Backyard Nursery Pt. 2

Setting up a back yard nursery is, it turns out, a lot of "hurry up and wait".

The drive to build something big is continually tempered by remembering to only build large enough to manage.

The nursery now consists of two beds of Jerusalem artichokes/sunchokes, an air pruning bed of black walnut, two five-gallon buckets with a layer of acorns (willow oak and burr oak) in soil, and a pot with a bunch of maypop seeds under an inch of topsoil. There also a pot with several elder cuttings that were rescued from the greenway after the city came through and cut down (and glyphosate-ed!) a very large elderberry bush near a bridge.

I'm not sure what's going to be coming up in March, but I do know that March 21 I'll be handing out what I have to neighbors and anyone driving by. Honestly with the world on fire it's a bright spot to look forward to.

And on that note I'll also be handing out community preparedness zines and whistles because good lord is the world on fire.
