I finally have an app that allows me to identify the plants in my yard and holy goddess do I have a lot of freaking plants in my yard. Not only do I have a lot of diverse beautiful plants but I have learned that I have two cherry trees four apple trees a whole bunch of different blackberry and raspberry bushes tons and tons of wild strawberries. Plus I found some really good witchy stuff like witches purse and Buttercup and yarrow. There's a lot going on on this 2.3 Acres chunk of land. #plants#botony#joy#DontMowYourLawn
Tomatoes are tied up to their fence. I think I’m ditching the fence as trellis for string trellis at the end of this season. I can reuse the fencing and posts I’ll save for something else. I shouldn’t have to do much more pruning going forward. It’s time to harvest Kale. It’s almost time to sow round two of the cucumbers.
Some plants today. Our snake plant at home has been blooming. It's fragrant flowers are dripping with nectar- but since they are indoors, no hummingbirds or bees to slurp it up. Also the plant next to the snake plant is also taking off since I have been watering it so much.
At BrooklynGlass I went to get some neon tubes this morning and saw this neon tube double vase. I should really pitch a quick one day intro class just making lil vases like this out of tubing- so fun!
5 points to anyone who can tell me what the plant next to the spider plant is?
[EN] Although hemp is mainly pollinated by the wind, this female, white-orange flower “stinks” so pungently of overripe cheese that you have to wonder what kind of animal it is trying to please. But the daily changing details of this versatile plant species, which has been banned for decades, are fascinating, even for non-insectoids. If they are not too sensitive to odors ;-)
[DE] Zwar wird Hanf hauptsächlich über den Wind bestäubt, trotzdem "stinkt" diese weibliche, weiß-orange Blüte so penetrant nach überreifen Käse, dass man sich fragen muss, welchem Getier sie damit gefallen möchte. Aber faszinierend sind die sich täglich ändernden Details dieser über Jahrzehnte verbotenen, vielfältig nutzbaren Pflanzenart allemal; auch für Nicht-Insektoide. Wenn sie nicht zu geruchsempfindlich sind ;-)
Thanks for all that photosynthesis, cooling the local environment, participating in the water cycle, giving cover to critters, and being so nice to look at.
