DZONOQUA'S WHISTLE: June 2010
http://dzonoquaswhistle.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
A Natural History and a Natural Future in Forest Gardening. Friday, June 4, 2010. Another favorite of mine, these little star-balls of fire are blooming now. The native americans used to chew up the roots and/or leaves to rub on achy joints or keep sore weary runners running into tomorrow. I just like how it shoots up through everything else and dangles there in mid-air. Labels: edible forest garden. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

DZONOQUA'S WHISTLE: The Other Side of the New Leaf
http://dzonoquaswhistle.blogspot.com/2009/05/other-side-of-new-leaf.html
A Natural History and a Natural Future in Forest Gardening. Friday, May 1, 2009. The Other Side of the New Leaf. Gardening in the temporate rainforest at elevation has its difficulties(technically it's located in transition between oak savannah and fir forest, at 1000 feet). The soil stays colder and damper longer, making seed germination iffy, at least when I. The photo above shows my food garden before I started messing with it this year. The deer are voracious here as well as bionic, so the fence ...

DZONOQUA'S WHISTLE: The Mask
http://dzonoquaswhistle.blogspot.com/2007/01/mask-around-corner-from-princes-and.html
A Natural History and a Natural Future in Forest Gardening. Friday, January 19, 2007. Around the corner from princes. And chambermaids, past. Dripping clocks and sharded. Women, behind spilled paint. And blue squares, a whistle. Wanders. Banished from ungloved. Hands and kiss of men, the mask. Wails, lonesome for spirits of her dead. Dancers. Kept in a glass box, uprooted. Woman-hair black as mussel. String, halos unfaded bloody lips,. And sly all-seeing eyes. Caught. Of soft-chewed cedar cords. By Rober...

DZONOQUA'S WHISTLE: Dandelion Whine
http://dzonoquaswhistle.blogspot.com/2009/04/dandelion-whine.html
A Natural History and a Natural Future in Forest Gardening. Thursday, April 23, 2009. I've always loved dandelions, and spent a lot of time picking them, even before I could say their name. My dad let them grow in the side yard just for me. I love their bright yellow pop and watching the flight of the seeds.what's not to love? Thus the whine.). Turns out dandelions can practically cure cancer(and may well do that too! I tried the recipe for Dandelion Bread and it turned out great! Even my boys loved it.

DZONOQUA'S WHISTLE: Scrounged Garden Dec
http://dzonoquaswhistle.blogspot.com/2009/05/scrounged-garden-dec.html
A Natural History and a Natural Future in Forest Gardening. Saturday, May 2, 2009. Aw, I had so many outdoor plans for today, but the winds kicked up and I don't want to be taken out by a flying widower-maker. So I'll share a few of my projects. I think I'll get some creeping thyme (creeping time? The violets and dovefoot geranium will be allowed to stay when they creep in there. I'm not putting down any sand or crushed gravel like I'm supposed to(no money- unless I find some for free). I started...I lik...

DZONOQUA'S WHISTLE: Hummingbird Chick Photos
http://dzonoquaswhistle.blogspot.com/2009/04/hummingbord-chick-photos.html
A Natural History and a Natural Future in Forest Gardening. Monday, April 13, 2009. I've often thought about hummingbird eggs and chicks- how impossibly small and fragile they are. The grown up bird is a wonder in itself- so much ferocity and daring in a such a small package- and then this package dares to migrate a thousand plus miles twice a year! Kind of makes my own derring-do seem pansy by comparison(no offense to pansies). And the nest is an architectural work of art to boot. By Robert Michael Pyle...

DZONOQUA'S WHISTLE: Tree Bones
http://dzonoquaswhistle.blogspot.com/2008/01/tree-bones.html
A Natural History and a Natural Future in Forest Gardening. Wednesday, January 30, 2008. One aspect of snow I really enjoy is how it show the form of the tree as an individual. 160;The next day had freezing rain, rain that falls and freezes on contact with things in the cold air below the warmer air. Then the next day came the snow ;0). The mare's tails were more accurate than the weatherman who is looking at blobs on radar. All I had to do was look up. January 31, 2008 at 3:34 PM.
