I don't have experience with it, but you could try bluing.

I'm so sorry.

I had everyone's foxy childhood crush on mine.

I think it's swords you're supposed to throw into lakes. Perhaps you can trade.

I enjoy the Mako but the Hammerhead is my archnemesis.

Yeah, I'm good. 👍

They're hoping for a repeat of the 1928 Lake Okeechobee hurricane.

I just came across this article the other day. It's for Chicago, so idk if any of these species will be native for you, but it's got good info on pots and soil, and maybe you can find something similar for your new area. wildones.org/native-plant...

If it helps, a lot of native plants, ones that don't have a taproot, will do just fine being moved, even over and over again. It's work, but it takes experience growing a plant to maturity to figure out where it's going to look and grow well.

Consider renting a sod cutter. A manual one is cheap but incredibly hard work. Gas-powered one is more expensive, but it's easier than digging up grass with a shovel and much faster than killing your grass by smothering it.

Happy Birthday!

If you want to do further comparison, there was an episode of American Experience several years ago.

#flowerreport is a thing, but you should start #pollinatorreport and get people talking about what's buzzing. For me it's the borage^ and very last blooms of the baptisia*.

illinoiswildflowers.info is great for Illinois. I also check the range maps on prairiemoon.com. If you want something that will return a result for non-natives, too, there's missouribotanicalgarden.org

I think I have a hori hori knife buried in a raised bed, but I can't find it.
