Our very shy but ubiquitous farm Inhabitant. Has lived here for many years but is still very wary of us. A majestic and beautiful creature.

Just going to say being a new addition to Tornado Alley is not great. This shit is getting old fast.

We propagate elderberry everywhere. We have an abundance so in spring we just wander around sticking cuttings into the ground. Here’s one that’s thriving that is interesting. Under the west side of a fairly large tree right at the base. Curious if it’s flowering will be as vigorous. 🌱🌿 #permaculture

Aronia, black currant and gooseberries are in bloom. The aronia and gooseberries are really taking off after a couple tough years. The currants struggle in the peak of summer but holding on. 🌿🌱#permaculture

The ramps transplanted three years ago are back again. Super excited they are resilient but sad that they are sooooo sloooow to spread. I don’t see any spread at all. I’ll take the small win however of a small bit of ramp leaf butter. Baby steps. 🌿🌱#permaculture

The scarlet quince is establishing nicely. I did not expect the flowers to be so beautiful. Quite a stunning plant. 🌱 🌿#permaculture

Elderberry propagation has begun. Propping along fencing to create edible hedgerow windbreaks. Magnolias are in bloom. As beautiful as they are we harvest in the morning. In the background you can see wild pear w Yellow Huffcapp grafts. The wild has blooms the Huff’s do not. #permaculture 🌿🌱

25 mph wind with 40-50mph gusts all night. No rain just 10 hours of straight line winds. Absolutely insane.
