Modern agriculture: Spray, till, repeat. Nature: Cover, integrate, cycle. One of these systems has lasted for millennia, the other is collapsing in real time. Choose wisely. #perennialfarming

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it.

So we moved over to blue sky.

You know what's so much better than lawns? Native wildflowers and grasses.

As we begin the celebration of Black History Month, I am thinking of those who stood up, spoke out, and took action when they saw injustices in the world – people like my friend, John Lewis. Carrying that spirit and their legacy with me this month and always.

You ever wanna run away in the wildflowers and just, like, not come back?
(I'm extra proud of this patch; ripped out lawn to replace it with a pollinator garden 2 years ago and it's been going strong)

Start that new hobby you've been wanting to try even though you know nothing about it. Be bad at it. Stumble through it. Don't do it to be great, do it for your own joy.

I have to do some indoor gardening in the winter to stay sane. My latest obsession is hand-pollinating all the blossoms on my lemon tree.

Fun fact: Meyer Lemons are a cross between a true lemon and a mandarin orange

Seymour is scruffy which means every time he falls asleep, he gets a new hairstyle. I don't make the rules.
