the house, so I decided to twist the branches around each other & keep it trimmed up. I once saw this done with a lilac before. I'll post more pics when it's in bloom.

HOLD STRONG LITTLE NATIVES I AM WEEDING WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS

(😭😭😭😭😭)

so charmed by her color and her scent :) excited to watch her grow!!

who are they collabing with on this one? sounds sick as hell

ignore what he’s sitting on (i know, i KNOW, i self flagellate daily in the town square for my disgusting sins, and if it makes you feel better I purposely only cultivate the hardest and most annoying tea varieties so it’s like a punishment in itself. also i do eat them in rose jam and actual tea.)

like i know they’re very important to our ecosystem, they’re in serious danger because of the honeybee and destruction of natural habitat etc. i get it!! but how are you going to fly straight into me and bonk yourself off of my head not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES?!?! i hype you up to my friends and you just embarrass me like this??? how the hell am i supposed to help a population thrive if they have the survival instincts of a potato?? get it together, bees.

happy chasing idiot deer out of your areas season to all those who celebrate, sending fortifying thoughts to all of your pest barriers 🫡
