Roadside Round Bale proves potential as poke producer 2018-05-19 - Along an Adair County Byway - Kentucky - Photo by Linda Waggener. Is anyone obsessed with the notion of producing all ones food from round hay bale gardening? I know I am. This round hay bale is likely the result of an accident. The Poke may not have been intentionally planted, but it seems to be thriving. There have been extension courses on hay bale gardening. Wondered if anyone added it on a commercial basis. Bales are supposed to be able to grow sweet and Irish potatoes, mushrooms and more. Would it be possible, given the bales' propensity for spontaneous combustion, to time that phenomenon for instant baked potatoes? A silly thought, but might it be possible? - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Wildflowers of KY - Diagnostic Petals & Redeeming qualities? 2018-05-19 - Along Adair County Roadsides - Kentucky - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Too many maligned plants have some redeeming qualities, just as, to paraphrase a quote in "Walking Dead," every plant is better than it's worst trait. Daisies, on the left, just plain happy up everyplace they are. But if for no other reason, how in the world could anyone find a better way to diagnose true love, to know whether she/he loves one or not. Nodding thistles (just showing lavender color) on the other hand, are almost universally sentenced to capital punishment, and, though many escape the verdict, they do provide beauty, food for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bumbly-bees. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
