About me

I am a Brooklyn gardener who loves native plants, organic gardening, trees, houseplants - pretty much plants of all kinds. I am currently earning my horticulture degree at the New York Botanic Garden. I will graduate in March and then I hope to land a job at a nursery or public garden. I plan to move to Connecticut or Eastern Long Island so I can have a little space of my own to garden in and be more surrounded by trees than buildings!

Favorite garden activity

Propagating, Weeding, Learning Plant Names and Info, Planting - I like everything as long as the tasks are varied and I don't do any one thing all the time.

Certainly looks like a puffball. Did it dry out to a brown husk that when touched or handled ot kicked put out a dust? They show up around here, northern Indiana, in late August, early September, after a soaking rain. Quite edible, as long as when cut it's white throughout, now yellowing showing. Slice thin, dust with flour, saute. About one a year is enough for me, though.
