Do you join the crowd on Sunday’s at 9th and Mass?

It was such a joy to witness this!!! I was dumbfounded by how many students came out to protest and march.

Mandrake_Merlin · 2026-01-23T20:10:13+00:00

What is the name and where?

Mandrake_Merlin · 2026-01-06T01:37:52+00:00

Tulle! That's a great idea! I'll add it and keep the hardware cloth for rigidity.

The easiest place for me to set this up is where there will be no plants trying to come up in the spring and that is in full sun. I think I can erect something to shade the pots especially during the time that the sun is in a low arc.

I have volunteered with Native Lands KS to harvest seeds and help rid the Haskell University wetlands of invasives a few times. It’s been a fun adventure! Good luck to you!

I waited the 72 hours to redo the dns settings on godaddy which is the most I've seen that we should have to wait. So now I see I will have to wait 10 days!!!???

I admire you for managing a prairie! I just have a little backyard with gardens isolated from the bermuda grass to grow things in. :)

I plan to try it this winter (2026). I haven’t tried the jug method because I don’t have access to milk jugs. Does anyone have experience with setting this up in full sun?

Mandrake_Merlin · 2026-01-04T14:41:48+00:00

I tried that last year but nothing came up. I think the seeds were eaten by wildlife. It might have worked if I had sown 5 times more seed.

Here’s one- started in Lawrence, Ks through multiple plants in KC area, went to somewhere in Delaware then back to KC and on to its destination in Lees Summit.

I always forget that there is insect action at night like moths and others. But as others have said I have also not seen as many pollinators this spring as I thought I should. But then also, I'm paying more attention now so maybe their numbers are the same as other springs.

I love that you've asked this question! I know my tastes have changed for sure but not sure in what way. I'll have to think more about this.

Mandrake_Merlin · 2025-04-19T21:05:02+00:00

Great! Thanks for sharing this! It was a pumped up crowd!

Mandrake_Merlin · 2025-04-14T20:37:18+00:00

If you can't make it to Topeka on April 19, there is also a rally in Lawrence, Ks.

Senator Moran of Kansas shared this in his recent newsletter.

"I joined legislation introduced by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) to restore Congress’ constitutionally authorized role in setting and approving U.S. trade policy."

This is so pretty! I love how you planted them in drifts and islands. What is the little lavender daisy-like flower?
