Moldavian dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica) is an annual which is a bee magnet! Drying for a lemony-tasting tea for the winter to remind myself of summer.

The assertion that "alien species constitute the second-greatest threat to biodiversity, has been debunked so often (yet is endlessly repeated) that it no longer deserves the status of a myth...and is best described as a straightforward lie." uapress.arizona.edu/book/the-unr... See less

polysaccharides to compete with petrochemical-derived materials... Not that I really understand this. But anything that can compete with petrochemicals is intriguing. Looks like we can do these things if funding gets behind it. pubs.rsc.org/gc/article/2...

Scarlet gilia (Ipomopsis aggregata) has been flowering for months now. The hummingbirds love them! It's a biennial. Year one it is a rosettes of leaves. Year two it flowers and then dies. So you have to keep it going.

This crazy Aristolochia labiata that's been alive for over 5 years. It's from Brazil! I bring it in during the winter and it grows a long vine. Then, I put it outside in its pot and wow...it flowers. HUGE flowers

Recommended peppers that I tried this year: Black Hungarian, Kalugeritsa, and orange Leysla, and of course shishito. Another small and warm pepper that keeps fruiting is Creola sella.

I plant medicinal plants with fibrous roots alongside walkways to out-compete the grass. We forget about roots and their uses. Heal all (Prunella vulgaris), vervain (Verbena hastata), and plantain (Plantago major).
