Slow Food for Thought & Wildlife
There ’s stacks to care about rosemary , but my favorite is wintertime ’s delicate drear flower that had bee buzz this week . This one ’s a prostrate mixture . I do n’t pluck the plump , niggling turk ’s capital fruits , as tempting as they are . Certainly we can eat them , though I leave them for hungry critter who kindly plant the semen for me someplace else . Eventually mockingbirds or lusty cedarwood waxwings will devour the yaupon holly fruits , but for now , I can watch them glisten from the front porch . One harvest we did relish : our ‘ Mr. Mac ’ satsumas . Well , okay , we only got three this year . That means we can relish each one and marvel at the hard - working fruit growers out there . This lemon tree at UT ’s Carothers dorm deserves an honour ! Even though I bet I ’ve walked by it 100 of time , it was this November that it caught my centre when hundreds of smart jaundiced orbs beckon a closer facial expression . protect by its stone terrace and warm by brick and other courtyard dorms , the early freeze did n’t harm the fruits . The bootleg spots could be from bird pecks — a common situation in dry time . They do n’t diffuse the insides . In case you neglect it , this week we repeat our elated interview with Teresa Sabankaya , California constitutive cutting flower cultivator andslow heyday floristand source ofThe Posy Book . She explore the intricate language of blossom and how to craft your own subject matter , an idea that grew from her own garden in Santa Cruz .
Watch now !
And thank you for stopping by ! Linda
