Weeds of Boise: Boise State University Campus, part two

In part one of this two part series, I introduced you to the Boise State University campus, located in the heart of Boise, Idaho. I’ve been spending the past year walking the campus and cataloging the weeds that I find there. Boise has a fairly mild climate compared to the rest of Idaho, so weeds are generally easy to find just about any time of year. What weeds are present depends on what time…

[headspace-hotel]

you know how people say "cats domesticated themselves?" I find this statement irksome because as i've been studying plants and particularly weeds, a theory has slowly been forming in my head about domestication that makes a lot more sense than other theories.

Basically, I think everything domesticated itself. Or rather, domestication involves adaptation and active participation on both sides.

Evidence for this is found in studying weed and crop plants—truth be told, most weeds are or were also crops.

Amaranthus, the genus that gives us the most costly USA agricultural weeds? All edible and healthy, and several members of the genus are domesticated. They were staple crops for Mesoamerican empires.

Kudzu, the vine so aggressive in the USA it turns trees into looming kudzu monoliths? It's been bred and cultivated by humans since the Neolithic in its native range, in China it was one of the main sources of fiber for cloth for MILLENNIA to the point that the Zhou dynasty had a whole government office of kudzu affairs. Kudzu roots are edible and they can be as tall as a human and weighing over 200 pounds, you can make them into flour, make noodles out of the flour, you can process them down into a starch and use it just like potato or tapioca starch and make all sorts of sauces and confections and stuff out of it. In Japan it was used for clothes too, if you see pictures of clothes worn by a samurai that's probably kudzu! It has loads of unresearched phytochemicals that probably have medicinal use, it's good for making paper, a researcher even made a biodegradable alternative to plastic out of it

Yellow Nutsedge is a food crop, Purslane is a food crop, at least some species of morning-glories are food crops, crabgrass is a food crop, Nettles are food AND fiber, Milkweed is food and fiber too, Broadleaf Plantain is food and medicinal, Dandelion is food and medicinal AND great companion plant (they used to sell them in seed catalogues around the 1890's or so!) and have y'all ever seen queen-anne's-lace along the side of the road? THATS CARROTS. That's the wild ancestor of carrots! (ofc don't eat anything you aren't 1000% sure you can identify)

Simply put. A weed is a plant that has co-evolved with humans. And most of them are Like That because they co-evolved with us. And honestly I reckon that many plants were domesticated in the first place because they liked to grow in disturbed environments near human settlements and agricultural fields.

Now thinking about this in terms of animals...when our domestic species were first domesticated, there weren't fences, there wasn't "inside" or any controlled environment to bring animals into, and if you tried to overpower or coerce any of those species, they would 100% just kill you. It makes a lot more sense if the humans were just following herds around, and it gradually developed into protecting those herds from predators and tending to them more intentionally until we were kind of just part of the herds ourselves.

a lot of people are familiar with Biblical stories and metaphors about shepherds...it's clear those guys were basically living with sheep 24/7. They were assimilated to the sheep lifestyle.

this theory kinda suggests that we've lost the ability to domesticate new animal species to some extent because domestication has never really involved removing an animal from its natural environment. Feeding wild animals and trying to socialize them to humans isn't in line with the mutualistic nature of domestication because it's trying to change the animal to our whims, and usually decreases the fitness of the animal rather than increases it. And domestication probably takes a long long time to reach the level where an animal can be a "pet" instead of a more distant form of domestication where the association is not as close.

EXCEPT. Animals that adapt to our environment are prime candidates for domestication. This actually checks out because rats and mice are some of the most recently domesticated animals, iirc. Basically, pest animals are the most likely to be domesticated because they've already started evolving into a relationship with us. Just like weeds.

An interesting side note is how both animals and plants can de-domesticate and become "weeds/pests" again. Like "weedy rice" is becoming a problem in some crops where rice has evolved into a weed. And with animals, there's pigeons who were domesticated by us and now their habitat is cities because they co-evolved with us.

@burningsky for: send “📔” to read an entry from my muse’s diary about your muse (accepting)

I saw Daniel today at the Writers’ Conference. How is he, you wonder? He has a lovely wife, although I never got to see her — I imagine love is relatively similar to Alice in Wonderland. That is: falling down the rabbit hole?

Sherry says he’s ‘Danger D’ on account of “unmentionable habits”, and would like me to keep my distance.

I’d be very happy to share my stash with him, mano a mano, as it were. 

Does he read my novels? It'd mean a lot to me... He’s award-winning, and I think he smiled when he saw me today — I’d proffered him an Old Fashioned garnished with an orange peel.

I've always wanted to be him.

That said: he has these eyes that turn lavender in the light. How fond of flowers is he, do you reckon?

