A closeup on life at the farm right now: first, Ground Ivy and Hairy Bittercress flowers; next a grasshopper; then A SWEET POTATO SEEDLING FROM A TRUE SEED (I’m excited - my first time saving and germinating them); water Spinach or Rau Muong seedling (sweet potato cousin) from my watery patch last year. I started the water spinach from bunches of greens from the Vietnamese supermarket, and then saved their seeds and here we are. Your produce is alive!! #truesweetpotatoseeds #sweetpotatoseedlings #waterspinachseed #waterspinach #ipomoeabatatas #ipomoeaaquatica #groundivyflowers #groundivy #hairybittercress #grasshopper #seedkeeping #sexualreproduction

Ground ivy to be added to my Pokryzwianka (stinging nettle soup). I have this beneficial herb in my yard and truly grateful! This is great as a Spring tonic, appetite stimulator, relieves congestion and inflammation of mucus membranes associated with colds, flu and sinusitis. It is an anti-allergenic, antibacterial, antiflu, antihistaminic, antioxidants, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antiviral, expectorant, immune stimulant, and sedative according to altnature.com/gallery/ground ivy.htm. It can be made into an herbal tea or added to your tea as a blend. #groundivy #groundivyflowers #creepingcharlie #creepingcharlieplant #catsfoot #haymaids #alehoof #edibleweeds #eattheweeds #eattheweedsplease https://www.instagram.com/p/B-h0HbihFJN/?igshid=10mbh8eficd0g
