partridge chicken
My only complaint about turning my lawn into a wildflower and curated garden is a rabbit like to chomp our asters before they can bloom.
He only ate one and cut down the others and left their buds to decay in the soil.
We do have other asters in the back that are now so strong he can’t do that.
Also one more good thing about the biodiversity thing: everything in my garden is massive this year, and it’s been growing so quickly. The soil is definitely thriving.
i prob don't need to tell you this but remember to leave the dead plants where they are so that the nutrients can go back into the ground, also seeds
Rabbits love clover and all legumes actually. So if you got dutch white clover in your lawn they will go for that first. They will be enough to discourage most eating of garden plants. They avoid everything except my sunflower which they have been eating while they are low. Or at least something is.

They always make my day when I find them. Where I live there's a lot of abandoned land with good biodiversity (because nobody is around to fuck it up!) and you can hear their broken-fax-machine calls during mating time and then later in the year you might be lucky and find mum and chicks running along some path.
did a tick make this post?
Ah yes, because the recent explosion of tick population is surely because of our biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.
Do you know what the natural predators of ticks are? Do you know what sort of environments they like to sleep and rest and hunt? Do you know what the average American's response is to finding a burrow on their property? Or their cats' and dogs' response?
We truly haven't learned from medieval cityfolk killing cats because of the black death.
Never got a tick from my garden which is left to grow as a meadow, got a few from actually somewhat wild areas though.
