Bush foods are on the menu of fancy restaurants everywhere, but Clarence has some tips for growing your own. And if you’re short of space don’t worry – many edible native plants are perfectly suited to growing in containers.
Clarence is combining a few plants in a large 50cm pot – you need something at least 40cm across to give plants room to grow. The plastic pot will then sit inside a more ornamental holding pot, which will also help insulate the inner pot from the direct sun.
The pot is filled with a premium potting mix that will provide good drainage and nutrition. For some natives, especially those in the Proteaceae family, a low-phosporous mix is essential, but for the plants Clarence has chosen, any premium mix is suitable.
As a central feature plant, Clarence has chosen a favourite – Cinnamon myrtle, which is related to lemon myrtle. Both can be used to make a herbal tea; simply cover 1-2 leaves with hot water and allow to steep. The leaves can also be used in baking and even curries. Both trees also originate from rainforests along Australia’s east coast, so need protection from hot afternoon sun. As a small tree, is will get quite large in the pot but can be kept small by regular pruning; trim back to just above a leaf node to encourage more leaf growth.
Next in the pot is Midyim berry (Austromyrtus dulcis). It has pretty white star-shaped flowers, but its main attraction is the fruit that develop from these. Clarence describes their taste as a mix between cinnamon, blueberry and sherbet. There are a few Austromyrtus species to choose from in the garden. Narrow-leaf Myrtle is slightly taller, and a hybrid of the two is called ‘Copper Tops’, named for its reddish new growth.
Clarence adds an Apple Berry to the pot, too. These will grow in a range of climate, and produce tubular fruit that are ripe to eat when yellow. Clarence describes the flavour as between kiwifruit and stewed apple (with a seed inside)!
Their scrambling habit means they can trail over the edge of the pot.
The final plant for the pot is a native violet, whose flowers can be used to decorate cakes and salads.

🪻🌱🐝 💜 🌿 ✨ // violets & violet miner bees // part of my natives + pollinators series // gouache on paper
tiny violet miner bees (Andrena violae) are a specific pollinator: they pollinate wood & dog violets in the Northeast, and show a strong preference for blue violets. letting your grassy yard rewild itself and grow violets every spring not only lets you make violet syrup, it also gives violet miner bees their most important food source and increases local pollinator diversity.

3 years ago today I visited some cliffs along the Lehigh River. Water seeped and dripped from them constantly and the were covered with a wonderful mix of mosses, lichens, liverworts and other native plants.

Just a tiny bit bitter that someone (jokingly) reblogged that post about plants and bugs to call me a spotted lantern fly when the post was originally because I was trying to look up wood violets and getting a bunch of pages about how to kill these lovely native wildflowers because they. . . look "bad" in the desolate wastelands that Americans call "yards."
I am fully in favor of culling invasive species (in a way that is quick and minimizes their suffering), but can we not just think about the implications with regards to how much of our world is seen as a pest to remove and destroy. Please. For me.
#and before anyone goes 'um ACTUALLY'#i am talking about the wood violets/common blue violets native to north america#not ones found in eurasia or anywhere else

Violet tricolor or wild Pansy (lat. Víola trícolor).
Violet is the floral emblem of the Swedish province of Ongermanland. 🇸🇪It is considered one of the oldest cultivated plants that have ever been grown on earth, native to the Mediterranean during the Roman Empire.
A favorite ingredient of pastry chefs and cooks. The leaves resemble lettuce leaves, and the flowers may have a sweet mint flavor and floral aroma.✨️
Фиалка трёхцветная или Анютины глазки (лат. Víola trícolor).
Фиалка – цветочная эмблема шведской провинции Онгерманланд.🇸🇪 Считается одним из самых старых культурных растений, которые когда-либо выращивали на земле, родом из Средиземноморья времен Римской империи.
Любимица кондитеров и поваров. Листья напоминают салат-латук, а цветки могут иметь сладковато-мятный вкус и цветочный аромат.✨️

It's been. That's about all I can say. In the two weeks since I turned in the completed manuscript of The Everyday Naturalist to the publisher, I have been to Portland both weekends for teaching and tours, written a bunch of shorter-form pieces, AND compiled all the numbers and paperwork for my taxes, which is a very complicated process given that I'm self-employed and doing a bunch of different things for a living. And my to-do list is still super full for the next couple of weeks as I try to get everything done that needs to be done before I head out on the road for Missouri again.
But, like this stream violet (Viola glabella), I am emerging from under all of the detritus into a new spring day. I'm incredibly fortunate that the bulk of what I am busy with is made of all things that I love doing, and that there's enough of it to keep me afloat. And I have some great plans as the year continues to unfold, so keep your spring peepers on this space!

Colin, out of the blue, right in the middle of the dinner: Pen, marry me, please!
Bridgertons in the dinning room:
*silenced in stupor*
Pen, swallowing the air: wait... why... I mean... what the fuck... sorry, mrs. Bridgerton... Colin, we're friends... and you don't want me... I don't understand.
Benedict: dear family, we should open a bottle of champagne, he finally got it.
Violette: you can call me Violette, Penelope, darling. Colin, make a normal proposal. Eloise, don't make a plan to kill your brother.

I remember you closing the shutters and laying down by my side and the light that was just slipping through it was painting your body in stripes

what would be a good nature for fidough? moreover what should my "starter" for this run be? just fidough? or igglybuff? azurill? ralts?
I think those are the only fairy types I can get my hands on near los platos~~ unless I'm missing some~~
hadn't caught anything yet mainly cause I'm too busy lately helping my sibling w stuff to play; and by the time I can, I shouldn't cause I need to be up during the day to help them.
backwards sleep schedule time not advisable~~
I think azurills nature is going to be adamant w huge power as the ability, wigglytuff too is modest w competitive, ralts also modest w synchronize, fidough, I have no idea at all....
I've got ideas for a team I just don't know if it's any good yet~~~ and I've not used fidough so this'll be interesting~~
I do have a question tho~~ aside from the fidough nature thing~~ or two actually~~
If you catch a pokemon that's tera type matches the type you're running a monotype of, can you use it? or just purely use the type given? thus not being able to use say, a digglett cause it's ground but tera type is fairy, so it's not viable to be used. gym leaders do this tho...
also when do you start "the teal mask" DLC? is it supposed to be end game content? can you start it earlier in the story? when should it be done? last game I did it end game~~ and "the hidden treasure of area zero" is in fact end game content~~
the playthrough is at a stall at the moment~~ rip~~
#personal#thoughts#thinking#pokemon#pokemon scarlet and violet#pokemon scarlet#pokemon violet#pokemon scarvi#pokemon scarlet and violet dlc#the teal mask#the hidden treasure of area zero#quesiton#questions#playthrough#monotype#fairy monotype#can you still use tera pokemon of the chosen type even if they aren't that type natively?#gym leaders and elite four do this#when to start the teal mask dlc#what to choose as my “starter” for the run#team ideas for the time being#and that's as far as I got#idk a good nature for fidough#or if I should shiny hunt a “starter” for the run#rip sprigatito you'll be in my boxes forever cause you aren't a fairy type
