End of August

I am at 595 species identified in the prairie.

Had 22 days over 100 in August and only a little rain over the last month.

Goldfish pond in the back is very low, but still has water. I have not filled it since I built it in 2019.

I have mowed a large portion of the prairie in hope of building a 0.25 acre pond for fishing and new habitat. If and when this is done, I will add more trees on the northern half of the planting and replant the rest of the area in a more short prairie look. Plan on staying away from the larger species that I initially planted.

Currently blooming:
Cup plant (almost done)
Ironweed (almost done)
Maximilian Sunflower Helianthus maximiliani starting to bloom

Late Boneset is about to start blooming
