Tonight I watched the 87 lighting of the NYC Christmas Tree and have been looking for websites that ID trees. I plan to collect native trees (seedlings) on my property to transplant onto Indian Island - just off the south coast of Long Island in Lindenhurst in Springtime.
Sassafras
Black Cherry
Mulberry
Red Bark Dogwood
for starters. Why didn't I ever observe fruit on sassafras or wonder how it made babies on my property? I feel foolish I never thought more deeply about this. I have several that I will dig up for Indian Island.
I donated 70 - 80 vegetable plants to the church rectory vegetable garden to grow for their Monday night food program, Nourishing Babylon.
Reverend Clare Nesmith is a visionary who saw to fruition the creation of the garden at the rectory and the Monday night dinners for those in need.
I want to help next year by organizing what plants the kitchen will need and then start the seeds in early Spring.
to be continued.
Wild Oddities of a Nature Woman is a down-to-earth blog that embraces Mother Nature and all living things in a gentle, sustainable way. Come take trips with me into the gardens, the seashore, greenbelt trails, wildflower meadows, on a sailboat, and into my kitchen. This summer, travel with me to the ancient county of Cornwall, UK as I volunteer on 3 organic farms in the place where my ancestors were born, lived, worked, and died.

January 26, 2019 - updating older blog posts with pictures & comments
My heart has been fully fulfilled with the 44 days spent in my beloved Cornwall, and from meeting such wonderful, kind, and happy people.
As I continue to work on my ancestry through ancestry.com, I have a much clearer ability to see things the way they might have been because I walked the old cobblestone streets and saw so many antiquities and wild places still as they were 100's of years ago.
Today I uploaded more pictures from the trip 7 - 9 months ago. This is still a work in progress.
