‘nother plant Pokémon drawing. This time Brassius and the Brassica napus, the oilseed plant (I think it’s called like that? I also think it’s called rapseed or something like this? Idk, English isn’t my first language and I don’t want to google).

西洋油菜[Seiyōaburana] Brassica napus

西洋[Seiyō] : the West

油菜[Aburana] : Brassica rapa

The genus Brassica flowers are collectively referred to as 菜の花[Na no hana] or 菜花[Nabana], and its edible leaves are called 菜っ葉[Nappa]. 油[Abura] means oil, 菜 means rape or greens, 花 means flower and 葉[ha] means leaf.

This one and Aburana(var. oleifera) are extremely similar and difficult to identify. This one was something that had been feralized and seemed to be slightly different from Aburana in a nearby field, so I assumed this one to be Seiyōaburana. This was because the leaves of that Aburana were more tender and wrinkled, and they are close to the characteristics that it has.

いちめんのなのはな[Ichimen no na no hana], the rape blossoms blooming all over the field, are one of the most popular springtime traditions. Now, there is a poem by Yamamura Bochō in the following linked page. All written in hiragana. https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000136/files/52348_42039.html (ja) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bochō_Yamamura

Indigenous knowledge and food sovereignty on the prairies. Native plants and history of farming in the the northern Great Plains. Maskēko-sākahikanihk (Muskeg Lake Cree Nation), Wipazoka Wakpa Oyate (Sioux Valley Dakota Nation), and Piikani First Nation recent approaches to sustainable food production. Bison grazing and grassland health on Piikani land.

---

Indigenous peoples had lived and farmed the area centuries before European contact. [...]

Melissa Arcand is a soil scientist and associate professor at the University of Saskatchewan, and she grew up on a modern grain farm at Maskēko-sākahikanihk, or Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, north of Saskatoon. [...] Saskatchewan has more farmland than any other Canadian province. [...]

The yard is full of trees, including poplars, spruce and Manitoba maples — the fast-growing hardy species that form a protective wind-break around farm yards across the Prairies. Patricia shows me her vast garden on the south side of the yard. She has corn, squash, sunflowers, carrots, peas, flowers and shrubs of haskap and saskatoon berries. [...]

First Nation grain farmers are rare everywhere. In most cases, farmable land on the dozens of First Nation reserves across the plains of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta is rented out to non-Indigenous farmers who live nearby. That came up as a concern during a forum Arcand organized on Indigenous farming in Saskatchewan in 2018. In forum discussions, attendees resolved to take greater control over farming activities on their lands. [...]

---

Eugene Ross has a slow, soothing voice. [...] Ross is an Elder at Wipazoka Wakpa Oyate, literally “Saskatoon river people”, the Dakota name for Sioux Valley Dakota Nation. It lies at the forks of the Assiniboine and Oak Rivers, 50 kilometres west of Brandon, Manitoba [...].

Entering the plains from the rugged forest landscape of the Canadian Shield feels like dropping through a hatch in the back of a wardrobe. They are completely different worlds. West of the uber-flat Red River Valley, just beyond the town of Austin, the landscape begins to undulate, like a sloppily made bed. From there, the Prairies fold and flatten, roll and settle, in all directions, seemingly forever. Canada has 154 million acres of farmland, according to Statistics Canada’s 2021 census, and 126 million of those are in the Prairie provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba. [...]

“Our Tylenol back in the day,” he says, pointing to Seneca root. From a ceiling hook, Ross takes down a string of white tubers, each about the size of a big toe: wild turnips. [...]

Production of another oilseed relative, Brassica napus, now the most common species on the Prairies, began in the 1940s. [...] In 1978, this improved crop got a new name: canola. Western Canadian farmers now grow canola on more than 20 million acres [...].  Canola is a cool-season crop that thrives in Western Canadian growing conditions. Ross knows a long list of native plants traditionally used for food and medicine that also thrive in the region. While highly unlikely that any will become the next canola, they could underpin a more diverse farming future. [...]

---

You can see Piikani First Nation from the cliff’s edge at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump in southern Alberta. [...] Today that great green sea, whipped by winds from a cascade of buffalo ghosts and bisected by the Old Man River, is Piikani territory. Noreen Plain Eagle is the land manager for Piikani First Nation and its 106,000 acres. [...]

Food sovereignty is a priority. Piikani’s reliance on outside food became acutely clear in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic when food companies, overwhelmed by supply chain issues, could not deliver their usual supply. Piikani nearly ran out of fresh food. It was a call to action for Plain Eagle. “We don’t want to be at the mercy of someone else to provide food to our community,” she says. “We want food sovereignty.” [...]

