Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse,

And the Lady Hollyhock.

Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,
Tiny trees for tiny dames.
- These must all be Fairy names !"

"In the high society of the first half of the century, marriage, despite it's bestowal status upon the wife, was the most absurdity. Marriage, conferring instanteous rank or money, ... lost most of its prestige and moment right after the wedding. ...By the end of the century, spurred by Rousseau's moralistic Nouvelle Hèloíse, a contrary cult, that of virtue, arose. After 1770 conjugal and maternal love became not merely admissible, but, for some, moral imperatives. ...

[...]
...Rousseau, who sought for himself the crown of morality in ostensibly defending marriage, presents in his Nouvelle Hèloíse the most enticing and extended defense of illicit love ever penned. The root of the problem is that as the century progressed sensibility became confused with morality: passionate feeling, if expressed in a highly civilized mode with grace and nuance, makes us forgive the Rousseau of The Confessions, for example, his pettiness, his jealousies, his betrayals. This moral-amoral byplay, present already in the novels of Richardson, was to be more intense as the century unfolded."

"...As the social contract seems tame in comparison with war, so fucking and sucking come to seem merely nice, and therefore unexciting. ... To be 'nice', as to be civilized, means being alienated from this savage experience - which is entirely staged. [...] The rituals of domination and enslavement being more and more practiced, the art that is more and more devoted to rendering their themes, are perhaps only a logical extension of an affluent society's tendency to turn every part of people's lives into a taste, a choice; to invite them to regard their very lives as a (life) style." - Susan Sontag , on 'Fascinating Fascism' (-74; p 103;104-5 at Under the sign of Saturn)

Nitrogen pollution can change an ecosystem from a pristine state where nitrogen limits growth to one where phosporus or some other nutrient is limiting. This change can favor invaders and may be what has happened to the native grasslands of the western United States and Canada where, among other alien plants, no fewer than five nonnative species of knapweed belonging to the genus Centaurea dominate pastures. ...the growth of western grasslands was nitrogen-limited, but it is thought that ammonia pollution from feedlots, where cattle are kept on an industrial scale, changed this. ...
Liebig's revenge – the artificial fertilization of natural habitats all over the industrialized world with the atmospheric nitrogen pollution – is like a massive, unplanned, and reckless experiment in plant nutrition. It has revealed that many natural plant communities are nitrogen-limited. In habitats like British grasslands, release from nitrogen limitation has unleashed the demonic potential of native grasses, and competition from these has eroded plant diversity. Elsewhere, particularly in the New World, nitrogen pollution has opened natural communities to invasion of nonnative plants. Many plants have a habit of running amok when they are introduced to new environments. ...” (Silverton), of Demons in Eden. The Paradox of Plant Diversity. (2005; p. 101)

'Autobiographical Romance'
by Margaret Fuller
[from 1840s] ; ...read via 'The Essential Margaret Fuller.', ed. Steele; 1992.
----------------

Not of any 'unifying' theme, or from subject, to provide alongside the essays selected on this current post/recom. Could, of course, entertain the thought from about some 'sex equality' w. the reminder that all these selected seem been written by women writers. (From basis that at our former essayist-post the selections were of male authors.) But actually that would appear just as misleading than anything else. Not selected from any particular reasons like that, even if I might've, subconsciously, held something like the idea. ; Let us then, just offer to a 'pretext' that held to maintain proper level from impartiality on this. ...And, let us then further remark that I've considered, occasionally, to have more from these essayist texts in general on our recoms. Often 'easy reads', not much of a trouble, or necessity, to have too plentysome from any 'co-text'. ; But perhaps then any later follow-up to that sort, 'suppose we'd better try find some that would better fit from to a more 'standard' from examples of the essays. Let us at least also make it a rule for those to some later selection(s) of strict limitations for any page count - 20-30 pages, maybe from maxim. (Or, maybe not.)

So, in my lack of any uniform theme for these, are presented just for some essays: In fact, merely writings on the quite very varying from topics. ; ...Alongside that goes the mention, and guess I noted that earlier already, our recent writings largely been from the literatures, the 'bellet-trieves' (,ie of fiction books) – And therefore it would appear more than proper, for change, have some of the science books to these recoms now. 

