Your plants are really looking great! And my milkvine has shown up over by the old blackberry patch again. 🤞🏼 For cats too!

Exciting garden updates! I wonder if the grass could be a wild barley?
I sent some more detail pics to Jeanne and she keyed it out to a species of that on your suggestion! Thanks!!
Those planthoppers sure are pretty. Nice you have velvet ants there. Lots of nice plants.
Thank you!
