Everything I’ve learned about people relates to raising plants. The favorite plants you care and tend to the most often die from overwatering, or week roots. Too much fertilizer may mean plants with fewer flowers, but you can’t treat them all the same - some need less others more. Listen to them, they will tell you what they truly need. Some plants die young, they leave seeds to remember them by. Some plants are tenacious vines that destroy everyone they interact with; avoid them. Weeds are the most stubborn and maligned because they don’t give up, they also last far beyond other plants that fail. Some seeds require tough conditions like freezing or scraping but nothing can be rushed, they all become themselves in their own time. The most engineered flowers have the biggest blooms but the least nectar; they are showy and beautiful but useless to wildlife. Never trust a toxic plant-they will affect you in ways you may not realize-it’s how they protect themselves. Some plants destroy the heart and fix it. One man’s cure is another’s poison. Vines destroy a fence while they build their own. Sunflowers are selfish- they stop other seeds from germinating they do it to survive. The sweetest flower is often the most toxic. Some seeds are made to travel, to be eaten by wildlife, to be spread attaching to others- every thing has a purpose and a reason, we don’t have to always understand them. Plants will grow and they will die, they will be black in the winter And green in the spring but there is always hope in the garden. Always plant seeds, the future is made from them.

Flower plants are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they are also important sources of food for insects - even parasitoid wasps such as Anagyrus vladimiri that can host-feed (ingest host fluids). This is why it's so important to consider the habitat that you are providing for beneficial insects in your vineyard, field, or garden. Flower cover crops are a great option, but by now, a majority of cover crops have dried out or been mowed in my area in Napa/Sonoma. Perennial flowering plants, on the other hand, can provide shelter and food for insects year-round! Some planting schemes include hedge rows, permanent "insectary" blocks, and adding native perennials to the ends of vine rows (instead of planting roses, which I personally hate ??). The consensus is that plants with small flowers are most attractive to parasitic wasps since the nectar is easier to reach. Yarrow (Achillea), california perennial buckwheat (Eriogonum), and california lilac (Ceanothus) are all great options - and as an added bonus, they're drought tolerant after they are established! There are a lot of great resources out there for picking insectary plants, but here is one UCANR article I like: https://lnkd.in/gCS2HXEn Do you have a favorite insectary plant you like to grow? ??

Did you know that one out of every three bites of food we take are made possible by pollinators? You can lend a helping hand to our pollinator friends right in our own backyards. Efforts as simple as planting a window box with native plants make a difference. If you have a yard to work with—even a small patch—converting that grass to native flowers and plants is a great way to restore balance to your local ecosystem. https://nature.ly/4amD3OB

Taking care of a native plant garden during its first three years will help set it up for long-term success. Keep these things in mind: ???Water new plants a minimum of 1” each week. Watering larger amounts of water across longer intervals of time helps promote deeper root growth. ???Weed your garden regularly. If you’re unsure whether a plant is a weed, let it grow a little first and use a plant ID app. Try to pull weeds before they make flowers and seeds. ???In late summer and fall, let leaf litter and debris be. It’ll help enrich your soil, encourage beneficial fungi, and provide overwintering habitat for insects.
