My local native plant nursery opened presale orders yesterday and they started selling their shrink your lawn kits for the season. #SupportLocal
I moved in January and it’s challenging not to take on this whole acre all at once but every spring I’ll take on what I can. #NoLawns
Anyone else have a food forest?
I recently purchased a home and started the arduous task of building my forest from scratch. Ordered lots of seeds today to start in my greenhouse and some trees are on their way and soon I’ll start the arduous task of removing grass. #NoLawns #Permaculture
I’ve been thinking of a greenhouse from Costco lately for starting seeds and fresh tomatoes year round. I bought a new house - 1 acre! - and I’m starting from scratch again removing grass and building my garden so I’ll need the space. What are your garden goals this year?

California has banned the sale of new leaf blowers, but the economics of converting to electric are not penciling out. Meanwhile, the quiet menace - lawns - persist. #NoLawns
I’m sorry but lawns are so stupid. All that work for a mediocre looking green blob for… Nothing. If you’re not gonna use it at least let the bees and bugs use it. They’re not good for anyone at all. @climatetown.bsky.social said it best #nature #environment #nolawns #pollinators youtu.be/KLYMjPNppRQ

Year 3 of replacing my front lawn with a pollinator garden! Mostly native plants with some annuals mixed in. Upstate NY #gardening #nolawns #pollinatorgarden #nativeplants

I saw another 'Jagged ambush bug' today! This time I had my glasses on so it's a bit more focused 😂 Wow these ones are cool! #bugsky #insects #nolawns
Clover ground cover.
Who needs grass when you can have clover? This is our side yard, the clover is slowly filling in all the open spaces.
We mow it maybe once a month in the active growing season May- July. #nolawns
food plants grow like
wheat in fields without pests--
food is more secure
I like writing Senryu's om peoples posts! I agree with a little bit of wildflowers and a little bit of food planting should replace lawns like, yesterday...

Speaking of being outside, husband and I Pokemon went to the post office this morning before the heat of the day.

Lawns are just green concrete.

Amateur hour in my #nolawns #foodnotlawns #wip The rose bush was a gift from my son and my concrete circle is here too. #cheddarisheretoo
I try to keep lawn to an absolute minimum, and even that bit has clover

Before anyone gets to worrying about it Pink Dandelions are not considered invasive. They have all the same herbal uses as the Common Dandelion, their leaves are edible, and I'm very sure their flowers can be used to make Dandelion wine.
Good Morning everyone, while this isn't a full-on Wild Harvest Digest post I thought you all would not mind this picture from the test garden. A Pink Dandelion (Taraxacum pseudoroseum) in Bloom. #Dandelions #NoLawns #Wildflowers
Me: grass is a toxic monoculture.
Also me: *hand digs dandelions out of my front lawn*
#nolawns #alsonodandelions (there are still plenty of dandelions) #definitelynoherbicides
My left hand awkwardly holding a bundle of fresh green and purple asparagus harvested from my garden, with a lone strawberry nestled in them. My wrist has a rainbow striped/pride watch band. In the blurry background is loads of green with a swath of pink.
Excuse my claw grip 😆 but this is the asparagus and surprise strawberry I got to harvest today!
I also pruned my fruit trees even though it was later than ideal.
The swath of pink in the background is columbine flowers. They’re so cool!

A mulched over yard with multiple raised beds, young fruit trees, a cattle panel trellis, and a greenhouse.
Ridding the front yard of grass has taken over a year, but it's finally starting to come together. Now to get the medicinal herb garden going in the keyhole bed.
