It’s time to plant saffron crocus bulbs! 🌸 This little autumn-blooming flower has one of the longest and richest histories in the world β€” prized for its deep golden-red threads, it was cultivated in ancient Greece, traded across the Mediterranean, and even mentioned in Homer’s epics. #fall #diy

An image is split in two. In the bottom left of the first image a bright blue ring appears, slightly fading in all directions, with a small blue dot in the middle. Red and orange waves of gas ripple, arcing from top left to top right. A light blue center appears out of the sea of red, and several bright white dots shine through. In the top right, dark blue gas emanates from the blackness of space.

Exploring rocky saltwater coastlines, you'll likely find examples of salt weathering. When salt water seeps into pores/cracks, it may evaporate and deposit salt crystals within them. Growth and expansion of the crystals may weaken and break the rock apart to form cavities such as those shown here!

Advantages and disadvantages of rubber shake roofing materials Here are the benefits and disadvantages of rubber shake roofing materials.

Do you know the difference between a shingle and a shake? 🏠Historically, cedar shakes covered roofs across North America. Today, asphalt is common, but durable options like metal and recycled rubber offer sustainable alternatives! #histsci #sustainability #bluesky

A large, glowing full moon rising above the horizon at dusk. In the foreground, a lone buck with antlers stands in tall summer grass, with its silhouette against the moon. The sky is a deep blue heading into the night, ready for a peaceful and timeless summer night in nature. May your night be beautiful.

Propagating Red Mulberry Trees From Hardwood Cuttings β€” Steemit I acquired some Red Mulberry (Morus rubra) branches from a pruning the other day which I am using to try to start some… by sagescrub

Try taking a 6–8" healthy stem cutting, remove lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone (optional - can be found in most garden stores), and plant in moist soil. Keep humid and out of harsh sun. In a few weeks, roots should form and start a new #mulberry!

And a guide here:

🌱 Did you know red mulberries have deep American roots? Historically planted across the US for shade, fruit, and beauty, they're perfect for July propagation! Just take cuttings, root them, and grow a piece of history in your backyard. #Mulberries #GardeningTips #SustainableLiving #GrowYourOwn 🌳

Tall yellow native sunroots reaching toward a partly cloudy sky, symbolizing growth, hope, and a bright future.

With everything going on, let’s remember that we have the power to share not only sustainable practices but an enduring and sustainable community with friends and neighbors. Let this 4th of July remind us that independence means using our freedom to make our lives and nation better together. πŸŒ»πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’š

Thank you all for your support as we get started! πŸ₯³

And happy July!🌾DYK? Summer evenings often meant β€œporch time” neighbors gathering to cool off, swap stories, and listen to nature’s music. Modern AC started to change this, but we can still find #summer moments to connect within our #communities 🌩

Sometimes they’re just hard to spot or have found a better nearby area to nest! Fireflies love low-light environments, but streetlights / light pollution can disrupt their mating signals (their glow!). They lay eggs in moist soil om mid-summer, so even holding off on mowing for a few weeks can help.

It’s absolutely true! Spraying has increased over the last few decades. But the good news is, fireflies (and pollinators, birds, etc.) can bounce back surprisingly fast if we just give them a chance.

Even small actions like leaving a patch of wildflowers or mowing less often makes a difference! 🌿

🌱 As June ends, fireflies glow brightly across the USA, historically symbolizing guidance, hope, and wonder.

Help protect these little backyard lights by keeping yards dark, limiting pesticide use on lawns, and let them sustain their magic for future generations! ✨
