The #wildkräuterreise continues

 I was invited by a dear friend on Bluesky to join a "#wildkräuterreise" (wild herb trip), which leads us to find and get to know 12 wild herbs around the Summer Solstice. The fun thing is, that I have most of them in my garden, but also found some during my lunch break walks. I already presented four pages some time ago, so here are the remainging eight to fnish the journey. Hope you like!


Ribwort Plantain


Elderberry


Pineapple Weed


Common Daisy


Cleavers


Viper's Bugloss


Lavender


Vervain

International Nature Journaling Week 2025 Part Two

 Sadly International Nature Journaling Week is already over, but I really, really enjoyed it BIG time. Althought I couldn't find any people participating on Bluesky, it was real fun to think about the daily prompts for "Conversations with Nature".

Day 5 was on so right up my alley with Bethan Burton's video "Listening to the veggie patch", where she shared her garden journal and how she listens attentively to her veggie patch. While listening to her video I created my own nature journal page. 


Day 6 was all about the Merlin Bird App and how it helped me identifying birds by their song and then describe, what they look like. Do you use the Merlin Bird App?


The final Day 7 was about "Creating a vision for the future". So how can we do that and stay positive? With all that's going on in the world right now, it's easy to loose hope and tell yourself, this is all pointless and creating a wildlife garden leads to nothing. But like I wrote in my Bluesky post: It's all about the fluffy litte guy with the bright green eyes! Without planting lavender two years ago, I'd never met him and be able to admire his green eyes. Maybe this can encourage others to get into action!