Only that it lately been out of the question for devote much any my time to have a better look on anything suitable. (On topics imaginable: 'Genetics', Astronomy, Archaeology...Just for some examples.) See, my intention (here) is not of present any particular 'best selections' on anything/most part. Instead, it would be of to represent at least something on a very wide variety of these advancin' sciences and fields from the 'human achievement' (And the consequences from, those, having always fallen on the non-human life, quite as much.) ; And let us then finally also entertain a thought from that given my recent reading(s), perhaps the studies from kind of social- and 'co-environmental' histories might emerge for the more likeliest choices for. Since the ecology we actually here have had quite well covered, from priorly. So in the futures, expect some boring pedantic and pagecount tiresome academic volumes of to surface for these recom-posts of mine, or on these 'reviews' by us... :) 

 (Above) ; - Unless I've perhaps already remarked of that, don't recall to this, but Basil actually has a very nice flowers, once you come to happen look from particular. Usually the herbs aren't recommended for harvested after when them flowered. Basil, however, of what I've noted, not on these latitudes very early does. (Here it mainly since that to 'leftovers' from the preceded depictorials on plants posts...or about.)  
--------------- 
 
(Beside) ; ...From continuance for the preceding post began series to a few  examples from the fungi/mycorrhizal varieties that surfaced on my cabin-yard/grounds, here's then a further remaining examples I had of pictured. ; Supposin this some other species from Boletus (Or, in fact it might be the very same specimen, only that I'd had that photographed some days, weeks later on during Summers...)  
 
; ”There is a new violence in the world. ...
The new violence is particulate pollution. This form of pollution is composed of tiny fragments of matter that will become airborne. Anything can become airborne if it is small enough, light enough or has the right kind of aerodynamic form to. ...
[...] Particles of 2.5 microns or less irritate the lungs and damage the entire circulatory system. They can reduce the birth weight and damage the brain. Metal-carrying particles accelerate asthmatic constriction. These particles go into the deeper passages of the lungs – the tiny bronchioles, where the body begins its oxygen extraction from air. These bronchioles are paper thin and delicate. They have to be to do their work. In the presence of the pollution particles, the process of extraction is hampered and the lung tissue gets irritated. The lungs can produce free radicals to fix matters, but this in turn causes scarring of the ling tissue, a condition called fibrosis. The natural act of breathing becomes more difficult with fibrosis.
The story of the heart is similar. ...
Hitchikers travel on these particles like magic carpets. The hitchhikers can be hydrocarbons of various kinds, metals or pesticides. Other toxins like dioxin and furans can travel and work together, making their visit more deadly. Metals like spent plutonium from modern weapons with its almost eternal half-life can make the trip as can various other jockeys like vanadium, titanium, oxide, and lead.
Trees and forests hold the answer to particulate pollution in a way that is surprising. Many trees have leaves that differ from one species to another. This diversity is found in the leaf's anatomy. Some leaves have a waxy cuticle on their upper surface. These leaves repel water and attract particles that are water insoluble. The undersurface of the tree is downy. This down is composed of thousands of fine hairs, all only a few microns in size. These hairs are multiplied in the full canopy into billions of fine hairs.
[...] This microscopic world of the leaf within the tree canopy acts like a fine-toothed comb for the air. ...” (Beresford-Kroeger) ; ...of the Book on below listed (chpt 'Dirty laundry'; p. 151-3.)

'...Riches of a solvent universe.' ; In the sense from sciences this selection of essays by Beresford-Kroeger then must serve our former established purpose well. ; While of course not pedantic, nor convention, it seems comprised of a number briefer texts, and all relate for the trees, also of their great very importance for human kind (/to the general ecology). Each, or most of the essays contained also sort of 'combines' the biologic, scientific, (and, fx 'traditional') knowledges from those many 'secrets' the trees behold. As much as I think I understand – some of the biology class I 'skipped' in my times...But from that part too I quite can acquire the idea, only think of lacking the basic education: I only have 'general lines' from. -Each essay then seem provide and offer 'paths' for a more comprihensive understanding of the trees lifes. Some basic infromation on from those several varying topics: Such as are fx: the foliage on trees ; the photosynthesis – How the trees actually maintain their photoreception of the sunlight. ('This is what makes them the most special species on this planet.') ; The Sacred trees ; fragnance (and it's role on life of the trees) ; the lichen and trees. ; ...Or, fx, the trees and that 'biochemistry of dream.' (...As I've learned, lately and before, trees and dreams have a lot in common.) - In fact, I certainly think the trees have to do with dreaming, not just literally and metaphorically, but 'practically.' Not that I'd know about any of that very specifically, not having any very precise idea from, on. ; Anycase, it's actually very interesting from read about that: ('... Trees produce a hormone similar to melatonin called auxin. It, too, is an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is produced in response to the changes in sunlight of the seasons. Darkness plays a role, also, especially underground in the roots. These photoperiods, in rotation, balance sleep or respiration in the tree so the dream can arise.'; p. 139.) (So, dream on...)

