  1. So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced.

    Bi socair — be still.

    What are you growing that won't pay off for years?

  3. “Many Indigenous groups around the world – the Indians of the Amazonian regions, for example – are literally masters of their ambient vegetation as a result of inherited knowledge. This knowledge – of great potential value to humanity as a whole – is unfortunately doomed to extinction with the rapid acculturation and westernisation in many parts of the globe where Indigenous peoples can still live peacefully without disruption

  4. A plant to plant, not a plant to dose. Cha bhris am freumh — the root does not break.

  9. Prairie is among the most destroyed habitats on this continent, and this is one of its markers.

    Everything you can see of it is built to be burned off.

    The taproot goes fifteen feet down into ground nobody has broken since before there was a state there. Some live close to a century.

  14. Nine feet up in the tallgrass, leaves turned north and south to duck the midday sun. That's how it got the name — and how people once took a bearing on open ground with nothing else to sight on.

    Silphium laciniatum. Blooming right now through September.

  19. #RockportME - Make Your Own #PersonalCareProducts Workshop

    April 1 @ 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM

    "Clinical #Herbalist #PatHarpell will lead a workshop at the #RockportPublicLibrary, teaching participants how to create their own personal care products. This free class, on Wednesday, April 1, at 1 p.m., is part of the Library’s 'Let’s Feel Better in 2026' series.

    "Harpell emphasizes that personal care products are simple to make and free from the chemicals found in most store-bought products. During the workshop, participants will learn to make an all-natural lotion and facial cleanser using ingredients that are safe enough to consume. Attendees will take home their creations and receive instructions for making #LipBalm, #shampoo, hair rinse, and more.

    "Harpell’s interest in skin care products originated from her research as a clinical herbalist. She encountered persistent, chronic conditions that resisted treatment from both modern and alternative medicine. This experience led her to advocate that the ingredients applied to the skin are just as important to consider as those put into the body. Harpell encourages participants to embrace this knowledge and host personal care product-making parties at home.

    "The 90-min. program has a limited capacity of 16 participants. Interested individuals can register by calling the Rockport Library at 207-236-3642."