It's quiet tonight, and I’d like to invite him for a drink. I leave you with this:

The man appeared through the cottonwood grove and stood over the rider until he blotted out the angry red sun and it seemed as though blinking. At some last reckoning the rider lied wondering if he had dreamt him and as he turned cold within the thatches of nutsedge and thistles he peered into the man's eyes until the ship of heaven sailed on all anight into eternity, and under the setting of the sun he dreamt no more.

sorry if this comes off as an odd question, but ive been wondering for a while now- whos the character in your icon? i keep thinking its a hisuian zoroark but i have the feeling thats extremely wrong lol

Her name is nutsedge, she's a jerboa, and she's a character from the nature of nature's art webcomic story, secretary. I don't really recommend all of the arcs of nofna to the everyday person but this one is very very good. Be warned it's pretty gorey!! The writing can also be kind of abstract, just in general. Secretary I find one of the more straightforward stories however

(via THE TIGER NUT)

THE TIGER NUT

          INTRODUCTION.

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus), also known as earth almond, chufa, or yellow nutsedge, is a perennial sedge belonging to the Cyperaceae family. It is native to the Mediterranean region and parts of Africa, but has been widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas around the world.

Tiger nut plants typically grow to a height of 30-60 cm (12-24 inches) and have a fibrous root system. The stems are triangular in cross-section and bear narrow, grass-like leaves. The flowers are small and inconspicuous, arranged in clusters at the tips of the stems,... Continue reading...

another little nofna style emulation comic i drew a bit ago that was primarily about why something can "look like words" when it isn't... it is possibly Legend's first time considering the involuntary nature of reading words. she can rationally know that she isn't looking at writing, but her mind continues to see words that she must try to decipher.

the comic ended up getting side-tracked, but i kind of just let these comics go where they go. it is the nofna spirit.

PS and Legend have probably only spoken several times at this point, as classmates. in my head, this is their first season of classes, and they have only just recently proceeded from practicing handwriting and making letters to writing out spoken word.

i imagine that letters and writing are not intuitive at all to people who haven't grown up with it. Legend knew how to read well before entering school. PS has not really internalized that letters represent sounds. she has seen her teacher or classmates speak words as they're writing lines, and later, other people can tell the words that were spoken while writing the lines. her penmanship is naturally excellent, and prior to this module, she was praised by her teacher lavishly.

i imagine that because MOST RODENTS become markscrafts, and rodents tend to be rather... prolific... in number. that classes for this profession would be fucking huge.

the teacher cannot individually dedicate attention to every struggling student, so the first practice is to pair two struggling students together who seem like they compensate each others' shortcomings and see if they can rehabilitate their grades together.

if students continue to fail despite peer review, that is probably the time where a teacher would talk to them privately or recommend a tutor, etc.

the classes also function by a "revise and resubmit" principle over an "extra credit" principle as it is the most direct way for students to figure out what they did wrong and the least amount of extra work for the professor.

their professor is a mouse; a tried to write the grade print small (called "mouseprint" in the canon).

PS's language here is very rough and strange; i imagine she has, at the VERY most, been exposed to common for only a year. she is maybe ~15-16 in age, psychologically. ever since i made her as a character, i assumed one of her core traits was a low drive to do work. she became a markscraft SPECIFICALLY because she did not want to put in the work to earn prestige or more credit. she picked the easiest possible career for her.

as a younger mind, and only recently introduced to the idea that she has to perform labor or GTFO society, her dislike of work is very obvious and she is not reserved about sharing it. she came from a life where she could volunteer to do small tricks for high value treats if she felt like it, and this life is comparatively brutal and demanding in her mind.

Legend's corsage is red star (Rhodohypoxis baurii) and PS's Leaf is a leaf from a large pineapple lily.

Legend is, conversely, probably 18-20 psychologically. idk, the ages are very weird with these animals. i've imagined her parents as highly Civilized people like XX's mother, but a little less strict. while many citizens of society hate wild people (presumably because many of them are serial killers who might serial kill them), not all of them do (example: nutsedge, who sympathizes with a Wild Hawk killing her classmates), and i imagined Legend's parents impressing into her rather strongly that she did not earn being born into a well-off family and physically gifted species.

of course, this didn't stop her from forming a superiority complex towards rodents anyway-- but, i think she's tolerating a significant amount of Weirdness from PS here that she extremely would not tolerate from someone she didn't assume was wild-integrating-into-society, from the constant touching, to the rude openness, the disdain for work ethic, the odd language usage, and the outfit that's essentially showing up to the study session in pasties and booty shorts.

it seems that in these stories, the animals attain a "fluent" level of speech in common relatively quickly (emancipation, secretary), somewhat influenced by natural talent; i think PS has a brute force spaghetti-against-the-wall approach that lets her just mimic as many phrases that she thinks are novel as possible. usually this is an option only available to toddlers who lack the self-awareness to feel embarrassment about constant awkward linguistic mistakes, but PS also has no cultural priming to be embarrassed of the behavior. you can see her parroting various things she's heard, such as "sooo much" as an emphasis phrase, and even "essentially" after Legend says it in passing. other more abstract phrases such as "with credit" or "okay" i imagine she knows simply by being exposed to them over and over again.

when the two get into deeper levels of literacy and markscraft classes, i imagine that Legend's knowledge of grammar and Big Words in general, combined with an ability to verbally express usually unwritten rules in the language, helped propel PS to a level of fluency that has her speaking like she was raised with it 99% of the time.

