Plant of the Day

Sunday 25 August 2024

The salt-tolerance of the native annual plant Atriplex patula (spear saltbush, common orache, spear orach, spreading orach) means it can grow grow in coastal areas and the verges of salt-treated roads, where the soil has increased salinity. This species is a wildflower in the U.K. but can be invasive in some other parts of the world.

Behold Kochia, Orach, Salsola, and Frigida!

These birds are all available, and since they're out of a sex-linked pair we have confirmed genders already. Kochia is the only hen of the bunch. Looks like Rosie is finally evening out her gender ratio.

Kochia is a bit snippy and reserved, so I suspect she'll have a temperament like her half-sisters and be incredibly nest-aggressive but otherwise sweet.

Orach is an absolute darling. He'll run to the front of the nest to beg me for food whenever he sees my hands and is just a little lump of a man already. He'll be an amazing pet bird, and I'm sad I don't have the space to keep him!

Salsola is friendly so far, and is always begging me for food. He's very interested in his surroundings when I take him out of the nest, but I haven't gotten a great read on his personality yet.

Frigida is the least friendly of the bunch. He's scared of hands (which means no more picking him up for a while!) and very defensive. We'll see how he warms up over time with finger-feeding and time to observe that hands are not all that scary.

This is also true for leaves of the same plant when grown in sun versus shade (Figure 9.8).

These are all the things I want to grow and have the seeds for this year, though some things are missing from this list. I still need more soil, most of the produce goes to the senior center so if anyone wants to throw me 3 dollars for a bag of dirt it goes to a good cause, I also save seeds and distribute them to neighbors and some of the people at the senior center. This blog is my only income source as I am an unpaid live-in aide for an elderly woman. No pressure though. Also if anyone just wants to put gardening discussions in my inbox I am totally up for that!

Saw this cutie beautie. The internet says it's Trachea Atriplicis or orache moth, I like their colouring much. It's the first time I seeing moth with greenish colours and damn, they're magnificent.
