Know Your Seed: #12

Joha Rice that was used to awaken Kumbhakarna: The 14th Century, Assamese Ramayana written by Kaviraja Madhava Kandali mentions that food items made from Joha Rice were used by Ravana to awaken his brother Kumbhakarna from his deep sleep.

Joha Rice have the strongest aroma attributed to the high concentration of a compound named 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline.

yes, I have specified this in the tags (well, at least I thought I did, maybe it was a different convo). and if you use everwilde farms to get your native seeds, double check on their map that its native to your range, because sometimes even when you filter it it will give you options from the whole other side of the country. i've unfortunately ended up with a couple california plants when im from the midwest and it can be frustrating, tbh prairie moon has been the best as far as seeds go and an actually accurate filter system.

but to be more specific, wild thyme, white clover, sweet alyssum, sweet violet, corsican mint, that daisy, and chamomile are not native to the US, tbh I only added that pic in because I figured it could at the very least be a step forward from a monoculture of turf grass if you're an older person who maybe struggles with new things and letting go of your lawn, however it's true that many of these can become invasive, namely the white clover. there are native strawberries, just check to make sure it is, and the ground covers I didn't list above are native to parts of the US, but yes be sure it's actually native to your range.

And even though I think planting these ground covers is a step up from a monoculture lawn, it's still hardly a step. it'd be better if you just planted a full yard of native plants. some places to find some seeds would be prairiemoon nursery (all over the US + sells live plants and roots), everwilde (also all over the US + heirloom crops), seedsource (southern US), wild seed project (mostly north east but a little midwest), mowildflowers (midwest + they sell live plants if you live in MO), toadshade (midwest/north east), ouriques farm (owner is from florida but they grow things from all over, make sure whatever you're looking to buy is actually native to your range. they also sell crops and non natives, so be careful when buying), and nativeseeds (mostly specialized in crops cultivated by native americans, but their crops are typically drought tolerant and hot-weather hardy and their seeds seem to be mostly sourced from the southwestern US, all around a really cool website to check out no matter where you're from. look under their "wildflowers" section to find native wildflowers)

over all, try to find a native plant store near you, chances are they are able to ship you seeds and plants as well :>

*casually posts this at the same time to further my agenda of growing native plants instead of grass and shitty ornamentals*

How does a fruit appears on a peyote cactus? Different stage will occurs, starting with a little bud emerging from the center of your cactus. It then becomes bigger and a flower appears. Depending on the cactus, the variety, its age, climate conditions it may blows for a few days. If you are lucky and if mother nature decides to do it, a fruit will follow the dry flowers a few days later or maybe more depending also on the variety, so never remove a flower from the cactus.#huichol #lophophora #lophophorawilliamsii #lophophoraseeds #lophophoratexesasbigbend #peyote #peyoti #peyotecactus #peyotecoyote #texas #bigbend #bigbendcactus #lophophoralover #nativeseeds #cactuseeds #thedivine #thesacred #サボテン #仙人掌 #กระบองเพชร #แคคตัส #โลโฟโฟร่า #โลโฟ #โลโฟฟริซิไอ #кактус #多肉植物 #hikuri #ロフォフォラ

Native grasses (Poa labillardierei) are often the first to burn and the first to grow back. Across eastern Australia, Common Tussock-grass regenerates quickly after fire, as long as temperatures aren’t too extreme. When they do re-grow, although low in sustenance, are often the first available food for wallabies and kangaroos. Native grasses are quickly re-established and when there is high rainfall after fires the grasses offer nesting birds a safe refuge as well as a welcome hiding place for smaller marsupials. — Seeds are the starting point for ecological restoration. Seeds give us an understanding of the natural processes and needs of nature. These Seeds of Hope represent nature’s untapped potential and hold a wealth of promise for growth in the future. Seeds will eventually become the plants, grasses, and trees that are needed to restore the natural processes to the Australian landscape. These seeds will empower you to take part in repairing the damage. — #poalabillardieri #tussockgrass #fire #seeds #nativeseeds #SeedsOfHope #botanical #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CNw0KSblLB1/?igshid=1f9jxq5qv440u

Native Grass Seedling ID Guide - (Part 1) Cool Season Grasses: Weeping grass. Microlaena stipoides seedlings are medium sized and start with a rounded tip. They have a flat bladed leaf that often falls backwards. The older leaves display a crimp or sharp narrowing towards the tip. The leaves often have a twist through 90o along their length. Hairs are commonly found at the junction of the leaf and the sheath that accompany the auricle which extends the full way around the stem. #nativeseeds #nativeaustralianplants #nativeaustralianflora#nativeaustralianfloraandfauna #australianlandscapes #australianlandscape #microlaenastipoides #weepinggrass #australiangardens #aussiebackyards #australianlandscape https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw0az0bFc76/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cs7j84qouyxq

Our #corn harvest season has finally ended with the milling of our native seeds. We have kept our seeds for about 10,000 years but their genetic diversity is being treated by #GMO trying to be introduced to Mexico. Mexico produced 26.7 million tons for the 2016-2017 season. About 10 million tons are produced in small peasant holdings but the country also imports 10 million tons of subsidized cheap corn from the USA. In the article 'Pervasive presence of transgenes and glyphosate in maize-derived food in Mexico', Gonzales Ortega et al. (2017) point out that transgenic maize varieties, produced abroad under industrial agriculture are finding their way into the food manufacturing networks in Mexico. Last year we could not sell all of our corn because of the cheap corn being imported into Mexico. Considering that we have the lowest wages under #NAFTA and that families have to make ends meet they are quite literally forced to buy tortillas from the tortillerías and tortilla makers that have cheap imported corn. We need to start a campaign to have a #crowdfunding to counter the US subsidies and help small farmers sell their corn locally. In return Maybe we could send you a few KG of hand made, organic, native corn tortillas. Who is in for the deal? Book a stay in our #airbnb and learn about our traditional organic farming and the way it is adapting to #climatechange and #globalization. <> <> <> #organicfarming #nativecorn #centeroforigin #craddleofcivilization #craddleofagriculture #smallfarmers #smallholding #sustainableliving #sustainabletourism #ethictravel #instatravel #travelgram #wanderlust #skillshare #organiccorn #nativecorn #nativeseeds (at Dixza Rugs & Organic Farm)
