All right, y'all, I just got home from town and I have the most amazing package waiting on me. It is from Bailey at TN Nursery in Tennessee, and girl, you outdid yourself. I'm so super excited. First thing she sent me was moss, a moss mix. Pretty sure she saw my comment about wanting to replace my complete grass with something like this, and I have a perfect shaded area in the back that I think this will go great at. My favorite thing is the native butterfly milkweed because that is going to be an absolute game changer in my pollinator beds this year. And everything comes like this, so it's the root, just the root, um, no seeds. I don't have to deal with seeds. I can just go plant this and it'll be great. The next thing she sent me, and This is the most amazing out of all, is a tree. And what Bailey doesn't know is yesterday, as my son and I were driving around, he told me that he wanted multiple red maples on our property. Girl, how did you know? How did you know? Now he is going to be in charge of finding a home and planting this, so I'm super excited to get this in the ground. And if y'all are needing any kind of native plants or, you know, mosses. They have some amazing pollinator stuff. Y'all go hit Bailey up at Tia Nursery. She will take care of you. Thanks again, Bailey.
