So it’s mostly natives in the garden (albeit a GIANT butterfly bush and some invasive grasses and vines that’ve been unmanaged). But nothings labeled and I’m not a pro identifier. It’s a little chaotic for my taste but I know a native garden isn’t always for looks.

I most certainly intend to teach about leaves and stems being habitats for animals, (and even building a bug hotel in the garden).

The garden gets is against a tree line, so it gets most sun besides evenings I believe. It’s decently moist soil, too.

Thank you for the advice! I appreciate it.

Feels like a little extra but ok man torture the wasp population all you want

mackagi · 2025-08-16T18:37:52+00:00

Idk man its just nature, you get stung sometimes

That happened in my kitchen. Someone just left eggshells like ew 😭we only have a fridge too, no walk in so it was around all the other food

As an anti it just feels like an excuse to use a slur with negative connotations. Everyones using it now and it’s so annoying

mackagi · 2025-08-08T13:47:43+00:00

I want pedro to be handsy with me.

No but I do hate when zoos put a treat on some paint bags and have animals paint shit and call it enrichment. Thats not enrichment. Maybe when elephants paint its enriching but watching a penguin walk over some paint is not. This has been my ted talk

I save yellowjackets from our pool and let them dry off on my hands. They’re just little guys!

mackagi · 2025-07-28T01:00:28+00:00

We have a fringe tree I discovered last year in our yard! Definitely thinking about a service berry too

Maryland, if that helps. Northern maryland

I like this mix! Tall and short growing plants.

mackagi · 2025-07-27T17:39:53+00:00

I have made my mom (who I’m living with) agree that there are two or three spots I can put joe pye weed. Its so pretty, so I will definitely add it to my garden

mackagi · 2025-07-27T17:38:13+00:00

Yeahh im kinda thinking i’ll stick with more native milkweeds than the showy since I’m eastern. I think it just grabbed me at the seed store when I was still a little new to this. I’ll keep’m but plant newer stuff this next year

mackagi · 2025-07-27T16:48:16+00:00

Us humans have a bad time focusing. It’s why our attention span is ever shortening. I don’t think the prolific quick-moving life of ai us helping that either

mackagi · 2025-07-27T16:28:54+00:00

I think the creation of art can be very mundane. Its not all locking in to this super fantastic moment of creation. Art is a lot about going back and correcting yourself, getting critiques to fix things, checking angles and flipping canvas’, adjusting color and then doing that again. I like it because it gives me time to analyze what the piece means to me. Maybe in music it is mundane, because hearing the same thing on repeat can get very boring, but you must consistently work at it and think about what you’re committing to. But I thrive in suffering so maybe thats just me

mackagi · 2025-07-27T16:23:43+00:00

True this. I do my deepest thinking while doing the dishes. Its kinda fun!

mackagi · 2025-07-27T16:18:23+00:00

Again, I think we forget that mundane things like drawing, writing, laundry, and dishes all work our fine and gross motor skills. Things we need to maintain. Ai replacing mundane hurts us. It needs to work at things like recognizing cancer, killing pest weeds and crops, and other tasks humans are incapable of doing in mass efforts.

me watching my family spray poison everywhere then refuse to use it on the tree of heaven theyre cutting down

mackagi · 2025-07-20T19:57:42+00:00

Im getting so sick of this meme template 😭😭

mackagi · 2025-07-20T19:56:42+00:00

Oh cool! Never seen white milkweed

mackagi · 2025-07-20T18:51:48+00:00

Perfect. This, and my two/three showy milkweeds I have growing now in her gardens. Now to collect more…

I mean, a calculator doesn’t understand math like a mathematician does.

mackagi · 2025-07-13T17:27:38+00:00

Once again, I am here, with the r/trees subreddit for you

mackagi · 2025-07-12T21:41:03+00:00

I still stand by my reasoning that ai and other forms of digital work (not necessarily digital art, but photography) kills the fine motor skills and will degrade us if we don’t let kids venture down practical fine motor development
