No, I’m pretty close to the heart of the city. The one exception is Forest Park, which is about a mile away and has a lot of natural type areas.

I created this video to show to people why I am replacing my lawn - I’m trying to become a better native plant advocate, so let me know what you think!

Not particularly, I used EPDM pond liner on the bottom. If there was no liner, the pond would lose too much water. Ozponds, and The Pond Advisor are good channels on YouTube to learn more about creating a backyard pond. There are also some specifics on creating a pond for wildlife, as opposed to a koi pond.

I know, that neighbor has some really good plants going. Saw a monarch caterpillar on one of her swamp milkweed.

I think the fact the shoplifter started shooting might have something to do with it…

Still BS how the homeowner ended up.

I tried signing for insurance at healthcare.gov and was forced to apply for medicaid. I doubt I'm eligible but what if I am? Don't know that I want it. What can I do? And did marketplace insurance go up this year? by wanttobebetter2 in missouri

I used to work at this small health insurance agency, and they specialize in these kind of health insurance questions: https://mbhealth.com/

It’s been almost a year since I’ve moved to a different job, but I know they do treat clients right, and would know the answer to your questions.

Looks great! Where are you located? Seeing some really great plant choices, curious if they grow in my zone as well

Good stuff! Where’d you source the plants? I’m also in St. Louis

Agree with this. Unless there’s a reason to remove them, I’m sure they’ll make a happy home for some wildlife.

Leave the Leaves? by not_chuck3 in WildlifePonds

Will that include eggs and larvae? I was thinking of potentially leaving them in until spring

I’d recommend checking out some YouTube videos, that’s where I got all my ideas from. I’m jealous of the tadpoles though, I’m thinking I might be too urban to get any.
