Mornin’

It’s been a while.

In a bit of a rush.

So I’ll just leave this here with you to mind.

And remind….

All’s not wrong in the world.

There are places…

This beautiful dandelion is a crucial first food source for emerging bees, packed with protein rich pollen and energy boosting nectar.

Don't mow them down!

Before you mow, remember that what looks like a weed to you is a vital fuel station for our essential #pollinators. Let the #dandelions #bloom and save the bees. 🌱🐝

But it’s Tuesday you fool!
I know…
I know…
It is Tuesday.
I am a fool.
But yesterday was a holiday so I reckoned you’d need it more today.
Still a #MondayMorningMinute recorded yesterday for consumption today…
Sound up.
And…
Relax.
You’re very welcome.

“Hey! Hey!” he said again. “Can I help you? Hey! Can I help you?”
He was shouting from up by the barn.
“No,” I said. “I’m trying to get a picture of your dandelions. They caught my eye as I was driving by.”
He was quiet for a moment. “Oh.” Then, “I thought you were looking for the swimming hole. A lot of people are looking for the swinging hole.”
I never saw him. Just heard him yelling. Not unfriendly. But it reminded me of the “mushroom wars,” when farmers would attack strangers in their fields. Because they were trespassing, damaging fences, leaving hazardous (to cattle and machinery) garbage. Because they were long-haired strangers picking “magic mushrooms” in their fields.
That was a long time ago. Still, having a farmer yelling at me, it got my back up.

Getting to know our food, and how being good stewards of the land can help us eat better

by Katharine A. Jameson, Vermont Country magazine
03/01/2024

Excerpt: "Learning from the land

"Chief Stevens points out that it’s all in one’s perspective. He gives the example of #dandelions. 'You might look at them as a weed but I might look at them as a food source,' he explains, noting the wine and greens for which they’re used.

"When Europeans arrived in what they later named Vermont, they saw the lush #ForestGardens Natives had fostered, but didn’t recognize that it had been cultivated. 'The sophistication of the agriculture system was so high that people couldn’t see it at all. It just looked like abundant wild lands, but really they were so abundant because of our deep connection and long-term #stewardship of them,' #Abenaki tribal member, #JohnHunt describes in a new, short film posted to YouTube about Abenaki food systems.

"What can we learn from these growth practices? Professor Tiana Baca of Sterling College explains in this film: 'Nature doesn’t grow in #monocrops.' She notes that Native people’s lush gardens maximized yields by #CompanionPlanting crops like the #ThreeSisters. 'The three sisters is a companion planting group of corn, beans and squash. They’re plants that grow together and support each other. The corn is growing up, it’s providing this living trellis. The beans use that to climb on. The beans are then fixing nitrogen and supporting the growth of the corn and then the squash plant kind of sprawls out and creates this living mulch. All of them working together makes all of them produce better.'

"Respect runs deep in the Abenaki tradition. From the elders and ancestors from whom they learn to the food and animals they consume, they bless the animals they dispatch with tobacco and hold sacred the chain of custody of each of their seeds.

" 'We have to have some foresight about it. Treating the land with respect and not looking at it always through our need, but as a collective community need. In the old days we used to look at community more than individual needs.' Stevens discusses the Native mentality that land, contrary to the European way, is to be shared by all creatures, not owned.

" 'There is hope,' Chief Stevens says. 'There is a way to reconnect and change the outcomes of what is happening. But the only way to do that is to put the effort, time and resources into connecting with us, the native people and others to try to remember that historical knowledge of connection to our land, our animals and our wild food sources. The forests and the wild foods sustained our people for thousands of years. Why would we not think it wouldn’t do that now?'

"The Chief set out a few things we can all do to help save the planet."

Dandelions and the Great Race of Yith are pretty much the same thing.

I've recently realized that my property is a mullet ... the front yard is nicely trimmed and business-like for the neighbours. The back yard is an unkempt disaster of dandelions and chaos.

Dandelions!

#ClimateDiary i also just signed up for #ProjectDandelion - a #ConnectedWomenLeaders #CWL project. I first learned about it in an #OutrageAndOptimism interview with #MaryRobinson and #HafsatAbiola - in the same week that #WildFlowerHour did #Dandelions! A clear sign already but just now my sister Sophie sent me this painting- she too had just heard of Project Dandelion from a friend! So i feel i’m meant to join. I do think building #ClimateAction networks is key
