Hi Everyone, I’m looking to connect more with the land that I live on, does anyone have advice for vegetables and other edible plants I can grow in my garden?

Fort Worth native, in Texas just fyi. We had the most beautiful blue bonnets ALL over the place. The county has mowed them all down, they said they want better curb appeal for when everyone comes to town for FIFA.
Can I be like arrested for helping the flowers let’s say, reappear?! My homie wants to know

Edit to say that blue bonnets are the state flower and it’s illegal to cut them down. So since they were cut down by the state I fear my freedom here ! Lol

I just discovered this group.
I've been quietly planting trees in public spaces for years (Quebec, Canada.)
Our local municipality found out... and has been supportive of me planting more.
Phew.

I campaigned the municipality to reduce their mowing in some strips and around trees. Their lawn maintenance crews were damaging trees. I'd like to start planting seeds and plants in the no-mow zones to make them more meadow-y and attractive with low maintenance.
Last night I planted some sunflower seeds in one area.

Seed bombs?
Curious... what has been your experience?

First timer here. Was given these as blue bonnets and was told to just gently place them on the ground and walk away.

Hi, I have been researching two questions and have received mixed results for both, so I thought I’d ask reddit.

For context, I am located in eastern canada and I am looking to give away seeds in the form of seed bombs at an upcoming community event.

First question, are sunflower seeds able to be used to make seed bombs? Or should I write a little flyer so that people are mindful of how they plant them? Since they aren’t as versatile as a lot of other flowers. Second question, been finding mixed results if sunflowers are native to my region (eastern canada), does anyone know the answer?

It is possible to buy huge amounts of milkweed seed, and where? Whatever is needed for Oregon.

Hi everyone! I’m starting a long-term restoration project in a rururban (rural-urban fringe) area in Southeast Mexico. Since our neighborhood is often overlooked by local authorities, the ecosystem here has suffered from neglect. My goal is to reclaim the view and the biodiversity right in front of my house.

The Site: An overlooked lagoon front. It’s technically Federal Land (regulated by the National Water Commission - CONAGUA), but currently, it’s a mix of "neglected land" and native potential. The good news: the soil is still rich, fertile black earth (tierra negra), which is a goldmine for what I have planned.

The Project "War Council":

1. Maculí (Tabebuia rosea): I found a dry pod with 39 seeds. I’m currently running a split test: 20 seeds in a water soak and 19 using the "Baggy Method". My goal is to select the strongest 15 to plant as the main canopy. In a few years, these will turn the landscape into a pink cloud.
2. Sauce Criollo (Salix humboldtii): Being a lagoon front, I need to stabilize the banks. I'll be planting native willows right at the water’s edge to prevent erosion and create perching spots for local birds.
3. The "Winged" Guests: I’m reintroducing Milkweed (Asclepias) to support pollinators and planting specific fruiting species to bring back the Toucans and Parrots that used to be more common around here.

Current Status:

• Seeds are in the germination phase.
• I have about 10-15 "surplus" trees expected from my germination trial, which I plan to either sell to fund the project or donate to neighbors to extend this biological corridor.

Why I’m posting: I’m looking for advice on Guerrilla-planting in Federal Zones. Since it’s right in front of my house, I can monitor them daily, but I want to make the planting look "natural" so it doesn't attract the wrong kind of attention from inspectors, while still protecting the saplings from accidental "machete-clearing" by maintenance crews.

Has anyone here worked with Salix or Tabebuia in tropical guerrilla projects? Any tips on protecting seedlings in areas where "cleanup" crews might just see them as weeds?
