@afewbugs@social.coop @Nickiquote@mstdn.social @Lilysea@aus.social Good luck (genuinely) with convincing people - the hum of mowers *in the middle of a heatwave, and when the carists won't stop bitching about the price of fuel* is driving me slightly batty. The work I've put in previously to convince neighbours not to decimate the nature strips all the time seems to be insufficient or at least extremely temporary. I wonder about their cop-on, when the bloody grass dries out and goes yellow within a day - yet they persist.

@afewbugs@social.coop @Nickiquote@mstdn.social @Lilysea@aus.social We have a carefully-managed wild garden (which isn't as much of a contradiction as it sounds - we're trying to create habitats for all the insects, pollinators and other critters around here!), and don't make much of a distinction between "weeds" and other plants. Sadly, our accidentally cross-pollinated poppies - which were white with strains of red bleeding though them, so they looked pink from a distance - haven't appeared this year.
