Just put my Suburban flower garden in. Colorado and the rest of the western states are facing water crisis's in the near future. I love them but we need all those lush lawns to convert. Have a safe and relaxing Memorial Day Weekend.
I love your garden and I"m so happy you're taking a break....this is the kind of balance that will have you and your wisdom with us for a long time to come! Blessings,
Beautiful garden! Thrilled you planted natives. I love the combination of Lanceleaf Coreopsis with Blanket Flower (Gaillardia). We have only native plants on our property in the mountains of Tennessee. I saw your post earlier, but we were traveling 2 hours to an excellent native plant nursery where we bought 22 more plants. Tomorrow will be doing what I love the most: gardening.
Listened to an article in via NPR (https://www.npr.org/2023/05/28/1178452256/biden-north-carolina-2024 ) and put it together with some of the things Simon has given us. Makes me think that North Carolina GOTV for young people and Black people, would be a good place to concentrate my energies. If anyone knows of a good postcarding effort with this target (GO TV in North Carolina, focused on the black and youth vote) I would appreciate hearing about it. Our powerful Indivisible Evanston, my usual go-to for focused, well thought out activism activities, is taking a much needed break, but I am chomping at the bit to do something.
Thank you for planting this garden. What a gift to your neighbors and passersby.
It is an important gift to the birds, butterflies, moths, bees and beetles, too. Native insects need native plants.
What a beautiful garden!

Lovely garden, Simon. I am so grateful for Hopium Chronicles.

Joan, Beverly Falls/ NC activist from HH perhaps could help.
From Tending to a Garden to Tending to Democracy, Thank you, Simon. I participate in both. Let’s all enjoy a few days off. ❤️🤍💙
