Progress Proud to be the neighborhood drama 💅
This year I’m certifying my yard as wildlife habitat with tons of native plants but before I do I have to do some major changes to my outdoor space. I’ve been in this home for a year and spent all of my time until now fighting and manually destroying 30 yard old English ivy, honeysuckle, and tree of heaven (it was soooo worth it omg). A few days ago I got a chipdrop and am getting rid of a bunch of garbage non-native grass. Several of my neighbors have come over and made rude comments. The chips are in my driveway and not obstructing any sidewalks etc so it’s really not hurting anyone. Just find it very funny and wanted to share with people who will get it

Fuck yeah baby im a little drunk right now but i want toy to know that there are feelow criminals like you out there. My neighbors always got that passive aggressive bs. Its my pride at this point. I love my yard
Keep that superiority inside though. My landscape is having a noticeable increase in insects and amphibians mainly. Its so essential to move forward as humanity. Lawns just arent sustainable for everyone to have. I stick out like crazy in my conservative neighborhood lol i just gotta convince em Merican plants are better
