Growing your own tomatoes really is the best way to devote 3 months of your life to saving $2.17 #Garden #Gardening #Plants


The lesser short-nosed fruit #bat (Cynopterus brachyotis). It is a small bat that lives in South Asia and Southeast #Asia. It occurs in many types of habitats, but most frequently in disturbed forests, including lower montane forests and tropical lowland rain forests, plus gardens, mangroves, and vegetation on beaches.

Willow oak acorns, Quercus phellos 1/

Surprisingly delicious!

After cold processing, they taste like the smell of fresh hay, wheat and hulled sunflower seeds.

With heat processing, they taste like walnuts with a tinge of bitterness.

This thread demonstrates how to cold-process the acorns and different ways of using them. Read the AltText for more details.

Black background, sitting on a sturdy brown woodblock is a silver bowl filled to the brim with pea-green little acorns. Some still have their grey caps while others have fallen off to reveal bright sunflower-yellow tops. So cheery! 
Black dish, black background, three white camellia flowers triangulate the composition on the dish. Six small pancakes the size of cookies are arranged in neat rows. Three on the top, two in the middle and one at the bottom. An inverted pyramid. On top of the of the mini pancakes is a dollop of red sauce. The pancakes have been fizzled in diagonal streaks of green sauce. Yuzu zest sprinkles complete this serene image.

Acorns change flavour the longer they are heated so I made these pancakes very small so they'd only need to be cooked for one minute on either side. They were really good. 

The red sauce was just rando fruit and veg at the moment in the garden, mad hatter peppers, yuzu juice, queen of minalco tomatillo, strawberry, and tiny bit of ketchup, pinch salt and sugar. Very tasty.

Green sauce was sissoo leaf powder, vegan yogurt, pinch salt and sugar and later mixed a bit of water for drizzle-ability.
On a black plate, branches of reddening maple leaves, still partly green, emerge from the top left and bottom right of the image. Centred in a diagonal from bottom left to upper right are colourful potatoes, chopped in quarters and splayed out like flowers. A yellow potato, a purple potato and a white potato. On top middle top of the potatoes, like the head of a flower is a round dollop of acorn miso sauce. Surrounding the potatoes are flattened spheres of sissoo-ezu. 

This version of sissoo-ezu was basically, dried sissoo leaves ground to powder and mixed with silken tofu and tiny bit of mustard and vinegar. Black dish, black background, a pink candy-stripe camellia illuminates from the top right. Below, ccentred on the dish are mustard yellow, thickly cut noodles arranged neatly, except for a few artfully curved for dramatic effect. A young verdant moringa leaf adorns the noodles with a borage flower, like a blue star twinkling brightly at its base. The image is restive and serene. 

The noodles are made from ground and mushed acorns with soba flour. It is entirely gluten-free. The combination of soba (buckwheat) and acorn tastes remarkably like wheat.


Katuk, Sauropus androgynus 1/ Care and cooking thread. See comments for more details.

An easy edible perennial plant you can take for granted. Bring indoors in winter.

Taste: nutty, with a lightly green finish. High in protein and v&m.

Good fresh: salads, juiced, sauces, soups, curries
Good dried: sauces, soups, curries, powdered for flours in dough/batter.

A very verdant leafy green shrub in a half-barrel. The shrub grows by layering more layers of compound leaves. It looks like green version of cousin Itt from Addams Family.
In a white suribachi bowl is dried ground katuk leaves with a green-dyed wooden pestle. The leaves are pea green colored.


Dwarf moringa, Moringa oleifera 1/

Taste
Fresh: faintly bitter and green in a good way
Dried: less bitter, still “green,” but more tea-like

Care is a bit tricky. See thread.

