An asparagus shoot in August? In Hot and steamy Nashville? Yes. Plants have one job and one job only — to reproduce through flowering, fertilization, and seeds. Seeds are portable, prepackaged, dehydrated plants. When I cut back the asparagus ferns three weeks ago, it signaled the plant to send up more shoots for more flowers. I’m delightfully obsessed. #morningrounds #pollination #seeds #backyardfarming #asparagus
So happy to finally meet Robin Verson, co-owner with her husband, Paul Bela, of @hillandhollowfamily farm in Breeding KY. They are at the @nashvillefarmersmarket every Saturday. I had already signed up to take her indigo dyeing class next week and was thrilled to visit with her. She said, “Come early, I can tell we have lots to talk about!” I don’t think Robin knows a stranger. So much warmth and cheerfulness there. I think there are a few more spaces in her class. #indigo #familyfarm #kyfarms #csa #indigodye
Cotton Boll. Fibers and seeds are still developing inside. Seeds planted May 6th. New boll growing on right. Cotton is in the same family as okra. #fiberarts #morningrounds #backyardfarming #cottonboll #cottonplant #cotton #seeds
I am all about seeds this summer. This is a mature ear of corn, aka the female flower, suffering from incomplete pollination. My little field of 15 plants was no substitute for a big field of corn where lots of pollen can blow around from the tassels on the top of the stalks, aka the male flowers. #morningrounds #backyard-farming #corn #pollination #farmtotable #seeds
Seed Head of a Stalk of Sugar Cane. The 15 foot stalk fell over during a storm yesterday, otherwise I wouldn’t have had a chance to see this up close. Expand the image to see all the colorful seeds. #morningrounds #backyardfarming #sugarcane #seeds #inflorescence #grasses #nashville
