  • I love your line of thinking. Lawns don’t feed the ecosystem, flowers do! But here in the US dandelions and clover are not a critical part of their diet. Native plants are the critical part of their diet - e.g. Native maple trees that bloom first!

    Dandelions are native to Europe

    Clover is native to Eurasia

    They are far from the worst weeds, i wouldn’t go eradicating them like you should invasive plants (I leave both in my lawn anyways). But if we are looking to support our bees and ecosystem, then we should be re wilding our yard and growing native plants

    In New England there’s a lot of neat spring ephemerals too (select from additional attributes)

    It’s not for the faint lmao. Still, the bike infra in Boston is way, way better every year. I recall biking by North station recently and it was… like there was a separate bike like and lights and shit. It was nothing like what it used to be - which was nothing for bikes at all.

    Once you get used to it and know what you’re comfortable with… it’s all pretty good