Not going to anything much else to more detailed on, or about, either. From an aspect that the texts/essays combined under the books heading, that 'global forest' - and the concept is ever more growing from importance - 'Suppose we have there every reasons for represent this to the principal recommendation on this chapter.

...'Though, guess I'd also to say so merely from reason that it been my intention from read smght of Beresford-Kroeger ever since I first encountered a mention to her ideas on that book by millenium-timing (Robbins, The Man Who Plants Trees, p. 2001...about, and here that was remarked now quite sometime past.) ; W. that mention (also) perhaps it then necessary make a mention from that Bioplan, too - Said for the Beresford-Kroeger's general idea from what comes for the global ecology and ways to it's (hopefully seen) recovery from the futures considering. Or, that for the peoples 'finding', cons the many benefits which could achieved, or 'harvested' from 'resuscitating' the long gone, forgotten and neglected relations for our green surroundings. ; Actually, decided of to acquire myself – sometime – also those books by hers, Arboretum America. A philosophy of forest (2003) and Arboretum Borealis. Lifeline of the Planet (2010). Principally from reason that even that'd here wrote quite a many word on the trees, I actually not own much any good books about the trees. Besides the books seem to have the meaningful accompanying advices or few words too on the usable practices if/when planting some by yourself. (Of these species at them presented.) And it been my consideration also from planting/growing some; As the decorations at garden – and, for purposes of sheltering, and naturally because of the necessary shading, plus for the 'purification' and filtering the air...Plus whatever else purpose one might imagine for trees having on one's locality.

...However, a short look to that Arboretum America then seems fill us merely w. some envy and frustrations. Namely, from noticing what the multitude number luxurious flowerin' and exiting lookin trees there are existant/is possible to grow on the bit warmer temperature zones. (While many actually seem also said of gotten scarcer in during times and several at least from their natural levels of woods and forests threatened of varying amounts, acc. that.) That notable of us having here the diminute number from only closely 15 separate species – Of course, all them very appreciations worth, "sturdy" northern species – But then a collection having such exiting 'examples' like the following, in the book depicted, described: Acer saccharum (Sugar Maple) ; Carya (Hickory) ; Indian Bean Tree (Catalpa speciosa) ; Honey locust (Gleditsia) ; Hop hornbeam (of Betulaceae) ; Hemlock (Tsuga) ; ...etc.
This much said, I guess it then suffices of this part of the recommendation.

Except...it might appear quite as necessary also from brief citation cons. that Juglans (Black Walnut, Juglans nigra) too. (Or, about that Cahokia, if it then was by formerly for some main example, reason from us remarking to these trees in question.) On that A.America seems it from read of followingly on the entry from these nutritious nut-producing Juglansean species: 
"N. America had already seen a great city built around the top-class protein produced by the Black Walnut. This city had a greater population than London, England. ...
The aboriginal peoples maintained an open canopy, which is essential for the black walnut's vigor, by means of fire. They flash-fired the dead, long grass in November and April. These fires produced ash high in potash and calcium, essential macroelements for nut production. The ash also acted as a high-PH pesticide around the walnut trees, which kept them healthy. In addition, black walnuts were groomed for noxious insects by two species of bird that now are extinct. ... The flash fires maintained the open setting for various species of nut trees and grassland.
Every farm and holding should have a nuttery attached. ..." (; p. 85.)

That reminded (that) I've occasionally seen the Black Walnut to overlooked in comparison for an European/East Asian variety of Walnuts. But the quality of it's nutrient seeds would provide some other good reason to this mention. (...Don't know, about too precise, but the species Northern ranges also gives me some hope to experimenting w. those here. Even if that just for the indoors growth, or merely in the manner from grown to house-hold plants.)
; Besides to mention, there's also that other honorable N.American nut-bearing tree, the Hickory (Carya). Indeed, what a life of luxury it would appear of have some those grown on a garden by one's own... 

