Here is a portrait video of part of it depending on your viewing preferences. Sound removed because the kiddo was freaking out about seeing snakes for the first time.
This whole post should be marked MSFW (milksnakes found wuv)
Could've been twelve for the same price if I hadn't been caught
Haha same!
Yes. It should work with just about any fern clump. Be sure to sharpen and disinfect your shovel/tools for the best results
That's awesome! I love it when I have a place in mind for some plants
We planted out our tomato starts this morning, along with another round of spinach.
I managed to get twenty lemon balms potted up as well, but I've got more of the clump that could be thinned.
Juniper and I also found some more purple flowering raspberry coming up in between some other shrubs in one of the food forest islands and got those split and potted.
This autumn, you could dig up the clump and divide it into quarters and replant those sections to get even more (and more sustainable) harvests off of it.
Still makes a mean pesto though

We got them as whips 2 or 3 years ago so they're not at production age yet, but american persimmons (Diospyros virginiana) have been particularly low maintenance so far. At this age they're no good for shading anything out, but planting them with Monarda has hidden them from the deer and kept them from being eaten (so far).
My brother got my wife and me some miyoo minis, and I'm almost through TLoZ: Minish Cap. He loaded the tiny best set so I have too many choices and haven't picked what I'm playing next
Earlier this week I went to start veggies and flowers for the library's community garden
What's growing on with you all?
I think I need to split my tomatoes today.
What's growing on with you all?

We've got thirty, maybe forty pots looking like this, with true leaves starting to appear on a bunch of the starts - only a few of the pots have any duplicate plantings. There's two pots of chamomile (pictured) and a few other herbs like sage and lavender.
We're also growing wheat for the first time, which is pretty exciting. I've done up a few dozen plugs for the bird yard, which will be fenced this first year to protect them til they go to seed, and have a row in the vegetable patch that I'm thinking of using for seed saving purposes. If anyone's grown grains before I'm interested to hear your wisdom.

The people who lived next door to my first home had some amazing apples - very climbable trees for a kid and delicious apples. They used to give me a quarter for each apple I picked (this was decades ago and I was maybe ten, it felt like a lot).
Several years ago I was working for the landscaping crew of a nearby resale nursery and we were helping to clean up an elderly couple's garden. They had a beautiful Kousa dogwood in the middle of their yard, loaded with hundreds of fruits within reach and more towards the top. When we hit our lunch break that day I asked the couple if I could have a few of the fruits (they're small mouthfuls of yum) and when they agreed I picked some and popped the skinned fruit into my mouth - right when one of the owners came around the corner. He started freaking out about eating strange fruits until I showed him multiple foraging guides for them. Ended up getting him, the rest of the work crew, and the couple to try them. Before we left the lady was gathering more because she had found a jame recipe and wanted to make it.
