New Email Subscription Service

Posted by on
Credit: ENGGtalks Ecological Gardening has switched from Feedburner to follow.it . This is because Google has decided to let the email subscription portion of Feedburner lapse in July. Fortunately, I was able to make the switch in timely fashion and import my subscribers, who will get my posts with no interruptions. Follow.it offers subscribers a choice of delivery options besides straight email, which I think is pretty cool.    New subscribers are always welcome! So if you like my posts, please do subscribe. Since this is a slow blog—not to say glacial—I promise you absolutely will not be inundated with emails.

Garlic Mustard Update

Posted by on
Today in the woods I discovered several garlic mustard plants with the telltale holes in the leaves that indicate insect munchers, and several others that appeared to have some sort of fungal disease. Perhaps some sort of shift is beginning, so they'll eventually settle into the ecosystem?

When I was carefully ripping out Paterson's Curse, I found a tiny caterpillar. Now what, do I leave a few?

Hmmm. What is Paterson's Curse? I'll have to go look that up.

I was just interested to see these signs on the garlic mustard because so far, biologists haven't found any biological controls that would keep it in check. I did leave those particular plants and will probably go back in a couple of days and look at them again.

The whole garlic mustard issue is very interesting. If enough people start loving garlic mustard pesto,that could help. Re: Asian carp: noticed an article about a Chicago chef who is serving a ceviche made of that fish, and his customers liked it. :et's hope lots of chefs will follow that lead.
Good job on awareness raising.
