| A Plant a Day: December 23 |
| We are doing this totally mad thing.. we have given ourselves the task of finding, identifying and photographing a different wild plant from our land every single day. We plan to do it till the plants run out, or the days run out, or we run out.... whichever comes sooner.... We have of course started at a great time of year when flowers are dwindling and leaves are starting to fall, but hey, if the plan is to set a challenge, one might as well make it as hard as possible to start with and then of course it will get easier (or something like that). And we literally have NO idea how many plants we are going to find. Starting In September 2023, these pages will record our journey!! |
