If nothing else the seed bank is more diverse
Darwin planting ๐
I winter seeded a large plot of native grasses and wildflowers. The winter rains never really came and we are currently under "exceptional" drought condtions. There are few sprouts but I can't irrigate. Am i screwed for a decent germination.

My daughter and her partner will be at ohio State hospital becoming a pediatrician and surgeon. Very proud of them both
Allow me a moment of Dad bragging. Today was match day. 50,000 soon to be graduated from med school across country found out simultaneously where they would be doing their residency. At one swoop they find out what their specialty will be and where they will spend next few years . 1/2
Sounds good. Ill let you know if I'm successful
It is good. If I get enough fruit I will have to learn how to make jelly.
Im excited to see stuff starting to sprout. Getting ID on those sprouts will take time. Lol
This is Darwinian planting , throw it out and see what survives. #nativeplants
Over the fall and winter I scattered seeds from over 100 species of native plants on my property. The amount of each jad to do with availability and price. Did try and get them in roughly right sun and moisture.They are a mix of forbs, grasses and shrubs.
Carolina jasmine in the May Haw tree. #Nativeplants
Yellow wood Sorrel... I think. #nativeplant
The May Haws are blooming. If I can beat the birds to the berries there will be jelly . #nativeplants
It will come ๐
It's officially spring The redbuds are blooming
Ambrosia maple cane
I make canes as a service for friends and family. This one is ambrosias maple. This one for a friend's father. It's something I can do as a middle finger to these shitty times
American kestral box mounted. Hoping it gets occupied this year
I am losing hope that there is any chance that anything good comes out of our current timeline
Pete seeger or woody guthrie style.
Definitely the birth of an anthem
Also have a 1000 wiregrass plugs coming . I live in a region called the wiregrass. Seems like i should have some of that
This is mixed forest (lobloly and various hardwoods) and pasture. Its first time i can access whole property in many years. Feels like a park now. Need to get some tall grass cover growing this winter and spring.
I will likely need to respray and burn in next year. But i have a chance to get a reset. Maybe for my remaining years it can be mostly native. #nativeplants
Im spraying much of the Bahia to knock it back and give other plants a chance. Will overseed with native grasses and wildflowers. I know the battle with invasives can't really be won by one person.
I know that many are opposed to herbicide use. I have 25 acres that was overrun with privet. Most of test covered in Bahia. Hired a forestry mulcher to remove the worst. A spray crew went after the resprouts this week. 1 of ? #nativeplants
Upgrade your glasses with wooden stem. Easy christmas #woodworking
