Ashes and DustYour annual reminder that many seed packages of "wildflowers" are not, in fact, wildflowers. Of the species included in these ones there's maybe 2 that are native to this area (and those 2 are domesticated varieties).I'm convinced seed companies sweep up whatever spills on the factory floor and call it a wildflower mix.Please support your local suppliers of actual wildflowers native to your area.

These insects are not selflessly doing a favor to the flowers. The insects are enticed to do the job with a reward of food. The food is usually nectar (sugar and water) and pollen (protein).How to Establish a Butterfly or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PollinatorGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PollinatorGarden</a>"Sunny Location"Locate your garden where it receives the greatest amount of sun exposure possible. Insects such as butterflies and pollinators are cold-blooded and depend on the sun to warm their bodies. Also, the plants on which butterflies and pollinators depend generally grow better in full sun (six or more hours of sunshine per day)."Nectar and Pollen Sources"Different species of butterflies and pollinating insects are active at different times of the year. Therefore it is important to provide pollen and nectar sources throughout the growing season and offer various flower shapes and sizes. Plant in groups—not rows— to increase the likelihood of butterflies and pollinators finding and choosing your garden for a feeding stop."Web page: <a href="https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/resource/gardening-butterflies-and-pollinators" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/resource/gardening-butterflies-and-pollinators</a>Link to PDF: <a href="https://store.extension.iastate.edu/Product/5736" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://store.extension.iastate.edu/Product/5736</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningForPollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GardeningForPollinators</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningForBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GardeningForBees</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a>

DoomsdaysCWNovice <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gardener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardener</a> reveals 'stunning' one-year transformation: 'For a first timer that's excellent'Story by Simon Sage, February 7, 2025"A novice gardener showed off their progress over at r/#GardeningUK, and the results were quite inspiring."'I took the two sycamores down (still need to get the trunks out) as they took 70% of the sunlight as can be seen in the first picture and are way too large for this sized garden. The remaining apple tree is much healthier already and I will replace the two trunks with an appropriate sized tree once the trunks are down and a new back fence installed. … I can't believe how much <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> has come into the garden and there's a constant low hum from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> when it's not raining…""It might seem a little sad to cut down a big tree, but the added access to sunlight seems to have benefited the rest of the garden. Sometimes it's possible to make up for this monopoly on sunlight with strategic thinning instead of completely removing a tree."The original poster had only been working on this yard for a year, and it's their first time gardening.

Despite their importance to food systems, pollinators are under constant threat. They need whatever help we can provide.
