Dry seedlings? Here' what to do.

Sometimes the best of us forget to water our seedlings after we’ve picked them up from the shops, unloaded our shopping and popped inside for a cuppa. Coming out and finding them shrivlled and wilted (or worse if you’ve forgotten about them for a couple of days) can be quite a shock. Maybe not too far gone… If you can get to your dry, wilting, babies while there is still a little green on them,…

The fire

The regeneration - only 18 months later!

The lush green is the species Acacia pulchella, an obligate seeder, which is a plant that is killed by fire and must recruit via seeds - in this case, lying dormant in the soil seed bank. It requires high soil heating temperatures from fire (~80-120°C) to break dormancy and trigger germination. This strategy allows the species to persist in a fire prone environment, and take advantage of the excellent post-fire conditions of increased nutrients from burned biomass, increased light availability, and reduced competition.

“Listen to the trees as they sway in the wind. Their leaves are telling secrets. Their bark sings songs of olden days as it grows around the trunks. And their roots give names to all things. Their language has been lost. But not the gestures.” ― Vera Nazarian

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child #when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me #for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites #while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs #at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books #which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa #anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop #one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me #in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card #tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition #later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned #i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds #but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me #they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes #and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories #which i was always sentimental about as child #from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides #and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns #to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth #parents passed when i was a child #never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness #and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions #and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally #and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost #even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions #but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth #thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

I like to re post this every now and again because it's good advice I frequently forget.

Also I post it in part because I'm laying in bed with Covid (for the first time) at the moment and eating as much fruit as I can to expedite recovery. I grabbed a banana and orange, ate the banana and asked myself if this was a good combo or not. Glad I checked, because it was not. The last thing I need is indigestion.

But because it's me, my main focus has been doubling down on nutrition and observing my own results. I was eating plant based before, but sometimes I went a little too hard on the peanut butter trail mix, breads, or other sweet treats.

My doctor said rest and hydrate, but I took it a step further and since testing positive have cut out wheat, sugar, and any kind of dairy or processed foods. I figure nothing that could make inflammation worse. I've been consuming tons of herbs like cinnamon, ginger, echinacea, and turmeric while eating fresh citrus fruits like lemon, orange, strawberry, and pineapple daily.

Now I did a bit of tooling about the internet to see if any studies had been done over the last four years regarding a plant based diet and it's effects on Covid. The results were hopeful.

I found one study that said,

"Merino et al revealed that healthy plant-based foods could decrease the risk and severity of COVID-19.21 In this large survey, it was shown that as the quality of the diet rises, the risk of disease COVID-19 (HR 0.91) and severe COVID-19 (HR 0.59) diminishes.

Which gave me hope so I kept digging.

Another one stated, "Compared with an omnivorous Western diet, plant-based diets containing mostly fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, with restricted amounts of foods of animal origin, are associated with reduced risk and severity of COVID-19. "

And I can tell you that has been my experience thus far. I developed a fever that went away after 24 hours and didn't go over 100.4. My only other symptom has been a stuffy nose with sinus pressure. Im definitely tired and need to limit activity but I can still taste and smell, breathe through my nose a decent amount of the time, and I'm not coughing. I'm lucky in that I have time off from work and for that I am grateful, as rest is another key component.

And why would a plant based diet be so beneficial for mitigating Covid symptoms? Because, "plant-based dietary patterns are rich in antioxidants, phytosterols and polyphenols which positively affect several cell types implicated in immune function and exhibit direct antiviral properties."

The full study can be found if you pop this into Google::

Acosta-Navarro JC, Dias, LF, de Gouveia LAG et al. Vegetarian and plant based diets associated with lower incidence of COVID-19. BMJ Nutr Prev Health 2024:e000629. doi:10.1136/bmjnph-2023-000629

I was really scared at first and this information helped me feel more empowered in my health and recovery. It's not a substitute for any medical attention or prevention like vaccines, hand washing, and mask wearing- all things I was doing regularly prior to getting sick which may have also been variables in keeping my symptoms down. A little help goes a long way.

Has any other plant based person had a similar experience? Let me know.

Passing this along for people who might be in recovery, have addictive tendencies, etc.

This is also a good lesson to not just blindly trust products marketed as plant-based, sustainable, etc.

TL;DR - Don't drink the "Feel Free Drink", a product by Botanic Tonics based in California.

i dont think my ask sent bc i pasted the "bitch wtf" meme in there :< sad days

to summarize: Caretaker freaking out and Whumpee pulling at my heartstrings my beloved just- ough- I cannot believe you boiled them like ramen

New prompt but not the brand: Downy

~🪴~

prev

Whumpee ran their fingers along their downy arms, almost in disbelief. Their captors told them they'd never grow their feathers back, that the potion they were boiled in would prevent that. Yet...

There was a soft knock on their bedroom door, and they quickly put their hands back in their lap. "Y-Yes?"

"Can I come in?" came Caretaker's soft voice.

"Of course, yes- uh, no, wait, one, one moment..." They jumped up from the bed and grabbed an extra blanket, hastily wrapping it around their shoulders, so it covered their still healing body. They were incredibly self-conscious about it, especially after hearing Caretaker's first, honest reaction that day. "O-Okay!"

Caretaker stepped inside, carrying a little tray of food. There was something stuck into it. A candle?

"I thought... it'd be nice to have a little something." They set the tray on Whumpee's lap, then sat down next to them on the bed. "I assumed you wouldn't want a big celebration, but I couldn't just not get you anything."

Whumpee's eyes darted between Caretaker and the birthday meal, lips trembling with the effort to keep the sobs in. "You- you remembered..? You remembered my birthday..?"

"Of course!" they said with a smile. "It's marked on every calendar I get! It's an important day!"

Whumpee sniffled, then leaned down to blow out the candle. It took a couple tries. "You d-didn't have to..."

Caretaker placed a gentle hand on their back. "I wanted to. Happy birthday, Whumpee."
