Ep 31. Comedy of Crickets, Mayapple of my Eye

In this episode, I share the story of our rescue pup coming upon an American toad. Gratefully, Jolee didn’t pounce for the kill, the fate of cave crickets, though we’re grateful for her finesse. Bringing a curiosity— do cave crickets benefit the garden?https://askmarystone.com/do-cave-crickets-benefit-the-garden/Then we chat about Mayapple, a desirable native perennial, unbeknownst to me, while planting my first perennial garden two decades ago. The charming plants look like a swath of glistening umbrellas or large shiny shamrocks—maybe why this ‘big kid’ adores them, imagining woodland fairies hiding below.https://askmarystone.com/mayapple-of-my-eye/Thank you for sharing the garden of life,Mary Stone, Columnist & Garden DesignerGarden Dilemmas?
