The Deep Middle


Gardening & writing in the prairie echo

Looking Back on 2020

1/3/2021

For all the angst, suffering, and downright conflict last year presented us, it also seemed to go by really fast. I walked the garden more times than ever in all seasons, and found great delight in discovering nuances I'd have glossed over if I had been busier -- even though I definitely was busy installing some 100,000 square feet of gardens this year.

Below please enjoy a quick stroll through some of my favorite landscape images of the front and back beds at HQ. If you follow me on social media (FB, TW, IG), you've seen the collages of client spaces as well as seasonal changes at HQ. My best to you all in this new year -- prairie up!

I am registerd with a few monarch mutterfly and wildlife advocate programs, They say it's a fake and they are just trying to take money through fraud wildlife habbiatat regstry. I planted my own wildlife area on my own land within our land boundries, made a path to make a walking area to monitor the buterflies and wildlife and now a few persons are having fits and acussing stuff to try to block my own land my rights to my land.. and as a way to hurt whom i am even saying they will acuse offencive activity and threats of damage everything to force me to stop what I am doiing!I would like to see a law that backs protection with hire fines or a alternate proetction order or law for personal habbitats on personal land as long as what your doing is rgstsred, your a member and abiding by your local and state laws.., as this would help save wildlife on home land planted by normal citesins ! I would like to see a law saying no one can harass anyone involved with wildlife or habbitat on thier property and the law prohibts damage to anything that could help the wildlife like flowers, trees, butterfly or bee houseor items used to feed them or signs teling people it is a regisered land and no tresspassing unless having permission or deliberatly harssing wildlife or habbitat on your land! Knd of like what the hunter lproetction law is about!!
Utility workers should give notice of any work and level land area for replanting after work is done!
