Take 2 of Project #Chilli is going better than Take 1. Not sure which seeds germinated this time.
Still hoping it's going to work, and that take two wasn't planted too late in the season (given the other end of the season)
1) Why do you love plants and how do you interact with plants in your life (intentionally/background)?
2) What makes learning about plants/ecology accessible/inaccessible to you (ie compare with birding)?
3) Do you prefer a formal or informal teaching environment, and why?
4) What are some subtopics relating to native plants that are of interest to you?
5) Would you prefer to learn to ID plants with or without phone apps?
6) How many plants would you be comfortable learning to ID in a 1 hour session?

While we were defending our #peas from masses of #snails & #slugs last week, my better half said, “I think we should wrap the pots in #coppertape”.
I said, “That doesn’t work. It’s a fairy tale. Maybe I could wrap the pots with double sided tape & rub salt onto the exposed tape?”
Her reply, “Why?”
“#Salt kills snails & slugs”
“I’ve never heard of that!”
Taking a quick look at the long term forecast, and I guess we have at least a few more weeks before the first frost date in Seattle? Maybe I *do* have time to plant something else.
The beans are DEAD. Long live the garlic!!!
Doing our final “last pepper harvest of the year” and getting ready to plant garlic!
#Gardening is weird.
It's like pouring money down the drain, or putting money in the mattress... but it’s ... flowers in the ground.
At least theoretically pretty-things happening in later years (if we did it all right and things don't die).