#2171 - Cyperus sp. - Flatsedge

AKA papyrus sedges, nutsedges, umbrella-sedges and galingales. There are roughly 700 species of flatsedge found worldwide - most grow in shallow, slow moving water. This one was growing on the side of the road, with no sign of standing water.

The "true" papyrus sedge of Ancient Egypt, C. papyrus subsp. hadidii, is now very rare to habitat loss. For a while it was feared extinct. Cyperus rotundus on the other hand is one of the most invasive weeds known, having spread to tropical and temperate regions worldwide.

Is Tenacity (Mesotrione) Pre-Emergent Recommended?

What is Mesotrione? Mesotrione is an active ingredient used to kill weeds both pre and post-emergent. If you have been anywhere on YouTube looking for lawn care tips on getting rid of weeds, you have seen videos talking about it. Probably what you have seen is the brand name, Tenacity. Tenacity is the brand name, Mesotrione is the active ingredient. Nowadays, there are generics available that are much cheaper, such as this 8oz bottle of Meso 4SC. Do not buy it until you read this entire email because I’m going to tell you who should use it, when to use it, and what results to expect. Mesotrione (Tenacity) For Warm-Season Turf First and foremost, I want to stress that Mesotrione is mostly NOT for warm-season turf. If you read the label, you will see that the only warm-season turf listed is Centipede. St Augustine grass is also listed, but that is on sod farms only, not residential turf. Even if it was labeled for St Augustine residential turf, there aren’t enough warm-season weeds that it controls to make it worth the investment. As a pre-emergent, it’s not too effective either. So don’t be tempted to waste money on this product, even if you see people in other groups breaking the label and using it on warm-season turf. The value isn’t there. As mentioned, it is labeled for use in Centipede grass. In this case, its post-emergent properties in dealing with Crabgrass, Goosegrass, and Barnyardgrass can be useful. If you are dealing with any of those problem weedy grasses and you have Centipede grass, then Mesotrione is a good choice. If you have other weed problems over and above, there are much better alternatives. As a pre-emergent, Mesotrione is only used at times of seeding. It is not a good pre-emergent for established lawns as it doesn’t last very long. It’s not a replacement for Prodiamine or Dithiopyr in your pre-emergent strategy. Pre-Emergent – Mesotrione for Cool-Season Turf For cool-season turf, Mesotrione is an effective tool, especially in the fall time when you may be thinking about seeding your lawn. That’s because Mesotrione is a pre-emergent herbicide that can be applied right alongside your grass seed and it will help to keep weeds from growing and competing with your seed but it will NOT harm your seed. The key here is that you have to apply Mesotrione BEFORE your grass seed germinates. If you apply once it’s germinated and starting growing, Mesotrione will harm it. This is why I always recommend using Mesotrione as a pre-emergent with your seeding and to apply it on the same day as you seed, then water it in. Don’t wait. Mesotrione will give you a good 3-4 weeks of pre-emergent protection which is plenty of time for your new grass to get growing and begin defending itself. Mesotrione is NOT a replacement for Prodiamine or Dithiopyr in established lawns. It doesn’t last long enough and will not perform as well in existing turf. Always keep in mind, the usefulness of Mesotrione as a pre-emergent is only in conjunction with seeding. Post-Emergent – Mesotrione for Cool-Season Turf Mesotrione is also an effective post-emergent weed control and if you purchased some because you needed it during your seeding project, then you probably have some leftover. If that is the case, then go ahead and use it up. It will kill lots of weeds that you face including dandelion and clover and is also good on weedy grasses like Crabgrass, Goosegrass, Creeping Bentgrass, Annual Bluegrass andBarnyardgrass. It also does pretty well on Yellow Nutsedge. Just remember, if you are going to use it AFTER you have seeded, you need to wait for 3-4 mowings or 30 days after germination. I’ve always considered Mesotrione to be a “specialty herbicide” meaning, it’s used when you have identified a specific issue in the lawn that only Mesotrione can address. This goes back to those weedy grasses. If you specifically have issues with Creeping Bentgrass for example, then purchasing Mesotrione is a good idea. However, if your primary weed problems come from broadleaf weeds like Creeping Charlie, Henbit, Spurge, and Plantain, then there are better, cheaper alternatives like Speed Zone which contains 4 active ingredients instead of just 1. In other words, Mesotrione isn’t a “general purpose” weed control for the most part. It’s used in specialty situations such as when you are seeding or when you face a specific problem like Creeping Bentgrass. Outside of that, it’s best to choose something else and save the money. I’ll be talking a lot more about this subject and many others relating to fall-time weed control, seeding, and pre-emergent.
