After three seasons of heavy ground hog pressure and serious creek side flooding it refuses die. I planted three and two remain. The one I lost actually was physically removed by flooding. Gone. #nativeplants16 Mar 2026 00:07 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh562dirhc2thttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3mh55ns37tk27Saw this little guy today while cutting back my blackberry vines to 1’.

I caught this bluebird exiting the nest earlier this morning. The box sits behind my dormant wildflower patch in the front. A mature Southern Magnolia is in the background. #nativeplants14 Mar 2026 14:39 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgzntdxv5s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3mgvncnv4ds2rI’m restoring the hillside between my house and the creek and need lots of native plants. It’s going to take a while but I installed this today to start my raised beds to propagate needed plants. This is one of the Leucothoe I propagated from clippings late last summer. #nativeplants13 Mar 2026 00:19 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgvncnv4ds2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3mgt2scbbfk2rIt’s great to see my Alabama Croton coming alive. It came from a late summer clipping off one my existing plants. Worked moving a wood pile I had on concrete where I’m about to install 4 raised beds. Also, Fothergilla in bloom, a slimy salamander and a red eft. It’s all connected. #nativeplants11 Mar 2026 23:42 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgt2scbbfk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3mgidenedfc24Stayed up way too late (4:30) but still managed to get up at 8:00. I feel a nap in my future. Beautiful morning cataloging plants and critters on the creek. #nativeplants. Lots of Two-leaved toothwort out and this rather thick water snake. Some Common Blue Violet (Viola sororia) also.☮️❤️🌈🤝✊🏻07 Mar 2026 17:16 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgidenedfc24https://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3md4snsrlt22qJust picked up both of the Pine Hill Haints records on the Single Lock Label.

I planted 2 sugar maples I named Shimmer and Shake. I also planted a willow oak, a pin oak and a Shumard oak. #nativeplants02 Nov 2025 14:06 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4noh4vfn226https://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3m2ou22xss225I started breaking up sticks last summer under my big oak trees followed by adding logs and neighbors yard debris this summer. It’s crazy how this area has come to life. Violets and calico asters have come up, native hollies are thriving and even resurrection fern and a tulip poplar😊 #nativeplants08 Oct 2025 14:28 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2ou22xss225https://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3m2cek2xkoc24Large milkweed bugs on milkweed pods 👾 #nativeplants03 Oct 2025 15:19 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2cek2xkoc24https://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3m25ihrkaik2cNot sure if I’m late to the dance or not but I just discovered the band Florry and I really like them.

Will be planting some blackhaw, a tulip poplar, bald cypress and a black gum in that general area soon. I may add a Diablo nine bark on the far right in the new bed #nativeplants24 Sep 2025 23:58 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzmnel6obc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3lzlihycynk2dSome flowers in the wildflower garden just don’t want summer to be over😊 #nativeplants24 Sep 2025 12:58 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzlihycynk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3lzjsppu4ps2bGot the bat house up. Hope to be able to take the temporary support down tomorrow. The native plants have pulled in lots of creatures including the bats that are roosting in my vinyl siding. Going to close up the siding at night when they are gone. Hopefully they find this house soon🦇 #nativeplants23 Sep 2025 20:56 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzjsppu4ps2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3lzefbgkumc2xCome go for a walk with me😊🐝🌺 🌊 #nativeplants21 Sep 2025 17:12 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzefbgkumc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3lzcdnzcn6s2z#nativeplants [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 Sep 2025 21:38 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzcdnzcn6s2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/rickybusinesslc.bsky.social/post/3lzcdn6rwyc2zBeautiful day in the back yard next to the creek😊20 Sep 2025 21:37 +0000at://did:plc:do6pwhy2rlnobrx6kgqlgssc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzcdn6rwyc2z
