One of my great successes this spring!

Signs of spring!

I hope they are still well-behaved 50 years from now.

Yes, I'm pointing out that they are Asian ornamental plants but some hellebores are also becoming invasive. They are a serious problem in forest edges and stream banks in Chapel Hill and elsewhere.

I have to put my #Asarumcanadense seeds outside today. They need warm stratification then cold stratification, so #wintersowing has been a more complicated adventure with them than others, but I'm hopeful it will work!

Pretty but out of place like my Camellias in NC.

Call to action showing a blooming Sweetbay Magnolia flower (white flower on green leaves) and encouraging the user to go to gnps.org/advocacy to learn more.

Hey there fellow #nativeplant folks!

The Georgia Native Plant Society is now on bluesky: @ganativeplants.bsky.social

Give them a follow for the latest news, like the annual symposium (2/15 & 2/16) and our legislation to change the state flower to the native Sweetbay Magnolia!

The product!

Also #CompostNow for things that can't be processed or added to outdoor piles easily (meat, bones, dairy, large pieces of bread, dirty cardboard, etc)

Awesome solution for pest free composting and sterilizing invasive seeds! #Vitamix #FoodCycler

Last year I read an article he wrote in which he characterized the movement as extremist/full of purists. He's among those permaculture folks who go beyond questioning invasion biology to dismiss it.

Oops, I included a screenshot by mistake... and a picture from the Blue Ridge Parkway at the end.

Thanks for my first repost!

Some highlights from my urban food forest/native plant habitat in Raleigh this fall.

Big fan of Pollan until he turned against the native plant movement. Oh, well.

She's my neighbor!
