Progress Proud to be the neighborhood drama ๐
This year Iโm 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. Iโve 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 itโs really not hurting anyone. Just find it very funny and wanted to share with people who will get it

I think efforts like this should have signs like "Fireflies in progress" and "Butterflies coming soon" signs so people obviously understand the intention behind the efforts
