Yesterday I saw a YouTube video about obscure #fruits in North America. I was interested in seeing the Osage Orange because a relative of mine used to love #osage wood.
Anyway, I didn't know the Osage is an evolutionary anachronism. That is, the animals that spread its seeds are gone. Only humans spread the #seeds now, with intentional plantings.
It sounds so existentially forlorn. 😥

I only had a few Autumn Beauty #sunflower #seeds left & sowed them all today.

This is one of those amazing anomalies that tickles my fancy....

I grow #trees from seed. Fruit trees mostly, I save my #seeds from #fruit, stratify them, grow them & plant them in the ground. I've planted a few 100 trees since I took up this #Tree farming #hobby

Last year's fruit, are this year's treelings.

This year, I ate a pear, that had seeds already growing inside! One week later, I had 5 #pear trees 🍃​

Have you been following my #Peach Tree undates?
From my own peaches, on my own tree, I have been replanting trees.

Last year only 2 healthy trees.
This year started at 10, 2 given away, 8 remained. 2 to plant in each property, with a few spares. I promised my sister a pair, then the spares started doing poorly, so my sister will get my country designated ones.

My best 2 are in the ground, a little bigger than this. They are 2 months old.

Months ago I tried germinating honey locust #trees indoors.

10 frozen #seeds put into hot water, nicked w/ nailclipper, planted in 5 ramequins with soil, watered regularly.

After ~2 months of zero #germination I gave up;
8 months later now, I dig into that soil to investigate and… 🤯 the seeds are GONE. Not a single trace anywhere. How could they desintegrate to atomic levels in dirt, that fast, indoors?! There were no insects!

Should I just try again, but in outdoors sun? #gardening

It's going to be another exciting year, trying to guess what I've planted or grown. Some are easy. That batch is .. Peppers. pretty sure.. over there. >Tomatoes.. I don't know what those are.. maybe flowers.. and that's a tree seed.

When some seeds don't sprout, I don't give up. I used to re-use the soil and all kinds of things came up. So, now I dump the unsprouted seeds and dirt in a pile, and plant anything that grows, I can ID it later. .

I encourage anyone with an interest, to grow a tree, from seed. It won't make you move out of your tiny apartment for about 4 years. You can donate it, plant it, or throw it away if you decide. Still fun.

I started this about 2008, and by 2010 I was planting trees. My seeds were producing 60% success rate, but by the next year, 90% success, depending on source of seeds.
Apples are a good start.

I asked a friend if she had a few more butterfly milkweed seeds to give me - looks like she had some extras.

I currently have 3 butterfly milkweed plants. I'll sow some seed so I can get a few more, and then give away the rest.

Monarch butterflies lay their eggs only on milkweed.

So no milkweed = no monarchs.

If you plant #milkweed that's native to your area, maybe a monarch caterpillar will come to life in your garden!

A dried tomatillo from my garden a few years ago. I've never found confirmation in the literature, but these fruit get blown around quite easily and thus seem capable of long-distance seed dispersal. But I'm not sure whether wild varieties trap their seeds in the same way. It could be the case that artificial selection by breeders has favored lineages that make seed collection easy, and these spherical seed packets certainly do that. #botany #gardening #Solanaceae #Physalis #seeds #fruit #evolution #plants

There's a place I often walk where Telegraph Weed #plants grow abundantly in cracks along the side of the road.
