Happy Winter Solstice! Throwback to that time around the Spring Equinox when I was channeling my inner Druid at Stonehenge. I’d sure like to go back again and watch the sun rise some winter solstice. #stonehenge #wintersolstice #druids

Nice early-morning cruise down the Seneca River birding with @walkininmemphis.bsky.social and @megschader.bsky.social yesterday. Even managed to get a few of these Great Blue Herons in focus while bobbing up and down. #GreatBlueHeron #BlueHeron #birdwatching #CentralNewYork #centraNY #SenecaRiver

First hazelnuts on this three year old plant.🤩 I counted 3 but I don’t hold much hope that the squirrels won’t get to them before I do. Stay tuned for my best squirrel stew recipe. #CorylusAmericana #SquirrelFood #AmericanHazelnut #ForestGarden #ForestGardening #PerennialVegetables #permaculture

Throwback #TBT to that Thursday afternoon walk in the woods with @walkininmemphis.bsky.social and @megschader.bsky.social when we saw this sweet young eaglet.🦅#eaglet #baldeagle #birding #baldeaglet #CentralNewYork

A little late for peak peony blooms but I did manage a dreamy o'keeffe-esque snap of one of the 'Krinkled Whites’ before it faded. And a hover fly. #peonyseason #peonypic #peonylove #georgiaokeeffe #krinkledwhite

Things that don’t keep me up at night: This Grey Treefrog. Their calls lull me right to sleep. 😴 🐸 #SummerFrogCalls #CampSounds #CountryLiving #LakeLife

Every time that I think I don’t have room for one more fruit tree/shrub…I’m wrong. Picked up an Illinois Everbearing Mulberry recently. Started leafing out beautifully just two days after I planted it in not-so-optimal clay soil. #PlantOnceEatForever #FoodForest #Permaculture #PermacultureGardening

I don’t have the ambition (or the equipment) to remove this stump so now it’s a ‘raised bed’ planter filled with Calendula. 🤣🌼 The leaves and petals are both edible and it’s a prolific self-seeder so it’ll be here every year till this stump rots to the ground. I think it’ll look cool.

Besides Boone’s Farm and MD 2020, did anyone else score a bottle of Lake Niagara wine when they were a precocious and curious teen? I bought this half-dead ‘Vitis labrusca’ or Fox Grape on sale at Runnings last summer for $4 and it seems to be bouncing back.

Kids these days are fearless, amiright? Came right out curious-as-can-be and walked right over to me. A neighbor once questioned why I pile up sticks and branches all over the place and the answer is ‘habitat’. Now she has an apple for breakfast in addition to a safe place to wait for mom to return

Florets of Turkish Rocket (Bunias orientalis) cohabitating with Stinging Nettle. Sauté them up like a broccoli rabe/rapini (their boring domesticated cousin) or let them flower to nourish the pollinators and other beneficial insects. #PlantOnceEatForever #FoodForest #EdiblePerennials

The Cherokee referred to them as "Peace Eagles" because they don’t have to kill in order to thrive. ☠️🖤 The world could use more Turkey Vultures.

Sowed some radish just for fun since the seeds were over three years old and I wasn’t sure if they were any good. Every single one of them popped up! From seed to ready-to-eat in just over three weeks. Easy peasy. Greens are tasty, too. #soraradish #fruitionseeds #RaphanusSativus #gardensky

Super productive day sitting on the deck watching little winged creatures and tiny crawly things. That’s it. That’s all I got accomplished. And that was exactly enough.☺️ #hummingbirds #birdsky #birds

Can any of my fun-loving fungi friends identify this quickly-rising but faster-falling mushroom?

If you want your friends to experience the Spirit of your kindness over-and-over again, just send them an edible perennial to plant in their garden. It’ll feed their body AND their soul.

Elderberry cuttings from Edible Acres are putting on some nice growth. It’s completely crazy and magickal to me that you can just press a stick in the ground and a shrub will grow. I planted 30 of them in mid-march (and when I say “planted” I mean I just stuck 30 sticks in the ground).
