Nope, he’s a harmless garter snake

One more--he was thinking I was rather sus with my camera!

Wouldn’t the fragrance just be overwhelming inside the house? Seems like it would be. They always strike me as insanely strong whenever I walk by them outside, I think having that in the house would just make me sick

That sounds wonderful. Please consider sharing a picture!

You just reminded me that I bought snap peas the other day and now I need to go eat them before I forget again and they go bad -_-

Is it too late to start growing these, you think? Every time it occurs to me that I want to grow, it’s always too late in the season. Damn.

They're honestly much more of a nuisance in this area than anything else. Cool to see them about, but I forgot to close the garage door last week one night and had a bear come in and yank open the garage refrigerator (didn't come into the house, but I bet he would've been okay to try if he could!) and yank out a carton of milk.

Would you mind sharing a picture of the wildflower mix? What mix did you use specifically, and what zone are you in? What's the sun and rain situation like where you're at? When I look for wildflower yards, all I really see are examples of where it looks incredible, so that's inspiring but not necessarily realistic :/

Nah, they don't want to fuss with people for the most part. They're like giant raccoons, big fraidy cats. He didn't know I was there, if he had, he'd probably run off. They will do a kind of 'fake charge' at you if they really want you out of the way and they can't escape, but that's about it

My wife wants to grow these, but I think I heard they're invasive and hard to control, is that true?

I think this is one of the cubs I had seen last year roaming the property with their mother. He definitely thinks he owns my trash cans, at least, given how many times I've had to clean it up after he's torn through them.
