It takes five years for an English Bluebell seed to mature into a bulb & root system capable of producing the first flower

It is five years since we started manually sewing seeds in the areas with no bluebells, so we are expecting an even more impressive display this year 🤗

There are brains down there, ones our own brains aren’t shaped to see. Root plasticity, solving problems and making decisions. Fungal synapses. What else do you want to call it? Link enough trees together, and a forest grows aware.”💚

Trees are symbols of life across many cultures, religions, and belief systems (such as the Tree of Knowledge, the Tree of Life, and the World Tree). They come in all shapes and sizes—bearing leaves or needles, blossoms, and fruit—and constantly renew themselves through seeds or root shoots.

These oak 'saplings' aren’t young, they’re ancient. What looks like fresh regeneration is actually root suckering: genetically old trees sending up new shoots. A special form of biologically fundamented woodland resilience.

radish shoots burst forth
shaking off soil, stretching up
promise crunchy spice
Most beloved root vegetable, I welcome your signal of cooler days ahead.

Holy shit wild bergamot, it has been one year! Calm down!

Wild bergamot is in the mint family! You can almost always identify mint by their square stems. They also have root systems which grow aggressively quick and make these little underground shoots from which new mints grow.

Took some shoots from the root of our fig tree yesterday as I would like to have one on the allotment. Plenty of root powder, into a pot & fingers crossed that one takes.

My sister today, contemplatively: leftists’ primary problem is we need to shut the fuck up

Me: nearly shoots root beer out of nose

She looks at me, irritated as a whole.

She: we are so goddamn annoying

In flower farming, many plants are pinched at an early stage to encourage side shoots which means more flower stems. You can root those pinched tips for more plants - these are sweet peas rooting in water that I will be potting up today. #gardening #plants #flowerfarmer #roots

We had the most wonderful traditional Japanese new year's dinner with my daughter-in-laws parents.
I loved it all, but some of my favourites were black soybeans, Gingko seeds, lotus root, mushrooms, tempura chikuwa (fish), & bamboo shoots.
I wish we could get these veggies at home, they're yummy 💞

Time for another preprint from the lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Led by @yuanyuanzhang.bsky.social and @defengshen.bsky.social. We found some surprising secrets that connect and uncouple root barrier formation with systemic nitrogen signaling in shoots. see the thread below for more details
A tunable receptor separates root barrier formation from nutrient signaling through ligand-perception states
In roots, the endodermis controls nutrient entry by forming a barrier known as the Casparian strip. Yet how barrier-associated processes interface with systemic signaling remains unclear. Here, we sho...

Always talk to people at the farmer’s market. Bought this fresh ginger primarily for the root, but then had a different vendor tell me to boil the leaves for tea and that she likes to get the tender middle out of the shoots to eat.

important new development: hard to photograph, but the stem is developing bumps/spikes, which the main plant does before throwing out shoots - seems like a clear sign of root growth

Forgot that, one day recently, I took some spinach seeds out to the balcony on my work coffee break, and five minutes later had planted 15-20 seeds.

But today I have all new spinach shoots popping up!

I’ll have to harvest my end-is-nigh lettuces so they have more root room. 🌱

stubborn life takes root;
barren dust desecrated
by hardy green shoots
wowza wowza!! a green desert, stark with trees!! devastation, reclamation!!

The way Pando spreads by sending up new shoots from a shared root system. The plant itself is male, and triploid (three copies of each chromosome).

"Friends of Pando" and the US Forestry Service have protection plans to maintain Pando, minimize grazing damage & monitoring for fire threat.

Are they... happier? I can't tell. But certainly I think I hear the occasional soft gurgle of contentment from a revenant or lich or two when they root out the first shoots of prickleweed from between the rows of barley before it can sneak into the mill.

Ginger, a pungent rhizome, boasts incredible health benefits! It soothes nausea, reduces inflammation, & boosts immunity. Use fresh ginger in stir-fries, teas, or baking for a zesty kick!
