Instead of throwing pumpkins away, these options are good for wildlife or soil! Leave the pumpkins out for wildlife: animals LOVE them! Some people collect them for farm animals. See if your area composts pumpkins. Here's a bin from one program today, a few days after Halloween!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day and shamrocks, here's a bit about the clover plant. "Shamrock" actually means "little clover" or "young clover." They're pretty, plus they're good for the lawn (if you have a mix of grass and clover) and help pollinators. #shamrock #clover

I’m turning 30 next week and this is the first time I’ve seen a tumbleweed outside of Looney Tunes.
WHAT A MESS! Homes in Montana were buried under tumbleweed as some piles rose so high that they flowed over the roofs of homes. #mtwx
