That second photo is awesome! Pheasants are cool. Still don't understand why they continue to release this non-native specie in the US, though. Especially when native species like the Greater Prairie Chicken needs so much of our help.

I want to plant some wild flower in the scrub between the lot line, what do I want to get? I panted milkweed seeds last year, they never came up. Is there a Native mix?

If your milkweed seeds did not start growing, wait and see. They need to sit through a winter to grow, so you may see them grow this spring. They'll also have a much better chance of growing if they're scattered on bare soil.

Prairie Moon Nursery offers a variety of native mixes for all different conditions. Prices are pretty good. You may want to check them out here: https://www.prairiemoon.com/seed-mixes/

I've been wanting to create this slideshow for about four years and finally got around to doing it. I'm glad I did. I think it's one of the best slideshows I've put together. Definitely shows off the park appropriately. If you have some time, please check it out!
