Oregon stories...my sister-in-law proudly discusses her garden of invasives which she nurses. Go figure.

Also, we love the app Seek by iNaturalist for identifying mystery plants!

Carson, do you happen to follow the YouTube channel “Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t?” I think you might really dig it.

He's changed my life! I've never been so excited to identify asteraceae (and say it over and over again)!

The earlier comment about iNaturalist reminded me of the CPBBD channel, he also recommends iNaturalist.

This “clear your blackberries” post seemed to resonate very closely. I’m sure there was cursing involved in removin the thorny bastards (and what the shit).

Magical treasures!!! I love finding stuff. All the stories about those who lived and worked there before you, embedded in each object. I love the water pump; they still use those in Egypt! They still use scythes too. The view out your window is magical!

So many fun finds. Were you able to identify these plants on your own, or did you have to look them up? I'm definitely jealous of all the flora, I live in Dallas and have to drive a ways for anything like this.

These are all plants I knew already. There were lots of others I didn't.

What did you do with all the vines and cleared-away plants? We’ve got an overgrown alley behind our house that needs to be dealt with…

I loved this! Did anyone else notice that the "mysterious rocks" look like Palaeolithic airpods?
