All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

It's been a flurry of activity this week - we've been hosting a friend who's here to build out his photography portfolio. As part of that, there were a number of chores and tasks I had to delay in order for him to get some of the shots he was looking for, followed by mad dashes of activity and pausing for shots while in the doing. He ended up with some ~1200 photos and maybe an hour or two of drone footage:

I definitely tend to see the work left to do in the gardens instead of what's been accomplished unless I'm showing things to people, so let me just say this:

I'm really impressed by the work you're putting in for your gardens, and how they're coming along!

What's growing on with you all?

I recently moved from Illinois to Connecticut. A friend of mine gave me a pot with 3 pawpaw seeds. All of them germinated and had a nice taproot going when I finally put them in the ground last Saturday. Something dug them all up. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

My plan is to buy a couple of pawpaws already sprouted in a pot and cage/fence them until they're bigger.

If y'all have never tasted a pawpaw fruit, you're missing out.

That's such a bummer! I've not met many New Englanders who know about pawpaw, so I hope you have an easy time finding some locally adapted ones. Or is there a nursery you're planning to order from?

I was planning to place an order online, but now that you mention it, I think I should say least check around locally first. Connecticut is teeming with nurseries. Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜
