I recently have gotten REALLY into crocheting, and I made a beanie and a sweater! The sweater pattern is by AutumnOlive and the beanie is by VivCrochets. I want to make another sweater or cardigan using AutumnOlive’s pattern, since I absolutely love their designs. Hoping to keep making more stuff!

Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) flowers under the half moon. This tree fixes atmospheric nitrogen in the soil and bears a massive amount of tart sweet fruit that has up to 18 times more lycopene than tomatoes. The other day, the Preserve Manager from Natural Lands Trust was passing by (one of their preserves butts up against the field where I grow) and told me this tree from East Asia and Russia produces fruits with a very low fat content just before winter, so if our native birds choose to eat these fruits they will not fatten up enough for a cold winter. It made me think about our diets and how we rarely eat what our ancestors ate OR what is in season where we live, and that probably weakens us too. Well, meanwhile I’m determined to get these berries before the birds this year. #elaeagnusumbellata #autumnolive #autumnoliveflowers (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

Things are buddin’ & bloomin’ down at the rainsoak at the bottom of the driveway 🤗 . Autumn Olive beginning to bud, mole poblano sage continues to bloom & blow out the color balance of my camera, & the 3 different types of mint are rippling along the surface everywhere, ready to explode 🥳 . I call it a rainsoak, but really we don’t get much rain—yesterday & today will probably count for 10-20% of our raindays this year 😢 . Don’t forget to plant pollinators that bloom over winter! They’re #BeeUtiful & the hummingbirds are very appreciative & all abuzz about them 🤓👍 . #SpringIsComing #BerryGoodBuds #AutumnOlive #Berries #MolePoblano #Salvia #Sage #Mint #RainGarden #WinterGardening #NorCal #Zone9bGardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSInh1AXQ9/?igshid=edqw6ikhsqoj

“A weed is no more than a flower in disguise” -Jame Lowell Thank you everyone that came out on the cool day yesterday for a forage walk! I’m so glad we were able to harvest a lot of autumn olive and identify and harvest multiple species of mushrooms 🍄 #autumnolive #chickenofthewoods #maitake #henofthewoods #honeymushrooms https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo71jDtB9QD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jji1f8y1bw9j

We have a ton of Autumn Olive on our land. It has been a thorn in our side trying to clear the land of this super prolific plant so we can use it for other purposes. In the mean time they are making beautiful berries late in the season, perfect for jams and cider making. #growyourownfood #berries #autumnolive #foraging #wildcraft #regenerativeagriculture #permaculture #homebrew #cider #farmlife #oakandhoneyfarm
