Prairie Meid

Y’all know I’m a milkweed FAN in multiple ways. In the next week, I am foraging for native common milkweed seeds to distribute in my gardens and to give to others, so all may grow milkweed and feed themselves and our wonderful pollinator friends. Hit me up if you want some. For us and for them, this is a FREE thing. Super easy to cold stratify and plant, you literally chuck them into a sunny area at the end of summer through fall. Bam.

Holy hell. So, I just composted my 11x11 sq ft garden. Just me, a shovel, and countless trips to a huge compost pile. By the end of it, my back was yelling, my arms were burning, my b***y was sore and my hands blistered. I took a shower and slathered on my St. John’s Wort infused oil. It’s a few hours later, and I’m only a little sore, and my raised blisters have faded into mildly tender patches. I wouldn’t have believed it if it didn’t just happen. I only have a little bit to spare, $5/ounce.
