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.

I do both freelance graphic design and historic window restoration on the side. I did them both before my current full time design job, and do them in my spare time. I'm lucky that my current job considers 32 hours full time, so I have Fridays to do side work.

I've been meaning to create a blooming calendar for my garden, your method might be the motivation I need

 

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.

She was barely tolerant of my bugging her for a closeup

 

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
