I guess it's time I filled this out. I hesitate to call myself "old" because I don't feel old, so

the corn patch is good on nutrients! Last year it was sod, and I piled cardboard and a foot of my horse’s stall bedding compost on top. Grew potatoes in the compost and it finished breaking down over the winter. It’s six inches of fine compost loam! The bean beds are bulk topsoil over the clay subs

great! But even with compost, nitrogen can still be an issue. So, a legume underneath would protect the nitrogen and keep it stable. Something to think about.

I went down to turn off the sprinkler and admire the field corn. It’s so happy with the soil and the weather! Some of the stalks are tillering, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the biggest ones start sending up tassels next week. The two rows of dry beans at the top of the corn plot are twice as big a#gardening

this is wonderful to hear. But maybe you want to use clover under those crops to help feed them!

I’m pretty sure this beauty is Queen Anne’s Lace and not one of its more feral cousins. Watching the clover patch grow out this year has been even more fun than last year, because all the biennials I didn’t even recognize last year are flowering now. Two summers ago, when I first got the landscape#grownforagedharvested people would know? #gardening

be very careful eating wild umbellifera. Many are edible, but some are so toxic they'll kill you very, very quickly. One, giant hogweed, causes and absolutely terrible rash. Be sure you can recognize water hemlock which isn't a tree, but an extremely toxic member of this family.

They look similar, but we don't have Siberian iris (I. sibirica)in Alaska. Iris setosa, or beach-head iris, is smaller and found in Alaska, the Yukon, and British Columbia. It is the dominant (and possibly only) iris in Alaska. They are everywhere in Fairbanks from late June through early July.

I've been to Alaska twice but I haven't seen this iris. It's very pretty!

In the past couple of weeks, I've photographed over 75 species of wildflowers and now have a backlog of 30+ to add to my Alaska Wildflower Guide. With a few weeks of peak season left, writing all the articles will likely take a few months. For now, enjoy these beach-head iris (Iris setosa) photos frwww.lwpetersen.com/alaska-wildflowers #BloomScrolling #Alaska #wildflowers

this looks to me to be a Siberian iris. Is it an Alaskan native iris that I'm not aware of?
