Solomon’s seal, fern assortment, emergency caffeine bush

Oh, and I chopped all the berries off some heavenly bamboo, since heavenly bamboo is randomly toxic to some birds at some points and birds are doing their best right now to not die of things.

Ferns, alumroot (first sighting), daffodils wrapping up, greens sets I started doing better than I should expect, pea plant starting to grab, strawberries in the most aggressive enclosure to date

Pea sprout!

Some frost damage on the Malabar spinach; sweet potato greens continue well. No frost damage on the tomatoes and peppers between the buildings, but the sun has shifted so they’re in very full shade. Leaves have fallen off the pawpaws.

Trying to actually cure them this year as in previous years I’ve eaten them uncured and been confused

Turned my back on the cucumber vine for 3 days

I just feel like if concerted subcultural human effort can endanger wild ginseng, goldenseal, and white sage, surely we could use our group ecological pressure for good on North American microstegium

A shady divot by a highway :)

I am GOING to get my hand stung eventually trying to identify bees I can tell you that for free
