Native seeds please!! Not some junk seeds off Amazon!
Was going to comment exactly this
Haha me too
Yes, please. The last thing we need is someone seed bombing kudzu and choking out all native plants.
Well… Maybe someone gets the idea to bomb cannabis seeds on police- or court properties in states that criminalise growing it. They could arrest or sure each other.
The chaotic good approach to species introduction
Cannabis isn’t a native species, but if it were I’d be sorely tempted to toss a few of these around.
Throwing them in people’s yards seems kind of counter-productive – they’ll just pour more herbicide into the environment trying to get it back to their perfect grass-only display piece. All in favor of planting in unused spaces though - there’s a disused sandpit near me where we planted some native, bee-favorite flowers a little while back in the hopes of helping bring the expanse of sand back to life a little faster
I think about that every time I see one of these memes
Yeah, spore bomb yards, seed bomb public spaces.
How is spore bombing different here?
Aren’t dandelions invasive? Researching native wildflowers would be the most helpful.
I go back and forth on that. Dandelions are invasive in the US, yes. And they’re green plants that feed pollinators, and they outcompete grass in lawns which not much else can do, and if they’re already populating lawns throughout your area you’re not doing much damage by planting a few more.
I wouldn’t randomly plant dandelions anyplace where native plants could grow without harassment. Nor would I plant dandelions in a part of the US where they don’t already grow. But if you want to send a message and fuck up somebody’s lawn or golf course they’ll do the job.
I think I missed the window to do this for this year. I’m in the plant hardiness zone 3B here in Canada. The native plants here have already started growing
You have, but you could do this in the late fall or very early spring (after freshet). a lot of native seeds need to thermally scarify before they’ll germinate
Hey, do you have this image without the text? I want to translate to my language
I unfortunately do not but you may be able to ask the OC whose handle is watermarked @joan_of_art
