I love the patches of moss found around the garden. Some people try to get rid of moss. Bryophytes need love too.

My modest garlic patch. We are breeding for true garlic seed producing plants. Trying to help restore fertility to garlic.

Spanish Roja garlic bulbil update. Tip: Grow the tiny bulbils thick together like grass at first to save space. Once it gets crowded, replant with space between each.

Yeah, for these niche fields like palaeo-ethnobotany, it seems like content creation about the topic is the best way to make it into a job.

Another day, another bunch of my babies flowering. Again, most of these are flowering for the first time. Plant breeding is possibly more addictive than chocolate! #plantbreeding #lilium #liliums #bulbs #gardening #gardeninglife #gardeningaustralia #gardenclubsofaustralia

Better late than never! Italy Hill Giant Ivory Hardnecks are all tucked in and ready for a winter nap. This year I learned that the worn, rounded end of an ol’ broken shovel handle pokes the perfect holes for planting garlic. My back is grateful for the discovery. #garlic #hardneckgarlic #farmstead

By popular demand, I printed a new edition of my #linocut Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), here surrounded by plants & a mineral she touted as medical treatments, her invented alphabet & model of the universe. One of my most popular prints this year! 🧵 #printmaking 🧪🐡 #histSci #histMed #botany

Elon literally just needs to revert to what Twitter was when he took over and advertisers would come back. He just refuses. Look for him to sell $TSLA to keep funding 'X' as it loses money. Frustrating as a shareholder.
