(We haven't come up with a good name for it.)
A few gardeners and I have been clearing space for the food bank bed. We've dug up most of the weeds and brought over a layer of compost. I made a little dry river rock pathway for funsies. Recently we planted corn in the circles on the left, a row of my favorite mix of sunflower seeds toward the front [of this photo], and some squash starts. I'll plant some beans and whatever else takes my fancy on the right side of the path. I'm excited to see how this develops. The Patch will mostly be responsibility, so hopefully I don't screw it up!

Snaggy Saturdays
Intentional snags at the Country Charm Conservation Area in Arlington, WA. Birds love this place, and I want to remind myself to learn more about this place, since it's so local. Observed April 27, 2019.

Greta Thunberg urges MEPs to ‘panic like the house is on fire’
We all need to listen. What is really the point of living, if we are not taking action to stop this crisis?

Snaggy Saturdays
After my last post about the purpose of snags, I've been paying more to these natural structures whenever I find them in the forest or in landscaped areas. As anyone who's been hiking recently with me knows, I just can't help getting excited about interesting snags, stumps, and nursery logs. So I'm making it a thing now, because...of course I would.
Found this beauty in Saint Edward State Park on April 26. Bonus: hairy woodpecker at the top!
