Trending plant of the season, lyreleaf sage.

Support it and the others which supports native bees. LLS is great in salads as well as teas.

It’s a welcome native and an important part of prairie culture.

Numbers! It’s all in the numbers. How many more pollinators can you attract and feed? How many more worms can you support? How many more people can you convince to convert their lawns to productive pollinator beds and hyper local food access?

Took this photo on 1-5-2025 in the a.m.. These herbs and veggies have survived 2 hard frosts thus far in early winter. The next 10 nights will be at or below 26 degrees for multiple hours. I’m curious how these seed saved plants will do. They have a great memory of previous years of cold so fingers crossed for stronger plants in late February.

These hot peppers where the last to be harvested for the year 2024. There are still four times this amount drying on the stem in the greenhouse. We will grind them into flakes and use in our culinary kitchen and some will be pulverized into a powder for insect and critter control. Twas a great season for peppers overall.
