✨Why I Let My Vegetables Flower 1. what is “going to flower” : I’m referring to annual vegetables “bolting” or shooting up a flower stalk. Seeds follow the flower stalk, so many call this “going to seed” 2. It’s usually my responsibility that they went to flower (they get tough and bitter when they flower, so most don’t eat them at this stage). It’s either because I crowded, planted a cold favoring crop too late in season, or the soil was poor. 3. I can turn my “mishaps” into magic. Most ‘perfect’ gardeners will never see a carrot seed. If you let a couple of bolted/ gone to seed vegetables live out their time in the garden, you can collect seeds that you otherwise wouldn’t have access to. 4. Your plant’s flowers make incredible “companion plants”. So let’s say you pull up 2/4 bolted broccoli plants, and replant later in the season. You’re literally creating the perfect succession companion plant. Bugs that sense the weaker veg will go for your flowering plant, and beneficial pollinators attracted to the flowers will arrive. Your newly planted alternatives will be ushered in by their community in harmony. What do you think of this method? . . . . . . . . . . . #gardendesign #gardenhacks #farmtotable #growyourownfood #gardeninspiration #gardenideas #diyprojects #diygarden #gardenstyle #gardening #farmtips
Even the fly bows it’s head to pray. I was thinking of this recently, deep in that sticky sweet, sweat that is born of an Appalachian evening. How tender is the baptism of mid afternoon rain, how holy is the simple act of washing one’s face. Even after a meal of carcass and wet bone. There’s something about returning to the earth as nasty as we began. There’s nothing clean about birth nor death, it’s all about how we lick the wound, spank the bottom, eat the placenta, and swallow the tears. Even the fly bows it’s head to prey. . . . . . . . . . . #poetrycommunity #foraging #mushrooms_of_our_world #fungiphotography #fungi_fan_club #trametesversicolor #appalachian_explorers #mushroomphotography #poetryofinstagram #fungiphotoholic #fyp
🦋🫐🪺💙 mid week blue {Boletus campestris} It’s always exciting to find these lil friends in the forest. I tend to pick one or two, help them along with their decomposition spore spreading journey,then continue looking for tastier edibles. I notice a lot of folks who are afraid to touch, pick, forage, play with mushrooms in the woods for fear of poisoning or disrupting an ecosystem. Of course I don’t advocate for over picking loads of mushrooms that you can’t identify, but I encourage you to interact with your surroundings. Look under logs. Skip stones. Rustle leaves. Learn through connection & interaction. You’re not a visitor in the forest, make yourself at home 💙 . . . . . #bluestainingbolete #fungifanatic #mushrooms #foraging #wildfood #ethicalforaging #mushroomhunting

〰️When I first met Alexander I told him that I was thinking of making my instagram into one of those “faceless” accounts. Where you see everything from the point of view of the user, and they intentionally shroud their face with oversized wildflower bouquets, or glass cups of milky matcha, or trendier still, you see their arm coming toward you to a vanishing point insinuating that they’re the person you’d cross continents with, tanned hand in hand, messy bun and high waisted acid washed jeans silhouetted against some soon to be overvisited Eastern European landscape. Of course he talked me out of this, citing reasons a boyfriend would give along with the advice I tend to tongue in the back of my mouth like a piece of kale stuck between your molars, nourishing if only it weren’t lodged above the surface: ‘It’s not the objects people care about, it’s you and your relationship to them’ So here is me in relationship to my jars of dried herbs, some from the market but most from trips northward with the aforementioned Alexander, stopping to study macrofungi and delights of small town gas stations alike And here’s me in relation to my office where I tend to accomplish less work than I do if left alone typing frantically in my “notes” app in an airport bathroom stall And here’s me in relation to being 31, the age at which you’re expected to begin filling and plumping and dyeing and tucking and nipping at the edges where growth begins to take hold of previous form and function Neither am I one to fight gravity nor one to fight another woman, so here I am, left to be supportive, if not worried, if not in awe of the stale and stuck forehead that modern medicine can render us unable to raise a brow at. Anyway, it’s a long way to say here’s my selfie for the year, I’ll leave you to pick at it while I spend time regretting posting it, while I casually wonder what percent of people still read captions. For those still clinging on, tell me about you, and your relationship to your favorite objects. Truth, dare, and promise to respond. . . #arehashtagsstillathing #fypage #ootd #sheisnotlost #forage #fastcar
🫛 now is the time to sow sweet peas indoors! Here’s how: 🫛soak & scarify your pea seeds for better germination 🫛transplant them when it’s still cool outside (they like cool roots!) but once heavy frost has passed 🫛 they eat a lot, so add a good bit of compost to your soil, but avoid nitrogen heavy fertilizer blends (they’ll grow tall, but flower less in heavy nitrogen) if you’re using a fertilizer blend, go for one that is higher in phosphorus 🫛put stakes, trellis, or cages out as soon as you plant. Even though it seems like they don’t need much support at first, it’s incredibly hard to fit in support structures after they’ve began growing! Let me know if you have any other sweet pea success secrets 🫛💗 . . . . . #gardeninspiration #gardentips #organicgardening #backyardgarden #homesteadersofinstagram
Which do you prefer? Crunchy red oak leaves on the sidewalk that give a satisfying cronch under your hiking boot? Or wet yellow ginkgo leaves that match your rain boots and flow peacefully down a rain filled gutter like a paper sailboat? . . . . #pinkoystermushrooms #fungifanatic #mushrooms_of_our_world
Have you forgotten? it is still the ink black depth of winter’s night. Let no list, nor resolution nor promotional// 10 classes for 1 price // or start now to lose more //or buy quickly to gain it all // convince you that this is the melting of a winter frost. No sooner will you find a robin’s brittle egg laid in a nest of bright wet willow twig, than you’ll find yourself arising in January with a new sense beginning. So if you must resolve, resolve to be gentle and tired. Dormant still beneath the hard soil, asleep again in the leaf lined burrow. Spring will come surely, yellow and kind, but to wake winter from her sleep is an odd ambition, while all the flora,all the fauna, all the slow dripping honey lay wait for the coming of the vernal sun. . . . . #fyp #oystermushrooms #fungiphotography