An explosion of green. From a chopped trunk in a blue pot barely visible, moringa “leaves” flare out. Moringa leaves are compound, often tripinnately. White background, white dish rimmed with silver are two triangular onigiri wrapped with daylily petals and nori so that it looks like a flame. There is a whole daylily flower in the background on the plate. Also on the plate is a scattering of purple mizuna, chopped into sprinkles and a fresh frond of luminescently green moringa leaves. 

Inside the onigiri is browned maitake mushrooms and the mizuna leaves added after the maitake finished cooling after frying.
On a flat glass dish whose undersides are sculpted into bubbles to reflect light is a bed of bright green moringa leaves. Also among the moringa is some baby fennel and okahijiki like tiny soft bunches of green twigs. Sitting on this nest of verdancy is an explosion of oranges, reds and yellows and whites like a star or fireworks explosion. The explosion of colors come from lightly pickled daikon, carrot and daylily petals. The root vegetables are shaped like the long daylily petals. On top of the explosion is delicate sprig of baby moringa leaves. Blue background. Pink, blue, grey ceramic plate. On the plate is a freshly snipped Malabar spinach leaf and a moringa frond of leaves on top. Sitting on the leaves is a broiled square of tofu, nicely browned. It is drizzled with soy pickled peppercress seeds. It looks scrumptious. It was.


#NatureServe, which curates #biodiversity data from across #Canada 🇨🇦 and the #United #States 🇺🇸 estimates that “40% of #animals and 34% of #plants in the #USA are at risk of #extinction, while 41% of #ecosystems are facing #collapse.”

Each extinction is forever, and can create an unfillable #functional gap in an ecosystem.

Collapse begets collapse - of ecosystems, #ecosystem #services, and #societies. We are collectively on a #dangerous track.

"The residents of the Swiss canton of Valais are used to seeing their mountainsides covered with snow in winter and edelweiss flowers in summer. But as global heating intensifies, they are increasingly finding an invasive species colonising the slopes: cacti."

There are lots of hot colours in the garden right now. So, forgive me if I indulge myself with a bit of macro fun!

* Canna 'Tropicanna Black'
* Dahlia 'Bishop of Auckland'
* Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'...I think...
* Leucospermum 'Crown Orange'

Some vertical photos, and more details in the #AltText - and in the reply down below...

A bright red Canna flower against a bright blue morning sky, almost shocking in the contrast between the colours Close up of a helenium flower, with yellow petals speckled red, and rings of stamens around the centre of the flower.
Extreme close up on the "feathery bits" (that's the technical term) around the centre of a Dahlia flower. They look like pairs of feathers (or maybe jaws open wide?) coming from stems that appear from between the petals and flower's centre. Close up of a leucospermum flower, which looks like a collection of orange cotton buds that curve out, then back in to meet others toward the middle, overall roughly resembling a crown shape

Color shot of a curved green plant stem with tiny drops of water from the morning dew on it, creating a wonderfully even pattern, a spiral (like that of a snowflake). Perhaps a dandelion, still without flower.


Hi everyone, I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself! I'm an #illustrator and #author specializing in all things #cute #whimsical and at least a bit #peculiar.

🌱 Mis plantitas del macetohuerto ya empiezan a florecer. Me ha alegrado mucho la tarde ver esos capullitos de flores asomando... ☺️

🌺 Además me está creciendo un geranio. El año pasado tuve uno pero en otra maceta y acabó muriendo, ¡así que debe de ser su hijo! Qué ganas de que crezca y ver qué colores saca.

Y también qué ganas de empezar a comerme lo demás... 🤤

Fresas floreciendo Tomates floreciendo

No idea what plant this is but it is common around here. It doesn't have any leaves as it is winter but still beautiful

These frozen leaves look like a glass sculpture 🍃🥶🧊❄️

Someone wants attention 😄
This flowering plant growing taller than rest of the plants in the prairie.

Found these red wild berries 🍒 on a trail a few months ago

Can anyone help me identify this plant pest/disease? These things are covering the underside of every leaf of the plant and I'm not sure how to go about treating this thing.