The next phase is to build a greenhouse at the school to produce a wider variety of vegetables. “We will use it as a hands-on teaching tool for students,” Plain Eagle says. “Terminology will be in the Blackfoot language.” [...] Plain Eagle also has plans to grow corn and potatoes for the community, and to think more strategically about the nation’s small bison herd. “Bison have always been part of our history,” she says, “and we’re learning how they can contribute to our grassland health.” Grasslands need a keystone grazer, like bison or cattle, to keep the grass in check and maintain grassland biodiversity. [...]

[mixotrophics]

there’s a dirt patch close to my flat,it’s quite shaded and matted with branches,, I think people dump their yard waste there sometimes. Always a lot of mystery junk too. Sometimes I can get food from garbage left there.

I’ve been Observing her since I’ve spotted goldcrests (Regulus regulus) and heard eu. collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto) (which aren’t the most common dove around here, which are wood pigeons by far) in these dirt plant margin.

I noticed this yesterday… Somehow rapeseed (Brassica napus napus) managed to get in the dirt patch!! I suppose it adds up since it’s a big oil growing region. this little guy must’ve travelled a while. maybe from one of the aforementioned birds.

I love this new friend :]

This blend of amazing healthy kale mix provides a variety of colors, textures, sizes, and flavors. Harvest baby greens in just 25 days and allow some plants to grow to maturity. This frost-hardy crop is a rock star in the garden even as other vegetables are winding down. Count 25 Botanical Name: Brassica oleracea and B. napus Days to Maturity: 25–55 days Days to Germination: 3-10 Seeding Depth: 1/2" Plant Spacing: 12-18" Row Spacing: 24" Plant height: 12-18" Growth Habit: Leafy upright Soil Preference: Nitrogen-rich, loamy, well-drained Temperature Preference: 45-70 °F Light Preference: Full sun - partial shade Pests and Diseases: No serious diseases but monitor regularly for aphids, cabbage worms, flea beetles, and thrips. Hardiness: Biennial grown as an annual, kale is very cold hardy, and may overwinter in milder climates. Plant Dimensions: If left to grow to maturity, the varieties in this mix will get up to 4' tall, but for baby greens should be picked at 2"–4". In the spring, sow seeds 8-10 weeks before the last frost. For fall harvest, sow seeds directly from July-September for a late fall crop that will taste super sweet after a bit of frost exposure. Kale requires good moisture and full sun. Set plants out or thin to 12- 18 inches apart. Plant seeds ¼ deep. Ideal germination temperature is 45-85 F. Germinates in 6-9 days. Heirloom NON-GMO, Perennial, Easy to Grow, Rich Flavor Attracts Pollinators Attracts bees and butterflies Repels pests Aromatic Kale is believed to be more similar to the original wild cabbage ancestor than more refined brassicas like cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. It hails from the eastern Mediterranean, as well as Asia Minor. The ancient Romans were responsible for dispersing kale and collards to Europe where they were quickly embraced as a cold-loving crop perfectly suited to the Northern European climate. Most people would choose something sweet over something green any day of the week.

i'm handing in notice later today because my job makes me miserable

apples and roses are in the same family (rosaceae)

brassica mostly contains cabbages and mustards, including bok choy (brassica rapa chinensis) and canola (rapeseed, brassica napus napus)

[drhoz]

#1832 - Brassica napus subsp. napus - Canola

More weeds growing at Lake Richmond. They were clearly a cruciferous vegetable, and the AgDept confirmed that they’re one of the biggest crops in the world. 

The word Canola was originally a Canadian trademark - "Can" from Canada and "OLA " meaning "Oil, low acid" - because the actual name of the plant - rape,  Rapeseed, or Oilseed Rape - was more than slightly problematic. Canola is a cultivar grown in gigantic quantities for the oil content of the seeds and reduced levels of erucic acid therein. Another subspecies, Brassica napus subsp. rapifera is grown for the roots, and is known as the rutabaga, or swede. Siberian kale (B. napus var. pabularia) used to be common as a winter-annual vegetable. 

But then Brassica is a ludicrously versatile genus, with various species, subspecies, hybrids and cultivars grown for their leaves, buds, florets, roots, stems, seeds, or even for ornamental purposes or walking sticks. At least six of the current species are the result of chromosome combinations from three earlier species - B. napus is a hybrid of Brassica oleracea (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan etc.) and Brassica rapa (a whole different set of vegetables including turnips, napa cabbage, bomdong, bok choy, and rapini).
