learning about plants in ur area is wild. like you also learn about the histories of the plants. Like oh! Thats garlic mustard! That was brought over from europe as a crop! it smells just like garlic and you can cook with it! And thats yarrow! Its been used for tons of stuff and pollinators love it! Oh hey! Thats hemlock! They killed Socrates with that!
Ugh these turtles are doing such a good job

Building a treehouse is the biggest insult to a tree. “I killed your friend, here hold him.”
“Friend”
Its more of I killed a potential enemy. Hold his dismembered corpse in victory.
Plants don’t wage war
Ever heard of blackberries?
Yes, plants do wage war
Mint and strawberries, too. They need to be quarantined or they will kill basically everything else.
I planted mint in the ground 2 years ago.
It’s currently fighting a bitter battle to the death against the raspberries attempting to invade from the east while trying to annex the patio.
Could go either way at this point TBH. Unless, of course, I take a shovel and the blowtorch out there and battle both back to within their original boundaries.
And anyone wondering if a blowtorch is overkill for weeding back mint has never actually planted mint.
This post did not go where I expected it to.
Our garden plot at my childhood home slowly got overrun by wild blackberries after we stopped managing it while my sister and I were in nursing school. And by overrun I mean it was like a 4 foot tall thicket of wild blackberries. It hadn’t been touched by humans in at least 4 years. I started the ultimately futile task of trying to clear this plot with a machete and discovered to my amazement a patch of mint several feet across underneath the canopy of blackberry, still fighting the good fight all those years later.
Ultimately it took two jars of homemade napalm and some creative fire placement to clear that patch but I damn sure saved that patch of mint. It earned the right to be there.
Yall mother fuckers don’t even talk unless you’ve had to wage war on kudzu (it’s an ivy strain directly from Hell) that shit doesn’t just wage war with other plants, it wages war with all living things on planet earth. It’s some gnarly ass Blood for the Blood God, Chlorophyll for the Chlorophyll Throne demon weed.
Can second the comments of Kudzu.
I forget where I read it but there’s this one tree that creates an extremely flammable substance that’s in both the bark and leaves. Dead trees become torches and crushed up leaves become dust-incendiary, all while the plant’s seeds are Giant Redwood levels of resilient to open flame. IE it has a goddamn scorched earth policy. It’s even more badass than plants that use toxins to starve other plants.
I’d like to third the comments on Kudzu. These are the battlefields:
See those weird pillars? Those were trees. See that strange lump in the middle? That was a house. Everything green you see in this photo is kudzu.
Kudzu is an apocalyptic nightmare
They smother every other living plant to death
Those trees under there are dead, they can’t get sunlight. Kudzu takes over and steals everything from these trees, and becomes them. It’s creepy as hell. These plants are basically straight out of a horror novelist’s wet dream tbh.
The bodies of everything the kudzu has slain.
What used to be a house
Someone attempting to drive a four wheeler through it, to give you scale
It’s an ornamental plant kept in check in china, but was introduced to north america where it immediately went rampant and began to spread incredibly fast like a disease, destroying everything in its wake
The ONLY thing that has stopped this curse from engulfing the united states is goats. Apparently goats love this stuff like no tomorrow. Everywhere we find it now, we just bring a horde of goats to cut it down. Everything is fine…. for now.
Kudzu is on time magazine’s top 10 invasive species to look out for.
This little buddy doing his part
Not to keep spamming this post but
“the growth of kudzu as it became a “structural parasite” of the South,[7] enveloping entire structures when untreated[11] and often referred to as “the vine that ate the South”.[13]”
“It has been spreading rapidly in the southern U.S., “easily outpacing the use of herbicide spraying and mowing, as well increasing the costs of these controls by $6 million annually”.[2]“
yall it’s been estimated this plant consumes 600 kilometers of the united states every year
it’s been suggested that we just start eating it to make it go away
Adding to the spam: yes, kudzu IS edible. In fact, all parts of it but the vine are edible. The leaves are supposedly great in salads or baked into quiche. The flowers supposedly are great in jam. The roots… Well, if you know how to cook other root vegetables, you know what to do with kudzu root. Feed this stuff to your livestock and cook it.
Eat it before it eats your house.
@solarpunkcast @solarpunkactionweek @solarpunkinspo @enviropunk feels relevant
In this world it’s eat or be eaten
I dunno what kind of barbarian-ass mint you guys are planting, all the mint I plant goes leggy and scabby and then dies.
She's just so perfect :')

babies :)
Guess what I got for Christmas!!!!!! Aaaaahhhhhhhhh
Some close ups of various lithops ❤️
Here’s Jasna, my Sansevieria Trifasciata “zeylanica” with her three tiny babies!
An assortment of houseplants: sansevieria, African violet cutting, lithops, lace fern, and echeveria baby.
Ok guys hear me out: plants. Fuckign plants. We love them. We stan plants. There’s been such boom for houseplants, and it is the greatest.
But what is even more great? NERDING OUT OVER PLANTS. Girl. Like, I went to a design market today, there was an entire section for houseplants, and tbh every single vendor nerded out with me over plants. It is the single best thing in the world. They’ll be like, oh, what do you think of this pepperomia?, I’ll be like YES I HAVE ONE, IT IS MY MOST BEUTIFUL PURPLE GOTH CHILD WHOMST IVE ALMOST KILLED and immediately they’ll be like I KNOW THEY’RE SO FUSSY an I’ll be like I KNOW RIGHT and then I’ll notice a plant I have not obtained yet and sparkles light up in eyes and the vendor will be like oh this, it’s a scindapsus variegata and immediately i’ll be like me SCINDAPSUS IS A GOOD BOY and they’ll be like OH SO U KNOW HIM and I’ll say YES BUT NOT VARIEGATED, I’LL TAKE IT, GOD DAMNIT.
Plants just, like… sit there, yet we rejoice in learning about them, having them thrive, attributing personality traits to them, albeit occasionally killing them. It is the best and purest feeling in the entire world, and I’ll punch anyone who says otherwise
It thinks it’s a Thanksgiving cactus.
