Last day off work & I have soil work to do in backyard. After aerating grounds, I'm sowing fava beans & alfafa seeds over the area that I started remediating work on last Summer.

Pulses and soils: a dynamic duo that sustain one another!
Pulses improve soil health and well-maintained soils allow pulses to thrive.
For #WorldPulsesDay, explore this complementary relationship with @FAO #SaveSoil

@msquebanh Like air, like water, soil is a precious resource that is being slowly degraded or lost forever. Unfortunately, we don’t have a global action on #SaveSoil .
@david_emde Are you talking to any grassroots organizers from the #SaveSoil global movement?
RT UN Biodiversity
We recognize that healthy soil is vital for: climate regulation
provision of food, fibre & fuel
#biodiversity
and much more!
When we work to restore degraded land and support healthy soil, we contribute to the #GlobalGoals.

Here's part of backyard that I'm slowly #rewilding & trying to convert into #suburban #FoodForest This wildflowers field is abuzz with many different types of pollinators. Birds love having more seeds to eat & tall soft grasses to hide in. This is a longterm project fueled by love of #nature & #biodiversity & also by local #FoodSecurity concerns.
All in one mixed #perennials pot. Once my irises stop blooming, my hostas begin to #bloom
I'm harvesting several iris leaves & processing them to weave with. I enjoy growing pretty, beneficial, pollinators attracting plants that also have either edible, medicinal or handicraft uses.
Lots of my #liatris #perennial #plants are bursting with many new flower buds. It's aka #gayfeather & #BlazingStar
Flower moth larvae love using this plant as food. Pollinators adore their bright pink bottle brush flowers; which bloom from distinct 2-4' tall spike stalks.
#Purple petals photos parade.
My first purple poppies are blooming now. The #poppy in this #trio of #PrettyPurplePlants photo set was the first one to open up.