(The pic) ; ...This too likeliest, I suppose, would belong for those species from Boletus. (...Of concluding from the shape of the hat. Though, I'm not to say...might be some other variety even.)
---------------------
Because trees have a cooling effect, for example, the temperature in the interior of a landscape forest is often a few degrees lower than at the edges, so while the margins may die, the rest of the forest can carry on. Small tracts, on the other hand, suffer from something known as the edge effect. When a new edge of a forest is created by logging or road building in an adjacent forest, sun and wind are able to penetrate the remaining forest. Exposure brings changes as far as a quarter mile from the new edge. [ao] ...allowing the invasive plants to find their way in. Many small forest fragments are all edge and will likely die as the climate warms.” ; (Robbins), The Man Who Plants Trees (p. 2001; p. 87-88)
'Confiscations and concealments...' ; ...Perhaps also would be most practical make these saying on that essay by Kincaid from briefest here. Of considering it for a fact too (that) I'd possibly practiced bit resemblant travelin' on that 1980s than a subject tourist at text. While not unobservant, nor/neither near so arrogant and indifferent than what arises for the main characters to that 'unfocusing center' of it. (The 'occasional passenger' jumping to a cab when arriving on a distant tropical isle described, Antigua).

The tone of the essay is bit of 'assaulting' – Or one might even say, irritationsfull. (The main idea seems make people aware from and about.) So the reader, 'identifying' for an imaginable wealthier tourist on holidays to warmer tropical sunshine paradises, and alongside neglecting of the view any from underdevelopments and ecologic disturbances historically caused, might perhaps either like what it has to say - on him/her - or not. And how that said. (I did hence the reason to this selection.) ; The narrative actually keeps lashing the persistent lack from understanding and held 'clean' conscience by that encountered casual traveller, from his/her self-assured indifference and unknowings from the conditions, histories and pasts of the place, an island, where spending his/her holidays on. There's no flee, no escapes from, sort of. And no excuses for. In brief: it's very effective and well written. Offers still something to think about. (While the times may have changed ever since.)

...I've not perhaps the ways from estimate how actuelt contents might turn out from this day viewed, now decades after. Back in the 1980s most of the so called global problems, and what presents itself as the global inequality, were probably written more in the sidelines than surfaced on the actual official story. For example, now that the ecological questions and threats are always on the view, that general concealment by many/most peoples doesn't operate quite on any similar 'tones' (I suppose.). On during these days you exactly can't go anywhere from quite similarly of the 'eyelids down'. Not even if you only meet the 'big shots', about. But during the 1980s that kind of level of the post-imperialistic attitudes was still maintained and might happened represent an adapted manners to travels. (Of course, still possibly does – But like said people can't these times pretend for the same level on themselves. Simply, probably, people no more have/can't maintain the similar false beliefs, even if they'd wish to.) ; At least, so I think of a few experiences and encounters I can recall for this day, of that far. Read it, won't do bad for your historical consciousness.

(But the 'headline' to this, in fact, inspired of an aspect that I didn't seem find said essay/book for my viewing anymore, on our local collection, while writing this. Some censorship, ...Here? Now, give me a break...)
---------------------
; “... In common usage the compound 'mountains and waters' – shan-shui in Chinese – is the straightforward term for landscape. Landscape painting is 'mountains and waters pictures.' (A mountain range is sometimes also termed mai, a 'pulse' or vein – as a network of veins on the back of a hand.) One does not need to be a specialist to observe that landforms are a play of stream-cutting and edge-resistance and that water and hills interpenetrate in endlessly braching rhytms. ... 'Mountains and waters' is a way to refer to the totality of the process of nature. ...” (Gary S. Snyder), 'Blue Mountains Constantly Walking', on Practice of the Wild ; 1990 Counterpoint. (; p. 109)

'...not feeling like some paid Corinne' ; This final example (Fuller), being from the ages past, ie written on a far earlier time than is our present 'periods of the time'. So, it's actually even more of a deviation from the 'essayist' norm. Additionally, actually these Fuller's early 'biographical sketchings' selected are hardly any essayist text in the actual sense of the word. - But I think it serves the purpose here, quite as well. I actually noted it from some difficulty to decide what on her writings would appear most practical from here contained. This selection avoids the difficulty, since it actually not by origin was wrote for any published word. Merely what the later compilators discovered of her diaries. (Such as was on the earlier post from remarked, about.) Likeliest it was written around the 1840/-41. ; And also, Steele seems from notice, ao, the text having an amount importance from due it had preceded her more renown writing, or her own 'rediscovery' from thatafter.
(Pic, above/beside) ; ...This maybe is some 'Puffball'. Didn't 'investigate' from anyhow more specifically while I was protographing. I recall it been amongst the few more obscure lookin' species, and there weren't but these few to be seen. The picture might slightly miscale the proportions, but seems was quite a large one, for it's sort. So that my guess, on this case.  
Of course, to Fuller's better known writings one must count the renown 'European letters', ca 1848-50. probably usually beheld from to contain lots historical 'fact and evidence'. Also considered to some her most appreciated writing, otherways. (Neither those are precisely any essays, but 'journalistic text'.)

