  1. I'm starting to feel that harvest/waning season energy. As I wandered through all the gardens today, I pulled out plants that weren't doing great, removed invasive vines from the budding food forest, uprooted cosmos plants that would never produce flowers (seeds were too old), thinned out the cornflower plants (the bees love them, but they can get out of control -- they are considered "naturalized" instead of "invasive" but still), and as I expand my wildflower garden, I'll be planting more #NativeWildflowers, not just the showy ones (I scattered some white and red clover seeds today). I'm quite pleased to see the #FourSisters garden thriving -- good soil (lots of compost), and leaving some groundcover (wild strawberries and clover) really helped to keep things together. A third corn stalk tasseled out today as well.

  3. More of this, please...!

    Two #Minnesota #SolarFarms seeded #NativeWildflowers under their panels, and 5 years of counting revealed #NativeBees had multiplied twentyfold, then crossed the fence to pollinate the neighbour’s soybeans

  5. #WesternTrillium.
    This is an older Western trillium, in urban forest. They're usually all white. As they get older(takes many years), you'll see shades of pink & purple petals.
    Please never disturb Western trilliums in the wild. They are extremely sensitive native plants & need to be left alone to visually admire. Western trillium takes up to 15 years to flower. Once it has been picked/heavily disturbed, it dies. Please leave them growing 🙏

  7. #SilentSunday

    Pink purslane, trailing blackberry, wild strawberry native plants, growing out of a fallen, moss covered logs. Behind the logs, there's lots of vanilla leaf, licorice & lady ferns, thimbleberry, huckleberry, salmonberry, Oregon grape, currants, Kinnikinnick & salal plants.
    So much edible native plants in a small portion of a forest 💚

  9. The paths were wet from spring rains when I took these pictures. Rue Anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides) is named for its dual resemblance to meadow-rues and anemones (the plants in the buttercup family, not the squishy sea invertebrates).

  10. Wrapped day shift. Brief break for a few minutes to eat. Then starting to work on my line production legals paperwork cleanup deadlines for some contracts.

    Delighted to see another of my fave #purple #NativeWildflowers start #blooming in our gardens this week 🥰

  13. Rudbeckia triloba (Brown-eyed Susans)

    I started these Brown-eyed Susans from seed back in the mid-twenty-teens, and they've self-seeded every year since. I LOVE them - they are such happy flowers - and pollinators adore them too.

    This photo is from late-July and we are now at the end of November, so these flowers are done for the season. They are, however, still providing food and shelter for birds. Goldfinches and sparrows, in particular, flock to the dried seedheads.
