Many gardeners have seen plenty of snow already this winter! Have you ever wondered how your plants are faring under all that glistening white, though? Snow can be both good and bad for different plants. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRvWcBgjJFg/ With winter starting to settle in, it’s natural for backyard chicken keepers to wonder… are my chickens cold? Cold weather has set in, but if the soil is still warm, you can still plant! Many hardy perennials like to be planted in fall. So give it a shot! Don’t let a bit of chilly air freeze those garden dreams! Winter is here! At least for now, according to all the snow. But that doesn’t mean the garden fun has to stop! It just looks a little different. This lavender is giving serious Christmas 🎄 vibes right now! There’s magic in the air! 🍁 The leaves are changing color and swirling in the wind, and it can make the world feel like a magical place. But there’s more than magic at work here! Looking to incorporate native plantings around your home? 🌼 One option for doing this is by using seed, either purchased from a reputable dealer or harvested from a nearby prairie. Carving jack-o’-lanterns? 🎃 Don’t skip this step, if you’re a gardener!
