Even almost a year later, yep. I still feel this 🫂

I started my entire garden (now farming) journey by learning what birds mean.

An influx of barn swallows often == insects are about to boom.🐦

Goldfinches and sparrows == healthy soil and seed diversity.🌱

Aphids mean there's a nitrogen imbalance, which attracts chickadees.🪲

Another thing, garden wise, often times there will be someone in the group that knows a lot about a thing (like a bird, insect, or plant) and they aren't usually first to share. Look for the person with knowledge and listen to their stories. That's where the magic is 👌

Hell yea way to go!!! ❤️‍🔥Something that helped me when I first started connecting with community, is connection doesn't always mean talking or engaging with ppl. It's helping others while honoring your energy limits in the process. Small acts and noticing others matter too.

THAT'S the tiniest middle finger ever! BWAHAHA
