Getting into a gifty frame of mind? Want to? We can’t help but give a shout out to this beauty of a Bloom Calendar Poster by our friends @hudsonvalleyseedco. It’s gorgeous, as you can see, and a table at the bottom gives the showtimes for each of the flowers, from early bird snowdrops through to fall asters. You can plan your garden to bloom through the seasons and enjoy your favorites on the calendar all year long. Check it out at HudsonValleySeed.com and see a flip through @hudsonvalleyseedco. Just a reminder: it’s aok to gift yourself this time of year! #flowerpower #perfectgift #forgardeners

I stand in awe of seeds! I’ve had these green cotton seeds which were harvested in 2014, and given to me at a Seed Swap at Omega. I decided to germ test them before I put them in the compost, and, low and behold, they are sprouting! It’s going to be hard for me not to plant these. Anyone know anything about growing green cotton? Shout out to Julie Noble.

Great foraging walk with James O’Neill of #deepforestwildedible yesterday at Winnakee Land Trust’s Vlei Marsh Preserve in Rhinecliff! Huge thanks to James who shares his extraordinary funghi and plant knowledge so generously and to all of you who came along for a beautiful fall morning in the rich biodiverse land that is Vlei. #turkeytail #russula #amberjelly #honeymushrooms #violettoothpolypore #winnakeelandtrust

Peanuts! We (the Seedy Sisters, which includes some Dirty Gaians) grew two types of Valencia goobers at the #MortonRhinecliff Seed plot in the Rbk Community Garden—one set of plants was started early under lights, the other, a Northern Hardy batch from our friends at #FruitionSeeds, we planted directly in the ground. Both did well, enjoying the wet summer no doubt. Appreciative shout out to Betty, Bob, Tina and Lulu whose fur contributions (a lotta brushing) strategically placed around the plants seem to have deterred rodents from getting to the nuts before we did. #northeastpeanuts? #whynot!

Join us for another foraging walk at the gorgeous and biodiverse Vlei Marsh in Rhinebeck. Led by James O’Neil of Deep Forest Wild Edible we’ll scope the land for all manner of natural foods and fungi and learn how to use (or avoid!) them. This is the latest outing in our Walk the Land series. Registration required, just hit the link in our bio. Thanks as always to our WTL partner, #Winnakee Land Trust who manage Vlei Marsh. #naturefoodandmedicine #fabfungi #walktheland

Great day today with Plant Ecologist Clara Holmes, who led a wonderfully informative presentation on the whys and hows of saving native plant seeds. Big thanks to Bard for letting us use one of their classrooms as well as their gorgeous native plant meadow on Robbins Rd. Thanks, too, to our cosponsor Erik Kiviat of Hudsonia and the event’s host, Partners for Climate Action HV. #hudsonialtd #plantnatives #saveseeds
