Seeding sweet Joe Pye weed in small riparian woodland restoration. Seeds from my yard. In addition to tossing seeds by hand, I like to stick a few of the seed heads in trees to kinda mimic how they might naturally disperse. #nativeplants

Working lately in a small restoration that has a good population of tick-trefoils. Upside is seeing #nativeplants thrive. Downside is I can never seem to get all the sticktight seeds off my clothes & find them all over. These were on a kitchen placemat & a bed sheet (with some dog hair).

Dug up a small piece of a brome grass field to prep it for seeding some prairie plants. The soil is not great, so I added a bit of the biochar I made this summer.
