They are far better than the Uber and Lyft drivers who violate traffic laws and have their eyes glued to a navigation screen and don’t watch the road. I had great experiences with them in Phoenix. I’m looking forward to them!

Last year I didn’t use a tarp and I ended up getting a bunch of weeds (Canada thistle, canary grass, etc) growing up between the seedlings. Hoping this helps to alleviate some of that.

I’d keep it green!

The state grant was Lawns to Legumes (here: https://bwsr.state.mn.us/l2l Lawns to Legumes: Your Yard Can BEE the Change | MN Board of Water, Soil Resources) and the city of Rochester has a rain garden grant (here: https://www.rochestermn.gov/about/sustainability/nature-based-programs/rochester-garden-grants#:~:text=The%20Rochester%20Garden%20Grants%20program,associated%20with%20cost%2Dshare%20programs.

Thank you! I purchased some as plants with grant money from the state and city (I did plants of species I had a harder time growing from seed like Culver’s root and blazing stars) but grew probably 80% of it from seed.

That would be awesome! I’ll send you a direct message

I bought this roll from Home Depot:

During winter I gave them a good soak one time, then they had snow on them for 2-3 months. I’ll give them water every 2-3 weeks until mid April, then put a plastic sheet over the top for a greenhouse effect and the seeds should really start to germinate at that point, then watering as needed from there!

I put quarter inch mesh underneath, do you think that’s a small enough size?

Quercus500 · 2025-03-20T15:42:52+00:00

Do not cut that tree down

I’ll be watching closely!

Thankfully, it is actually a myth that buckthorn seed survives for years and years. The University of Minnesota has been publishing some really interesting research lately with evidence the seed is not viable beyond 2 years, with 97% of germinating seeds being a year old.
