I was just going to photograph this beautiful clump of butterfly weed, but one of my little Carniolan honeybees decided to photobomb! 🐝 📷 💣 😁 . . . #bees #beekeeping #honeybees #carniolanbees #butterflyweed #milkweed #flowers #permaculture #homestead
We discovered what I'm pretty sure are swamp roses (Rosa palustris) blooming by the creek! This is a native species here in Michigan, and a great value for pollinators. I'll definitely try to propagate these lovely friends along with my rugosa scheme. 😁 . . . #plants #nativeplants #roses #swamprose #rosapalustris #permaculture #homestead
A few more bright spots in the garden. ❤️ . . . #garden #gardening #backyardgarden #growfood #flowers #yarrow #coneflower #cucumber #tomatoes #permaculture #homestead

File this one under wild experiment: these are cuttings from beach rose (Rosa rugosa) from our recent trip to Nantucket Island. I love these roses and I've always wanted some at our house. ❤️ Apparently it is possible to root them from cuttings, but it's definitely the wrong time of year and these had a long car ride home... but we'll see! 🌹 . . . #garden #gardening #backyardgarden #flowers #roses #rosarugosa #plantpropagation #permaculture #homestead
Last year my groundhog nemesis got every. last. broccoli. I shall toast my @premier1supplies electric fence whenever we cook this one up! 🥂😁🥦 . . . #garden #gardening #backyardgarden #growfood #broccoli #permaculture #homestead
