very disconcerting seeing him without a huge grin on his face. feels uncowboyish. uncowboy valley

ugh yeah weed removal is a nonstop battle. our site has so many years of accumulated invasive seeds that we’ve been sheet mulching before planting, which requires gradually tackling areas in sections

Yarrow is another good one that comes back every year and blooms in June/July. Ours are just starting to fade now. Make sure you get the native achillea millefolium and not one of the non-native yarrow variants (PNW native yarrow blooms are white, non-native variants can be yellow and pink)

Northwest Meadowscapes Native Seed native grass and wildflower seed for pollinator conservation, rain gardens, meadows, and wildlife habitat in Oregon and Washington.

Yes! We get most of our native seeds from Satinflower. Another source I like is northwestmeadowscapes.com

Common Woolly Sunflowers Eriophyllum lanatum. Also known as Oregon Sunshine. This native Common Woolly Sunflower perennial is not a real sunflower, but blooms from May to August.

wooly sunflower has similar yellow blooms in June and early July: www.westcoastseeds.com/products/com...

Yeah it supposedly prefers wet soil but it’s been flourishing on our dry, south-facing slopes that get almost no water in the summer

Erythranthe guttata (Yellow Monkey-flower) Perennial wildflower with very large bilaterally symmetrical tubular yellow flowers that have red spots. Prefers moist to wet areas (seepage sites) in full sun. Plant Details habitat Meadows and wetla...

This is the monkeyflower that has done well in our meadow (dry soil and full sun in summer): satinflower.ca/collections/...

Sea blush, monkeyflower, and chickweed were all in bloom for us in June

hell yeah

forbidden food + bonus drugs that will zoot him out of his mind, what a total cat victory

it’s been absolutely incredible watching his daily progress, both in terms of the physical wounds healing so remarkably well + him getting visibly more relaxed and comfortable in every pic ❤️

look how well his nose scratches have healed!!!

As your constituent, thank you for voting no on cloture, and for all your work on the clean CR. Thank you for not caving in.

Ah yeah yarrow can go crazy in the right conditions. I’ve grown lavender from seed several times and they don’t seem to spread once planted (in my climate, anyway) and the pollinators love them. Plus they stay green all winter and require very little care and watering.

I’ve read that you want to avoid combining raspberries and strawberries because they’re subject to the same soil-based diseases. I do combine strawberries and blueberries and that has worked well so far

Maybe some lavender and/or yarrow to attract pollinators and beneficial insects? A bit late in the season now but I like planting garlic with raspberries, and then I do cover crops (usually a mix of clovers) in the summer/fall

and now we wait

I’d be happy to submit your resume as an internal referral for an open client success role at the tech company I work for. It’s fully remote, good culture, good benefits. DM me if you’d be interested! I think we have IRL mutual friends if that helps lol

I’m so sorry to hear this. I could refer you to an open customer service role (fully remote) at the tech company where I work if you’d be interested. Feel free to DM, and I’m so sorry you’re going through so much awful shit at once.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I can’t wait to see the dumb fluffy babies you bring home in the future. You will give them such a wonderful life, just like you did with Austin.

I’m very grateful that @murray.senate.gov has been doing somewhat better. I hope @cantwell.senate.gov will step up and follow Senator Murray’s lead.

@cantwell.senate.gov I am your constituent on Whidbey Island. I urgently ask that you join Senator Wyden on the finance committee to stop this active coup. Elon Musk is a national security emergency. You and your colleagues in the senate must act immediately to protect the treasury.

short story where I make some dumbfuck comment on a menswearguy post and he somehow reveals that I am 40 years older than I previously thought and was directly involved in the 1953 Iran Coup and I looked like shit while doing it

I am your voting constituent (Island County). I ask that you immediately launch an investigation into the role Elon Musk played in harming the FAA through his unlawful actions, directly contributing to this horrific loss of life. bsky.app/profile/goli...

Of course! Native gardening is fantastic - hope you enjoy it!

I like seedtime.us for veggie garden planning, and www.reddit.com/r/NativePlan... is a great resource for native plant gardening

Native plants almost never need watering if you plant them the right time of year (usually fall, or winter for some seeds). And a lot of plants will attract beneficial insects that eat the pest insects, so a mix of flowers is good!

What sort of tasks are you looking for the app to help you with? The nice thing about native plants is they generally don’t need much care or maintenance, especially if you plant them during a rainy season. Forgetting them usually isn’t a problem!

hey do you remember what i was asking you about yesterday?

“oh, you mean last year?”
