It's data. Have you any to share?

So is that a Blue Mirage, before a Blue Tsunami? Hard to say.
Win - Win sort of plan you have.
About 6000 species of solitary bees in North America. Providing them habitat by planting the flowering species they visit is a huge first step. Additionally making 'space' for their larva is enormously helpful. Many are ground dwelling, so getting rid of 'landscape cloth' which blocks them from burrowing is useful.
Check with your local cooperative extension service for information about the bees in your area.

Smart Car? E-bike?
:-( Waiting, hoping for return.
LIke a memory care facility. Really a great idea!
And wearing a kilt.
It certainly could be gay. And that's ok.
Fair. Mostly I bike, but my town is pretty small. Two friends have an electric smart car, so I’ve heard stories about them. I came across a couple that runs a delivery service (mostly food) using small EVs. I forget what model.
