* "Weed management
is Australia's most expensive land management problem – for both the environment and agriculture."

"Recent research found that the cost of weed management made up more than three-quarters [81 per cent] of the total cost for recovering Australia's threatened species." >>

* Gardeners, pastoralists and the horticultural industry love imported exotic flora. Some are illegal but plant retailers and hobbyists continue to sell these weeds.

Some have "a dense shrub layer which excludes native plants, mainly on and near the coast, but it also transforms the habitat and, through that, deprives native wildlife of important resources. It's leaving future generations an immense burden because a lot of plants still have a long way to spread." >>

Here's an excellent video from Architectural Digest about the Geoponika greenhouse, a "plant orphanage" in LA of old plant collections. The plants are cared for by landscape designer Carlos Campos Morera. Among the collection is a female Welwitschia (an ancient Namibian gymnosperm) which is grown in stacked old sewer pipes to allow it to grow a deep tap root to a deep desert water table.

#Calendula is an excellent addition to any food or pollinators gardens. It's an amazing multi-purposeful annual plant that is easy to grow. It is #edible, #medicinal & is also a fave flower choice for #NaturalDye makers 😊
It's sometimes called poor man's saffron as it can be substituted for saffron in #culinary recipes. Most British folks call it pot's gold because it's used in broths/soups.

Learn more about how to grow, harvest & use calendula:

A stroll through the #garden at lunchtime. It’s a bright, sunny day here today with very good light conditions.

In a pale which is used to store #water for watering #plants, you can see what look like #mosquitoes on the surface of the water. You can see #ripples in the water and reflections of the plants around as well as a few #RosePetals which have fallen into the pale.

Fruit fly larvae found in mango in Tasmania The detection of fruit fly larvae in a mango imported from Queensland to Tasmania is proof that the island state's biosecurity procedures are working, says Primary Industries Minister Guy Barnett. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-03/fruit-fly-larvae-found-in-mango-in-tasmania/11838888 #Pests,DiseasesandControlMethods #FruitDamagingInsects #Pests-Horticulture #AgriculturalPolicy #Horticulture #PestControl
