One of my Growboxes which was seeded with Chamomille then left to fend for itself. Pleasantly surprised it was a good winter crop that survived our minus temps and snowfall! Location: North Cowichan Vancouver Island.

While 'forest bathing' (shinrin-yoku), I paused to admire Mama Maple Log busily giving 'birth' to numerous Deer Ferns which are nourished by her decomposing body. I was lucky to see this, as come the later Spring, these ferns will disappear having completed their life cycle.

WASSAIL!
"Wassaile the trees, that they may beare
You Apples and Cherries and many a Peare:
For more or lesse fruits then they will bring,
As you do give them Wassailing.”
Yesterday we 'wassailed'(sang and poured apple cider on its roots)of our King Apple Tree. Anyone else?
