  1. Update on my longterm backyard soil remediation project & trying to replace lawn with alternative groundcover/edible & medicinal plants/wildflowers. This is part of the patch that I did cardboard/seaweed/leaf mulching on last year. It now has mixed #clovers & #DeadNettles & #chickweed. These will all attract more pollinators, when they flower too 🐝🦋

    I've got #Chicory, #Dandelion, & #Poke #Potted in #Buckets in a #Kitchen #Corner.

    I've got #Watercress stretching out of a #Pot standing in #Freshwater.

    I've got #Chickweed going to #Seed - three months early - on the #Windowsill.
