Working lately in a small restoration that has a good population of tick-trefoils. Upside is seeing #nativeplants thrive. Downside is I can never seem to get all the sticktight seeds off my clothes & find them all over. These were on a kitchen placemat & a bed sheet (with some dog hair).

Missouri AG using #ICE to interfere in elections. She claims that org collecting signatures for referendum to overturn gerrymander is using illegal aliens & has alerted ICE to investigate. Has no evidence to back claim. Just fear mongering. Gift link to article.

Dug up a small piece of a brome grass field to prep it for seeding some prairie plants. The soil is not great, so I added a bit of the biochar I made this summer.

It's always eerie looking when they harvest in the dark because the combines kick up so much dust.

Time to seed for next spring. These are redbuds and sweet Joe Pye weed from my yard to be spread in an island of trees in the middle of a small hayfield. Spent the summer clearing winter creeper and bush honeysuckle so there is plenty of ground under mature locusts and hackberries.
