jack pine cones on a fallen tree, the cones are easy to collect because they... - Seeds And Stratification, September...Sep 27, 2026 · Seeds & Stratificationjack pine cones on a fallen tree, the cones are easy to collect because they stay firmly attached and closed. it's convenient compared to spruce that will open and disperse their seed in late summer. in either case, a good way to collect conifer cones is a chance fallen tree or a down branch after a storm. a low hanging branch is another, or walking around until you find a squirrel cache. If you're serious about it then a long pole with a hook can be used, since most of the cones are at the top of the tree. it's a good reason to go for a walk in the forest, a pocket full of pine cones and some fresh air. in Japan I've heard you might get a prescription to take walks like this, forest bathing shinrin-yoku, mindful immersion in nature to lower stress and boost wellnessRead field note +3
wild plums, a late hanging one that presents as mostly americana but there's... - Plum And Cherry Hybrids, September...Sep 26, 2026 · Plum & Cherry Hybridswild plums, a late hanging one that presents as mostly americana but there's some hybridization in there. the fruit are slightly elongated like a canada plum, but they're ripe about 3 weeks later. the leaves have a mostly americana shape and margin, but not quite as narrow. prolifically suckering, and probably also some self seeding, this was more plum thicket with one hefty trunk in the center, a multi stem mother tree growing together 10-12" diameter, big for a plum. excellent fruit set, we collect two crates of them. so a seedling wild plum is about as specific as I can figure, atavism is a phenomenon where a hybrid with a wild species tends to revert to the wild phenotype. this could be half americana, half some mix of nigra and salicina. it's hard to know without lab work. That would actually be interesting, something to look into. wild plums make good pollinators, and a hardy vigorous rootstock.Read field note +5

There's been a light frost a few times this month and like sunflowers they shrug it off until, though some time in the next couple of weeks we start to get some cold mornings and a good -5C will brown off all the top growth. Then it's time to dig up all the tubers, and replant enough for next year. This is actually 8-10 separate beds with a rhizome barrier, to keep them mostly separated (purple and white are easy to sort out anyway) but it helps when glowing a few different types near each other. this patch is a separate garden because these guys grow back vigorously from tubers left in the ground, they'll crowd out anything nearby so chose your location carefully, or grow in an isolated bed or large pots.Read field note +4
nannyberries ripening quickly, this year was a rec to get them before the birds... - Berries And Currants, September...Sep 25, 2026 · Berries & Currantsnannyberries ripening quickly, this year was a rec to get them before the birds. you can't tell by I'm standing in water up to my ankles to collect these, so I'm going to say that the trees handle waterlogged land soil well. the fruit cut this cool multi colored effect just the day before they ripen to black, in the last two photos I set some out to take a photo in better light the next morning and nearly all the green/red fruit had ripened over night. if you haven't tried nannyberry they have a savory flavour that's like a date but more woody, totally unique. they're related to highbush cranberry, the fruit grow to the same size and in the same clusters, the seeds are the same large and flat like a watermelon seed, but these aren't sour at all, and they're a deep blue/black color.Read field note +4
planting valiant grapes at the assiniboine food forest orchard, a local non profit in... - Grapes And Vines, September...Sep 21, 2026 · Grapes & Vinesplanting valiant grapes at the assiniboine food forest orchard, a local non profit in Brandon MB who has this community orchard and nature trails for the public to enjoy. We donated some grapes and a few wild plums and sandcherries grown from locally source seeds and cuttings, and a group of volunteers helped to plant this weekend. The perimeter fence is now completely lined with Valiant grapes and has some new trellis wire to support them, the older grapes are three growing seasons in and one reached the top. eventually the deer fence will be covered with grapes, and this cold hardy variety does well here in zone 3 southern MB without any winter protection. I leant my fencing expertise to help with the high tensile wires that were strung to give the grapes a space to grow and support inside the page wire, because curious deer are always trying to graze the leaves and we want to try and keep most of the vines and fruit out of reach. We also brought hardware cloth to help protect the small fruit trees from voles (which are controlled by mowing but still show up), and a butternut tree to round out a north corner.Read field note +3
