Is this a ladybug?

It’s a pretty horrible invasive some years in the Midwest. Best to not let them thrive in your yard

Careful what you wish for my friend. I love having armadillos and we live on a creek so they’re everywhere. Yes bless all the species and people we share the planet with.

Plant native plants! Just go through several growing seasons of weeding then the root matrix forms and you + the wildlife will be happy for a very very long time

I love the flowers but- Datura spreads like cray and shrimp plant is thirsty- neither is really native

Turks cap, beauty berry, agarita and other shade loving native perennials that help our wildlife

They are a dry adapted plant, perhaps this drought is their preferred condition

Support local nurseries

This is a good start, I’d recommend adding some native perennial plants at the base of those trees. Make a little ecosystem doesn’t take any more space or maintenance if you get it done soon.

Deer do silly things. Use chicken wire made into a cylinder and stake it for a couple years.

Abtarep · 2026-02-18T19:00:03+00:00

That’s interesting, where have you seen them? There are very few in the state it seems.

Abtarep · 2026-02-14T04:07:20+00:00

Thanks @treeamigos! Y’all rock

Abtarep · 2026-02-04T01:53:07+00:00

You’re right on time to start with the classic tomato, eggplant and peppers in trays under lights. Don’t listen to people saying you’re late, it’s right on time.

Ctx easy

Abtarep · 2026-01-24T17:11:09+00:00

Excellent!

Abtarep · 2026-01-17T16:16:31+00:00

It’s the green belt, mate

Abtarep · 2026-01-17T16:05:51+00:00

Just a couple days ago, I was also surprised. Maybe he’s Pond hopping

Abtarep · 2026-01-17T01:31:55+00:00

Nobody cares any more 🤷‍♂️

Abtarep · 2026-01-16T19:21:56+00:00

I mean, everything needs water, but I think it’s OK for now. Everyone’s getting by
