1 year agoPart laziness and part love of nature. I hate watering, so anything that thrives in my garden has to be fine with weeks or months of neglect, so natives are the obvious solution. I also got tired of trying to keep exotic grass alive through drought conditions, so I started replacing my lawn with native groundcovers. Then I got into milkweed to save the monarchs and started looking into host plants for other native butterflies. It’s a source of joy to see my backyard alive with pollinators and all sorts of wildlife.
They’ve gone to shit since the Discovery merger. The only reason I still have Max is because I get it free through my ISP.
