Today was a perfect early fall day, cool, sunny, breezy, and dry. I couldn’t wait to plant the rest of my native flowers, and string up the new light strings in the sukkah and garden. I planted purple coneflower, passion flower vine, Bush’s poppy mallow, and prairie smoke. I went ahead and cleared the rest of the side rock garden and other areas to make appropriate spaces. If even any of all the above come up next year, it will be gorgeous, and attract even more beneficial pollinators and critters. One more reason to not die!
