  1. Awesome they are sprouting. It is short sleeve wether today in NJ but cloudy and some drizzling 🎃Happy Halloween I love dogs. They’re beautiful ❤

  2. It's going to be beautiful when everything is blooming! Out of all the natives that are currently blooming in my yard, the Calico aster is the favorite of the native bees. They are all over it! Definitely planting more in Spring.

  3. Don't let others force you to feel guilty about your gas mower. Your flowerbeds and trees and shrubs completely offset your use of a gas mower on your grass paths. You do you!
    I am 57yo with Fibromyalgia. My walking gas mower is my exercise and I couldn't push a manual mower up and down our steep hillside property.

    I can't wait to see your Bee Lawn blooming!!
