🌱🇳🇿 Bees are all over my echinacea right now. Worth growing for that alone. Just one piece of a bigger project I picked up from a book on self-sufficient backyards → independentbackyard.com/my-book/#aff... Who else grows flowers just for the pollinators? 🐝 #Echinacea #Homesteading

At the end of the season I find once again that I like growing vegetables so much more than I like harvesting or eating my yield. I go through this each year, but would feel wasteful not growing food. I’m good at it and sharing with neighbors is rewarding. 🌱

The apparition that is welcome to haunt fall: Virginia creeper 🌱 #nativeplants ? Feels like a "neonative" to the western U.S. similar to Alaskan mule deer or PNW barred owls. It's native to the continent & we've facilitated its spread, but it's not like...cheatgrass. Sometimes a problem.
Palmately compound Virginia creeper leaves begin to turn red along with the bright red stems and deep purple berries of the fruit clusters.

🌱🇳🇿 The medicinal garden was just the start for me. Found a book from a couple who've lived 40 years off-grid on a quarter acre, growing food, medicine, even their own power. Been slowly working through their projects → independentbackyard.com/my-book/#aff... #Homesteading #SelfSufficient

🌱🇳🇿 Funny how a garden teaches you patience you didn't know you were missing. You can't rush a seed into blooming any more than you can rush yourself into healing. Both just need time, and showing up. #GardenersOfBluesky #MedicinalPlants

🌱🇳🇿 Wild fact: cabbage's bite exists because of myrosinase enzymes, they break glucosinolates into toxic isothiocyanates the second something bites into it. Basically chemical warfare disguised as flavor. Every plant in the garden is running its own quiet defense system. #PlantFacts
