We don't mow our 6 acres. We just mow the path we use for a driveway & narrow pathways here & there where we often walk & directly around the house. We will mow the rest come the end of September so we can harvest the pecans. I see lots of pollinators out there in the non mowed areas; not nearly as many butterflies or Italian honeybees as last year but lots of other pollinators. I am making a list now for my seed order this year. I will also be sowing crimson clover in the pecan orchard - it's a nitrogen fixer so when it dies off, it will feed the pecan trees. Win - Win!

Plants? heck, I'm going to spend a fortune in wildflower seeds this year. Hilarious!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
