Had a nice, traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings. Including main dishes, side dishes, veg, desserts, spices and beverages, our PlantsGiving total of botanical species included came to 44 this year. I've included the list, made in no particular order. Did anyone else try a listing?

Giving thanks for another good year in the garden and for family and friends. BeetBear and his friend Moley are making the list for our PlantsGiving plant tally. The blueberry pie alone has 9 AND the blueberries are home-grown. Pot-o-Carrots still producing too. Lots of food to eat later. Count up those botanicals, people!

For #Plantsgiving, #BeetBear suggests one of his favorite tipples, which in itself contributes 22 separate botanicals to the list.

With US Thanksgiving just about a week away, I'm once again participating in #Plantsgiving .This is an idea I first discovered a few years back proposed by Prof. Chris Martine at Bucknell U. Link to old page here:
https://forthemedia.blogs.bucknell.edu/martine-invites-everyone-to-celebrate-plantsgiving/
The idea is simple: Just record all the botanical ingredients in your thanksgiving meal & share them here with the plantsgiving hashtag. My list last year was 44 species. Helps raise #PlantAwareness among students, family and friends.

The final results are in. We tallied 44 botanical items that went in to our modest Thanksgiving meal. BeetBear has listed them in alphabetical order in the alt-text. If you include the after-dinner gin ("TheBotanist" from the fine folks on Islay) that adds another 30!
BeetBear and the gang are now back to napping until it's time to Wassail the apple trees.

I convinced #BeetBear to get up and help me list out all of the plants that will be going in to our Thanksgiving meal. This is all part of our #PlantsGiving where we try to acknowledge the contribution the plant kingdom (and fungi) makes to our daily sustenance. Daughter (the actual Botanist) will be home soon to help. It's quite educational to research all the botanicals and list them out. Anyone else want to give it a go? I'll share our list on Friday.
