09/25/2024 sunchokes in the compost area

Who made this compost area so fancy??

There’s coral honeysuckle and passionvine on the trellis and a motion sensor light clipped up there. That way we can put out compost at night without tripping, but we don’t cause unnecessary light pollution. Between the two chimneys is Solomon’s seal that came with the house and the bigger plant is Datura wrightii (seeds originally from central Texas). The sunflowers are a native perennial, Helianthus tuberosa, also inexplicably called Jerusalem artichokes or sunchokes. Their tubers are edible.
