I didn't know wasps did either until I bought a plant for my garden that is primarily pollinated by wasps. They were as chill as any other pollinator, not at all what I expected.

How do y'all decide the balance between dead heading for more blooms or letting flowers go to seed for the benefit of local birds?

I have one of the few flower gardens on my block and the only native garden, so pretty much all of my flowers produce beneficial seeds and I want to support the birds, but it would also be nice to get more blooms.

Here in Detroit, Stellantis just asked for their factory to be allowed to pollute more, despite neighbors pushing back at how much they already pollute.

Are you publicly admitting to not filling out your Daily Ration and Nutrient Survey? I'd delete this

Everyone on here talking about theirs going away over time and I'm wondering if I'm supposed to go in for regular scraping as I get older

I'm in southeast Michigan, hardiness zone 6b, and I'd like to add a small or mid size evergreen to my yard for some winter interest, any suggestions?

I also have a large yew I'd like to replace with something comparable to maintain a little porch privacy, I'm thinking either a smoke bush or witch hazel, any others I should consider?

I've read about this exact thing, people with debilitating conditions who are offered state of the art tech to be implanted, but the company eventually folds and they stop maintaining or supporting it, so the people are left with a useless implant

We knew from the time Thomas Midgley put lead in gas it was toxic, but it was cheaper. He also introduced CFCs to the environment. Sherman Williams reported in 1904 that lead paint was bad, but it took until the 1970s for bans to start, but plenty of places still have no ban.
