Good morning! Fleabane is super pretty and I love seeing it on my walks all summer long. Yes, it does repel fleas and gnats! #wildflowers #photography

- Instead of bare gravel or closely mown grass, panels were raised higher off the ground, leaving room underneath for something to #grow

Then the builders did something unusual:

They carefully chose #native grasses, #wildflowers planting them under & around the rows, hoping to rebuild habitat that used to be there & to hold the #soil & #water in place. It was the sort of thing that rarely survives an engineering plan

A solar farm was built to make electricity, but the ground beneath the panels quietly began doing something no one planned for

For years, one worry has shadowed the rise of solar power. To make serious amounts of electricity, you need serious amounts of land.

I have been busy in the garden and I have revamped my website. Also decided that I would *try* to keep the ‘journal’, a.k.a. blog, a little more up-to-date.
Since I am clearly utterly incapable of sustaining a regular presence on social media, I would like to share the first new blog post with you: https://www.wolfkettler.com/blog/wild-unruly-and-beautiful

I was walking along a hiking trail yesterday, and found that a pretty good length of the trail was lined with what I thought was white pepper weed, in full bloom. I thought oh how pretty, even noxious weed can be gorgeous when they are so full. I looked at the photos just now, and I don't think they are white pepper weeds... I think they are poison hemlocks. A massive forest of hemlocks ☠️ 😰 Glad I didn't touch it.
