Have you ever been homesick for a place you've never been? I have been struggling with this feeling for a while. I love my home, our garden but there is this nagging feeling I'm not where I should be. Maybe it's just wunderlust, mental and emotional exhaustion and/or romanticizing an idea ...

What especially neat is that its all hashtag#OpenScience with a R shiny app to interact with the models

Frontiers | Planning for the future, algae bloom dynamics in water management and ecosystem restoration efforts Eutrophication and chronic harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a challenge for ecosystem managers and restoration planners. Drivers of HABs include nutrient avai...

🌊 New study alert! We modeled what drives harmful algal blooms in Lake Okeechobee using decades of data. The LOK-HABAM model links hydrology + nutrients to bloom risk—helping guide smarter restoration + ops. Science that informs action!

Yikes!!

Is that pollen or some kind of phytoplankton?!?

"Sorry for the delay in responding to your message, I've been watching a live stream"

I actually used that today as a colleague texted me and it took me a while to respond. 😂😂

How do people leave this (picture #1) and say I'm moving to "paradise" (picture #2)? It made me nauseous looking at where I used to live and grateful that we are no longer there.

A beautiful blooming Columbine (Aquilegia app). Not the native but excited to see its beautiful bloom. We will still be planting the native and slowly transitioning this area to native dominate. Plus we don't want to completely rip out everything the prior owner loving cared for.

I just saw the medal list ... This is awesome on so many levels!!

Downy Hawthorn (Crataegus mollis) blooms. While flower amongst green foliage.

Beautiful!! In the US (central NY) our native downy Hawthorns (Crataegus mollis) have bedazzled me with their blooms. Our woodland is filled with them.

On our evening walk last night we came across this plant. We've been trying to ID it but the closest we've come is Sorbus americana (American Mountain Ash). The American cousin to the European Mountain Ash ... as in Rowan trees!! 🤞🤞 We're right, I would love to have a native "Rowan".

This year at Chelsea there will be a show garden that puts seagrass center stage!! The Seawilding garden by Ryan MacMahon will have Zostera marina (eelgrass) as part of the garden to raise awareness on endangered marine ecosystems.

Given my gardening ethos, I'm always conflicted about garden shows like Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea, Malvern, etc but they do provide great opportunities to educate, show how to grow sustainably and change the narrative of "trendy" gardens.

If you know me, you know that I love to garden. I especially love planting and growing plants. While I grow fruit & veg, I'm more of an ecological gardener, a gardener for wildlife rather than a showy & pretty garden. Granted, you can garden for wildlife & make it look pretty.

Friday even after work we decided to go for a short hike, so we packed the dogs up and headed 20 minutes south to Spruce Pond in the Morgan Hill State Forest. Absolutely stunning ... still can believe we live here.

Busy, busy, busy Woodland, wetland, fruit and veg

Wow, it's been forever since visiting and/or posting here. We've been super busy with the move, working in the garden and exploring our new area.

I've started a substack to document the garden and woodland. Here is the last post.

Last night's sunset was absolutely amazing, which helped ease the ending of a challenging day.

Since I name dropped (in a good way) in the post ... In many ways @jackwallington.com and @katebradbury.bsky.social are inspirational, I want to be cool like them when I grow up 😁

Trying something new ... I started a substack to document and share the new garden.

I've hopefully captured all the wetlands and peatland people I follow in this starter pack - apologies if I missed you out. I think I can edit if need be.

Is it just me or was last week's episode of @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social (pic#1) reminiscent of the 2011 episode (pic#2) of #MontyDon pruning the limes? Oh how they have grown!! ...the limes I mean 😁

It's been a couple of days in the new house, some of the "WTF did we do" has passed now that we are starting to bang things out (2 contractors scheduled for basement & foundation repairs), getting ready to epoxy the garage floor and paint the living room. But the real reason we jumped in is this

No, but I will now! Thanks.

Does anyone know of any #CommunityScience for #bioacoustic monitoring? Let's say someone owns lands in a rural area or a wildlife coordinator and wanted to establish a bioacoustic monitoring station (potentially long term), what could/should they do?

On our 22+ hour drive north I had lots of time to think. About lots of things ...

A for fun project I've been mulling over is a new "blog" and figured out how I'm going to structure my substack to document our new adventure in NY. We will see how it evolves.

After 22+ emotion filled hours we left what we knew to embrace what we don't (caveat, I grew up in the NE and went to undergrad in the Midwest, so I know most). With 2 dogs, 4 birds and some plants in tow we arrived at our new home. Now we wait for the rest of our stuff to arrive ...

A perfect way for me to practice my swedish ... Plus its technical/science so it gives me an extra challenge.

I love reading about riparian ecosystems ... speciellt på svenska😁
