Spaceship Earth (Ecoregion 65n)

Hey #nativeplants #Baltimore and #AACoPosts friends. If you want to come to the seed share in a week you can post your wishlist and what you're bringing here. I have definitely brought stuff because someone wishlisted it before so think about it! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

What’s Blooming in SoCal? #California brittlebush (Encelia farinosa). Good on slopes for erosion. Butterfly & bird plant. First one of the season. Hoping that the 8 1/2” of rain will bring more early bloomers. #nativeplants

🌿 We could use a helping hand at Monarch Park
www.forestr.org/monarch/

If you’re available this Monday or Wednesday from 3–5pm, we’d be truly grateful to have you join us as we spread mulch throughout the park to prepare the soil for new native plants and milkweed. 🦋

Closeup of the leaves if the Prayer plant. Lovely designs and scoops.

This Prayer plant is just vibing under the Growing light.

Soon it'll need a new home!

That plant looks awesome

A little free library

Helped put up a little free library #littlefreelibrary #maryland #library

Our forests at Woodend are looking beautiful as the trees prepare for winter!

Their leaves are turning all shades of yellow, orange, and red.

Check out how different native species look and are changing colors, and keep an eye out for them on your next walk before fall is over!

Right, the sanctuary reefs cannot be harvested.

Kids looking at the oyster cage

Gross oyster cage

Save the bay!

We cleaned native baby oyster cages yesterday (needs to be done every two weeks to keep the oysters healthy). The oysters will stay in the cage for a year, and then be "planted" (oystered?) at sites around the bay. #savethebay #chesapeakebay #oyster #oystergarden

Luckily, I haven't had a stinkbug. Had a tree frog, and a cricket in the past.

I moved my houseplants back inside and found a stowaway #snail 🌱 #gardening #houseplants #macro

What made these? #wood #bugs #insects #entomology #patterns

Good ideas. It's kind of a shame there's not a higher quality covering (like yurt canvas?) for these things.

Chicken run with greenhouse cover.

Greenhouse/chicken run combo from the back side

Valencia orange trees planted in the dirt behind and protected with a chicken wire fence

It's getting chilly around here, so the chicken run will be serving a dual purpose as a greenhouse. I planted two valencia orange trees to make use of the chicken fertilizer. #backyardchickens 🌱 #permaculture #silvopasture #agroforestry #compost #fruit #fruittrees #homegrown #eggs #forest #trees

Sunbeams through smoke and trees. Sun is centered on the tree and is emanating sunbeams.

Stephen Flynn, the Scottish National Party MP for Aberdeen South, said he couldn't meet with Trump today because he was busy washing his hair. Y'all. This is Stephen Flynn. (Picture of bald guy.)

So good

A chicken run with a chicken coop inside

I used more zip ties on this than any other project #backyardchickens #chickens #chickenrun #chickencoop #chickenofthewoods

Do you think the inventor of zip ties wears a zip tie belt? Zip tie tie? Zip tie sandals? I would be clothed head to toe in zip ties
