so with my guava saga lol. originally I had 9 growing but they started to dissappear. i saw the peacocks ate 1, we got to eat a real big one, the worms ate one there were 2 left. I got the mesh bags so worms n bugs do not get in them. 1 day I noticed 1 of the last 2 on the floor with scratches and the other was still on tree with mesh bag it also had a scratch. so now I am going to try this on certain fruites while they grow. thinking mesh bags underneath so still protects it from bugs and worms and the plastic case over the top.

decided to try to make cheese cause sprouts had this milk for 0.99. so i figured i would expiramnet. next time ill get real organic farm fresh milk. its healthier than bought cheese. 😃 I must say its delish it came out like a cream cheese texture very creamy. all i needed was milk, salt and lemon juice. I added parsley, basil and oregano to make like an herb cheese. the process is super easy. heat milk till just before it boils or around 170°. take off stove. add lemon juice. i used about a tablespoon n half. stir once quick then just let it sit while it seperates about 10-20min I forgot cause I was watering plants so mine sat for about 40. pored it over the cheese cloth. squeezed the cloth. put In a bowl. added seasoning. stirred put back in cloth. tightened cloth put bowl on top for about an hr. for dryer cheese you are suppoed to put the bowl n a heavy can to squeeze more whey out. then refrigerated over night. you do not have to refrigerat over night but I did. so easy and so so worth it😃

what a cute idea

🪵 Build a Habitat Tripod for Birds & Pollinators (U.S. Native Edition)
Turn a simple tripod into a mini sanctuary for wildlife in your garden!
Zones: 4–9 (adaptable with similar native climbing + nectar plants).

• Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) – climbs the tripod and provides nectar for Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.
• Bee Balm (Monarda didyma) – mid-height blooms that attract native bees and butterflies.
• Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) – supports pollinators and feeds Monarch butterflies.
• Milkweed (Asclepias spp.) – host plant for Monarch caterpillars and nectar for butterflies.
• Little Bluestem grass (Schizachyrium scoparium) – provides seeds and cover for American Goldfinches and Eastern Bluebirds.

🌿 A tripod like this offers food, shelter, and protection—all in one natural feature. Perfect for creating a thriving, wildlife-friendly U.S. garden year-round! 🐦🦋🐝
