Blessed. A juvenile Western Osprey has been hanging out for at least 2 weeks. There’s a small pond 2 properties away. Maybe more water locally??? Hoping to get a good photo. Just this one for now.

Fall is generally the best season for planting natives. Here are unconventional planting tips from California Botanical Garden in Claremont.
If you need some natives to start or fill out your native plant aspirations Wild Dirt Acre has penstemons, salvias, mallows, monkey flowers and more. All plants grown on site.

The power of catnip! Is this abusive? It lured the friendly feral grey kitty into my lap. Grey kitty is fed daily and loves to be petted but not a kitty for holding or for lap time, until I offered catnip. Grey kitty is a treasured resident; they frequently hunt rats and mice!!!
Catnip is available at Wild Dirt Acre. Message me to buy a plant and see what it does to your feline.

Looks like a fig beetle o**y in the Palo Verde.
And I thought there would be fewer fig beetles this year because the chickens, the goose, the crows, the hawks and the nighttime residents ate so many of the grubs. Always surprises.

Dragon fruit flower season is here!!! Such heady scents. These guys will be opening tonight and closing in the morning. 5 more fruits in my future. Unless someone buys the plants. Which is ok too, because there are many formed now and many more to come. ❤️the🌸! ❤️the🍎! (They don’t have emojis for exotics like dragon fruit so an apple should do :)).

Get some good native milkweeds and they will come. My milkweed customer from a week ago snapped this picture and also one of an egg. 3 native milkweeds in stock at Wild Dirt Acre.
Come see our monarchs, our milkweed patches, our caterpillars and our plants for sale. No guarantees on a monarch or caterpillar sighting but they are here a lot.
By appointment- same day and next day appointments are best.
Thanks Ben Hecht for sharing!

Fresh monarchs. First they devour: Caterpillars chowing down the Narrowleaf Milkweed in the garden. Then they morph: Chrysalis on Dragon Fruit in the nursery. And then they emerge as vibrant beings: New Monarchs on Yerba Santa in the nursery and Mexican Sunflower in the garden.
Thank you Ric Morrison for the photos and video of the Monarch in the nursery.
3 varieties of native milkweed are available in the nursery for your monarch garden: Narrowleaf, Showy and Kotolo.
