This is a “divide and conquer” kind of yard! We’re proud of how full and colorful it’s looking this Spring and not everyone has emerged yet!!

Not much of a frost this am but if you are worried today or tomorrow, give your plants a light spray off from the hose before the sun hits them all will be good. It is the sun on the ice crystals that causes the damage.

Tiny Wings, Massive Impact

Bees may be small, but their role is vital. They pollinate many of the plants that feed us and support the ecosystems we depend on. Without them, both agriculture and natural habitats would face serious challenges.

This image offers a glimpse into their diversity. There are thousands of bee species, each playing a part in pollination. Different, yet connected by a shared role: helping plants grow and ecosystems function.

The next time you see a bee, take a moment to notice it. It’s part of a much larger system that keeps our environment healthy and productive.

Protecting bees helps protect our food supply, our landscapes, and the balance of nature.

This young lady has had a week!
She celebrated spending a quarter of a century on this lovely planet with the crew on Tuesday!!! Woot! Woot! We are very happy she was born!!

Wednesday she was driving Truckee when someone hit her running a red light. She is banged up but doing ok!

As an employer, gotta say, worse thing ever is getting that call that your employee was in an accident. Whew! And here I thought the problem was going to be her cutting her finger with the new planting knives we all got yesterday.

Be sure to give her a big shout out for her bday!
