Hey guys, I've been laying low, recovering from surgeries done on my right hand & elbow. I had planted a TON of seeds before my surgery date, so now I'm taking care of seedlings & sprouts & plants. 😁🌱🌿 the bell flower seeds I foraged last year only sprouted yesterday! Such patience! I love seeing everyone's real spring pics! It's been melting SO MUCH up here lately, I love it! The streets and sidewalks are mostly clear! ❤️ So, I took the kids biking yesterday, one-handed for the most part, which kinked out my hips, but it was totally worth it. We all felt the breeze & freedom that comes with biking! I also saw green clovers popping up!! ☘️☘️ later that evening, I noticed the raised beds were nearly clear of snow!! Aaaaaaaand it's snowing this morning. 🌨 Of course the kids are bummed, but I told them it would melt. Continued why's get the "because we're in Alaska. April is guaranteed snow showers, May is maybe." For the gardeners, if we didn't get to the beds yesterday (One neighbor had hers cleaned up!), we've gotta wait another few days. P.S. I've been keeping up with my journal, even left-handed for a few pages. Our sunset is at 9:15pm today! Curious to hear other sunset times! 🌞

Made a delicious chickweed salad with wild violets flowers and greens, spring onions, and fresh eggs🥹 it was delicious and I'll definitely be adding this to the meal rotation ☘️

Hi, I'm Su I live in the north of the UK, so there will be many plants which those of you living in the USA will have I will never see in the wild and vice versa. Hoping to learn and share experiences. Its early spring here, buds just starting to open. Yesterday, we (husband gets involved too!) went on a long walk in heavy rain to get to some young wild garlic, and also found sufficient wild primrose to pick 3 flowers to make into a tea. The primrose tea didn't have much of a taste at all but was very astringent. Going to get some gluten free flour today and hopefully make some garlic scones later.

I just published the Eco-Punk Personality quiz to the "Classroom" tab - it's open to everyone - so I wanna know - WHAT KIND OF ECO-PUNK ARE YOU???

Hey Y'all 🤗 🐥Look at this Violet 🤩 so full of personality and beauty! Can't wait to draw that one! Oh, and this one with the striped violet and a lil red spider 😍 So, we had a high of 74°F yesterday and after a very windy/stormy night, we have our current high of 34° 🥶 All this fluctuating weather has caused my joints to hurt more and I've had trouble getting things done here lately. Still workin' on journaling and planting, just more slowly than I'd prefer. 💞
