| Katrina and Mom planting Garry Oak acorns |
Today Katrina and I planted a number of excellent
wild foods with Mom. I have been
collecting seeds from a number of different species over the last few years
and now I finally have a place to plant them.
We planted Giant Camas (Camassia
leichtlinii), Common Camas (Camassia
quamash), Northern Riceroot (Fritillaria
camschatcensis), Chocolate Lily (Fritillaria
lanceolata), Miner’s Lettuce (Claytonia
perfoliata), and transplanted root cuttings of Salal (Gaultheria shallon).
By planting native plants we not only garden with natural elements, but we also work in collaboration with nature, and so the title "gardening
with nature" has a double meaning I quite enjoy.
