Hello friends of /c/green

In recent weeks we have introduced a weekly observations thread in /c/collapse - with success I would say. We average 10-25 comments per week and see some nice discussion and a few regular posters in these threads.

Motivated by those positive results I would like so introduce a similar thread here but with a more general slant on environmentalism, gardening, nature observation and everything related!

Due to the fact that I will be moving places later this summer, I decided back in March that I would plant some bee flower seed mix on my tiny balcony instead of the usual vegetables. I got the for free from a good friend who works for a nature conservation society.

The results have been great! I constantly see bumblebees, hoverflies, honeybees and all kinds of wild bee species around my flowers. It feels great to provide a tiny feeding spot in a place that is surround by agricultural monocultures and I can only recommend it to everyone who has even the tiniest bit of space left in their garden or on their balcony.
