Found a bunch of monarch caterpillars on the milkweed plants today. They have long journey ahead 🌱

Spring approaching. Peach and pluot trees in bloom. Yellow tree is one I planted from seed - still need to figure out what it is. Has like seed pods that look like snow peas.

Over the years I have planted and grown thousands (yes thousands) of trees. Continuing my parents efforts to re forest rural properties. I shall not sit in the shade of these trees but that's not the point of planting them is it. Future generations will & I hope they enjoy a cooler kinder planet.🥰

Some of the fabulous colours, textures and patterns I came across at Harcourt Arboretum when I visited there a couple of weeks ago, including tree bark, bracken ferns, leaves, fungi, and peacock plumage. #nature #photography #art

Seeds to trees. I will never stop being amazed by the potential of a seed. In a few short years I have two wonderful peach trees that give me delicious fruit. What kinds of trees have you planted from seed?

Already missing mushroom season. A sampling of the diifferent edible mushrooms found on my land in late summer/fall. #mushroomhunter #mushroomforager #foraging #wildmushrooms #swva #floydcountyva #mushrooms #shadygrovehomestead #mushroomseason

Over the years I've found that I let nature do more of the gardening. These gaillardia (blanket flower) self-seed, as do gaura, red sage, delphinium, and poppies. What flowers "volunteer" in your yard? 🌱

Japanese garden @ Huntington Gardens

Yards are for plants. Plant every inch 🌱

Artichokes 🌱
