Still gathering a nice harvest from the #garden 🌱 with no plans for fall planting as I need to build new garden structures. But I’m a bit sad about that now that Autumn is almost upon us. Winter sowing more native plants should help satisfy my greenish thumb 😀

One pink zinnia Two native sunflowers. The flowers are much smaller than the iconic large cultivars but they too are pollinator magnets. A patch of black eye susans

A few #flowers in my gardens this evening. Appreciating nature hoping the kinder part of humanity blooms brighter than our dark side spreads. ✌🏼🌱 #NativePlants

Seen on a walk at Allerton Park. Is it a native butter weed? A ragwort of some type? 🤷‍♀️ What do you think? #nativeplants #flower #forest 🌱
Tall plant with small yellow flower clusters against a sea of green forest. Cluster of small yellow flowers on a tall stem fills most of the frame. Shot in a forest, the flowers are surrounded by various green foliage.

Is this why the Realtors keep mailing fliers to vote against a property tax? I had no idea until I read your article. The flier seems grossly misleading.
Political flier urging voters to vote no on a proposed property tax.
