karl65's Journal

See the observation photo. @tanyaharvey thinks the "bowling-pin-shaped" leaves are Clarkia amoena. Are they sprouting earlier than in previous years?

Saturday I photographed the first wildflowers of the 2021 season on my place: two snow queen plants and a toothwort, see observations.

I bought two mixes from Lynda last fall: a "Stinger-ready" upland prairie mix, and a mix of matrix prairie species containing small-seeded grasses, annual and perennial forbs. See project lists. Yesterday I spread 20 oz. on 0.4 acres of the bank.

With @brucen's help, I'm now recording observations for my labor of love, the restoration of the pre-settlement savanna and prairie understory on my property. Most journal updates will be in the project journal.
