It’s been a rough week but the beauty I find in my gardens always brings me peace. The columbine and trillium are especially lovely right now. #bloomscrolling#nativeplants
You can do something: Garden for wildlife! If you own land, manage it as habitat. Add and grow lots of plants native to your area, which will feed birds and their babies. If you are anywhere near semi-natural areas, the land will heal itself over time, if you let it.
Another local native plant portrait with code. This time of Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). I left it a bit expressively weird, because... personality.
(1/2) I bought a teeny tiny watercolor palette & filled it with 6 colors (CMYK + one extra color) from which I can create millions of colors! Here’s my palette in hand. You can read more on my latest blog post
I think I should make a little series of botanical sketches (in my chosen medium of code, of course) of local native plants. Maybe I'll set them into a pattern later.
Strongly considering collecting seeds and planting these around trees as revenge on squirrels for digging up seedlings and stealing fruit. 😈… 🐿️🐿️🐿️😱☠️
#introduction hi, not used to write things on the net in general. usually don't see the point in participating, when everything is commercialized. maybe this will be different. anyways, I like #gardening with a scythe #nativeplants | some very casual #birdwatching | taking care of my #cats | using #foss and #linux | watching #movies | hope to talk to some of you, let's see where this will lead
My tree seedlings for the rewilding project in graveyards and city parks aren’t large enough to plant in ground this year but they will be next year. The maypops are ready to plant though so will do that when I hear from the city arborist.
For that project, I am planting
Acer floridum
Asimina triloba
Diospyros virginiana
Passiflora incarnata
Prunus americana
Currently, my surviving native plants are listed in the pics. All the trees except the Quercus, Corylus and Cornus are seedlings. The asterisk means it’s edible.
This year I’ll try to grow serviceberry, rivercane, dewberries and some more wildflowers like dwarf dandelion, toadflax and cinquefoil.
