Posted on April 5, 2023April 5, 202304/05/2023 departure We managed a short walk for dog business before Briar freaked out about wanting to get in truck. On that walk we saw this nice crustose lichen with orange apothecia (the round speckles) on a walnut tree. Briar safe in the truck and you can’t take her out!!!
Posted on May 12, 2022May 12, 202205/12/2022 all the not dramatic regular stuff Walking onions from garden, assorted farm share veggies, with glass noodles and chicken. Pulled a lot more Maximilian sunflower this evening. I put it in a tub with some potting soil to keep until they can go to new homes. I found a baby spittlebug on one sunflower stem! I took it over to the sunflowers we’re keeping so it can keep eating. In the front yard, a few winecup seedlings are coming up in the ground cover orchard area. More baby winecup! I pulled up two more native black walnut seedlings and potted them. Hopefully this one can make it with only half its remaining food. Anyways, this makes a total of four. I have found good homes for most or all of them now. Our lot is too small for another big tree.
