  1. there were wildflowers of all kinds, mostly the small & demure style, but the vetch is particularly abundant at the moment and the color it lends the hills is marvelous

  18. I have a new favorite word.

    Vetch.

    Apparently that's what this is in my apartment's front yard (according to iNaturalist).

    I'm thrilled that so far my landlord has made no progress toward cleaning up the wildness of the yard -- so many volunteers, things growing willy-nilly, it's *wonderful*.

    She apologized profusely when I moved in but I made it ultra-clear, no, I LOVE it this way. Wild is good, in my book.

  23. I heard the peepers peeping. 🐸

    I removed leaves from one area of seedlings, and some of them had already become a little rooted; so on the next patches, I left the ones below the seedlings' first leaves. None of them were on the ground when I put the seeds there, so....

    I saw a couple lovely purple vetch flowers in my garden! and a young, handsome garlic. (sorry, no camera this evening)

    I accidentally pulled up a strange seedling and put

  24. This is Vetch - an introduced weed. Goes to prove weeds aren’t always ugly! it’s a problem in cereal crops, but not so much in wild woodlands, where I found this one. No idea how it got there - maybe a seed stuck to someone’s shoe, or a bird needing to go!

  29. The real #Paleo diet: New #archaeological evidence changes what we thought about how ancient humans prepared food

    by Ceren Kabukcu, The Conversation, November 26, 2022

    "We found carbonised food fragments in Franchthi Cave (Aegean, Greece) dating to about 13,000-11,500 years ago. At Franchthi Cave we found one fragment from a finely-ground food which might be #bread, batter or a type of #porridge in addition to #pulse #seed-rich, coarse-ground foods.

    "In Shanidar Cave (Zagros, Iraqi Kurdistan), associated with early modern humans around 40,000 years ago and Neanderthals around 70,000 years ago, we also found ancient food fragments. This included wild #mustard and terebinth (wild #pistachio) mixed into foods. We discovered wild #grass seeds mixed with pulses in the charred remains from the Neanderthal layers. Previous studies at Shanidar found traces of grass seeds in the tartar on Neanderthal teeth.

    "At both sites, we often found ground or pounded pulse seeds such as bitter #vetch (Vicia ervilia), grass #pea (Lathyrus spp) and wild pea (Pisum spp). The people who lived in these caves added the seeds to a mixture that was heated up with water during grinding, pounding or mashing of soaked seeds.

    "The majority of wild pulse mixes were characterised by bitter tasting mixtures. In modern cooking, these pulses are often soaked, heated and de-hulled (removal of the seed coat) to reduce their bitterness and toxins. The ancient remains we found suggest humans have been doing this for tens of thousands of years. But the fact seed coats weren't completely removed hints that these people wanted to retain a little of the bitter flavour.

    "The presence of wild mustard, with its distinctive sharp taste, is a seasoning well documented in the Aceramic period (the beginning of village life in the south-west Asia, 8500BC) and later Neolithic sites in the region. Plants such as wild almonds (bitter), terebinth (tannin-rich and oily) and wild #fruits (sharp, sometimes sour, sometimes tannin-rich) are pervasive in plant remains from south-west Asia and Europe during the later Paleolithic period (40,000-10,000 years ago). Their inclusion in dishes based on grasses, #tubers, meat, fish, would have lent a special flavour to the finished meal. So these plants were eaten for tens of thousands of years across areas thousands of miles apart. These dishes may be the origins of human culinary practices.

    "Based on the evidence from plants found during this time span, there is no doubt both #Neanderthals and early modern humans diets included a variety of plants. Previous studies found food residues trapped in tartar on the teeth of Neanderthals from Europe and south-west Asia which show they cooked and ate grasses and tubers such as wild #barley, and medicinal plants. The remains of carbonised plants remains show they gathered pulses and pine nuts."
