Came across an interesting resource today: the Alberta Lake Management Society has a publication of the Aquatic Plants of Alberta (this includes native and invasive plants). You can download a free PDF at the link. https://t.co/kr9SWVmGPg

Tonight's consignor is @Flowery_Prose, author of The Little Prairie Book of Berries! This is a wonderful guide to native berries & what you can make out of them. If you're getting into foraging, this is the book for you! Come get yourself a copy on your next visit.

DYK that there are some fruit growers here in Alberta who are having some initial success overwintering peach trees? While we wait for some future hardy cultivars to produce prairie peaches, I've contributed some peach harvesting tips to this article. https://t.co/QF1Isiwiu9

I had the wonderful opportunity to be interviewed for CBC's "Good Question, Saskatchewan" podcast in the spring, chatting about changing hardiness zones. You'll find the link to the podcast in my LinkTree. ("Can we grow peaches in Saskatchewan?") https://t.co/jIadbdkkNZ

Our bird this week is the red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)! It's likely the most common hawk in North America & if you have sharp eyes, you'll see them on any car ride anywhere. The soar above fields & you'll also see them on telephone poles watching for their prey.
