Honestly, things aren't running smoothly as expected earlier due to multiplication of tasks, there is also not enough money to integrate the horticulture and #MarketGardening systems we aimed at initially!

But we have hope because the cassava, coffee, bananas and the fruit trees planted are already growing!

Due to water scasity, we were not able to #plant veggies. But we shall plant them as soon as we fix the rain water harvesting problem

Best,

The #redclover #Trifolium #pratense (#Faboideae) is a common #plant in Central Europe, growing on nutrient-rich #meadows. It is native to Europe, Western Asia, and Northwest Africa, but was introduced to North/South America a long time ago. It is #pollinated bumblebees/bees with long proboscis. It is #parasitized by, i.a., #seedweevils of the genus Tychius. A weevil of may be this taxon, is visible in my #photos. #Biodiversity

An Castán (2010);

Well, well, well, back to the archives for a moment here as I don't have any new "products"!
This was a vertical panorama (handheld) I've shot in Ireland back in 2010 (my 2nd visit), and it's a remake actually. Here, I've actually removed much of the background and saved the file as GIF with the transparency. Now, most platforms would exchange the transparency to a solid color (either black or white) so I'm guessing it's the same here, unfortunately.

Ragwort, Jacobaea vulgaris. A picture of this plant on a FB group will attract scores of uninvited posts giving stupid advice and spouting lies about it killing horses and needing gloves to handle and other hate speech. If horses are made to eat this stuff, either by starvation (shit grazing) or trickery (dried in silage) then it will ultimately kill them. Otherwise they avoid it. They are experts in which plants to eat. #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower #BloomScrolling

Very productive day today.

Potted on my rose cuttings and sweet peppers, fitted more trellises for ivy, and ive got a plan for another railway sleeper flower bed!

Also potted on my josterberry cuttings. 10 internet points to the first person who can tell me what they.

As well as all that I finished painting the dining room.

Beer time!

Trees are flowers too! This one's an Ash I think, with a clump of Gorse at it's foot. It's a field boundary tree, growing on an old fence line.There are lots of these, I'm wondering if they are the remnants of Wood Pasture where the trees in the field were cleared for more grazing/crops? I'm pleased to say Wood Pasture is making a bit of a comeback round our way, as it's VERY good for the cattle. and there are grants!
