How do I tell if the holes on my plants are from leafcutter bees vs some other critter? #gardeningforpollinators

Some #UrbanGardens I've come across recently, that I wanted to highlight on #SilentSunday. Gardens like this provide food for #pollinators and make #UrbanSpace more tranquil. Obviously, it needs to be done the right way (without bee-harming pesticides, with good soil and untreated seeds), but imagine if we had these in the space between #roads and #sidewalks instead of #grass?

Managed to get a couple of swaths of #clover established on the "lawn". Looks like there's some Queen Anne's lace in the mix! #BloomScrolling #GardeningForPollinators #SilentSunday

I decided to plant the only viable dahlia tuber out of my pack of 3 in a pot on my steps rather than put it in the ground. The Bishop of Llanduff is finally in flower. I hope the bees find it as I chose it for them.

In other news, my #cosmos flowers have started blooming. They are hybrids of two different types that started re-seeding themselves.

More "garden" pics. There's #clover starting to bloom in front of the front steps, and #milkweed next to them. I just set up a #bee watering station, with clean stones and marbles.

I can control what is done with my lawn, but not the neighbors' lawn. The bees know where they can find food. #WildflowerHour #NoMowMay #LawnFlowers #BloomScrolling #GardeningForPollinators #Dandelions

Wide shot of the backyard area. To the left is a black walnut tree, and along the fence line are rose-madder vines. There are dandelions, periwinkle, oregano, lemon balm, nettle, wild geranium, and a wee bit of grass.

Believe it or not, this is my front yard vegetable garden. Until I'm ready to plant stuff, I let the wild strawberries and mint do their thing, then thin them out to the edges. Right now, I have quite a bit of garlic and onions already established, and the peas are just starting to climb up the trellis. I've given up on trying to grow tomatoes or beets in the spot (I grow both of those in containers), but I am going to plant some celeriac, pickling cucumbers, and black seed sunflowers later in the season.

Next to the periwinkle, I managed to get some #oregano established (which ticks hate), and that provide more flowers for my bee friends. There are a few #nettles and #dandelions scattered about.

I thought I'd share some of my garden pics. A "carpet" of purple #periwinkle is a favorite amongst my bee friends. It's a bit woody to walk on barefoot, but not too uncomfortable.