Yet, 'Autobiographical Romance', contains many characteristics to an essayist 'type' text, too. Also, while being principally some 'self-portrait', it treats that topic actually quite externalized – Almost of a distance and w. a certain level of self-irony (Or, at least one can say there some amounts overall irony towards this 'process' in the writing about her 'early education')
; So, one feels fx not always too assured from the writer's actual purposes by text. Actually diarist, an effort to unpretended portraiture, or alternatively, more just 'for the record', some recollections only. ...What also at first fx gains some attention to any modern viewing, is that there's an amount devoted to her early years readings described of roman and antique authors and personnel. (Their influence on her and some she'd been acquainted via her father's library. ; W. that often cited 'Caesar seemed worthy enough.', also fx, 'The language alone, without the literature, would give one the thought of Rome. ... The power of will, the dignity of a fixed purpose is what it utters. Every Roman was an emperor.') That too seems relate for the periods 'high classical' education and these must be from quite characteristic 'idealisations' typical for the time, at least I actually can't avoid the impression; It somewhat seem arises/reflect from characteristics to Fuller's persona, no matter how admirable the other qualities. I mean, somewhat might had the effect and from to show also on her relations w. Emerson, and that brief encounter w. George Sand too. ...Even for the relations on Mazzini, (Giuseppe 1805-72; an Italian nationalist and 'refugee' from during most his life-years.) ...Perhaps. But since that not any too meaningful discuss, let us leave the subject in brief.

What mainly makes the selection bit problematic is of course the fact it wasn't a published text by hers, by origin. Soforth, one possibly should/would only treat/read that of that view-point reminded from. (That it mainly autobiographical writing.)

; ...Steele, on the words at 'Introduction' , to that compile, seems from think the text was somewhat instrumental and important piece for later development from Fuller's. Actually, fx, says that during the time (/via from her writing that was); 'Re-creating her first friendship in her 'Autobiographical romance,' Fuller analyses the ways in which 'a whole region of new life' was opened to her. The value of the friend, she suggests, is not that he or she suggests new thoughts (Emerson's position) but that his or her presence allows the expansion of the self in a directions that otherwise would have lain fallow."(; p. xvii) (Namely the latter parts text contain lenghtier part to her 'early years' acquaintance, or identification w. the bit older female-friend visiting their places of stay.) Her own 'rediscovery' is then equipped at that w. fx following expressed; 'Should the first love be blighted, they say, the mind loses its sense of eternity. All forms of existence seem fragile, the prison of time real, for a god is dead. Equally true is this of friendship. ... That which she was, that which she brought, that which she might have brought, were mine, and over a whole region of new life I ruled proprietor of the soil in my own right.'
...Which also appears, I think, also quite somewhat informative if one comes from think about the conditions and attitudes towards upper-class children's education by that period of time (1820-40s). The 'idealisations' and 'proper' heroics, likeliest, written at the co-text on those ages on a more than one level from. Which of course only makes her own choices the more notable and from 'independent', yet.

...'Guess these were from quite contrastive, and no doubt - quite limited – views to. But should suffice to this purpose, on here. (One doesn't probably have much the idea about Fuller, of these remarks, but are more so topical view-points on her era.)

One estimate I read (from around the 1990s written it was), said smght like that Fuller still from remained mainly a source of study from the professionals and the critics. And not so much read by the so called 'general readers' – In direct contrast for the more long since popularized Henry David Thoreau . ...'Suppose that from the more recent publication histories by now – seems it - that several more biographies and the 'related materials' might've 'seen the day' and well increased that amount readers. Yet, not would feel so unlike if her her writings still remain – probably do – lot less of 'hobbied' than seems been the case concerning her life's details. ...'Supposin part of the reason to that must been from because any of those not generally fall under a similar unified 'theme' as the Thoreau's pre-environmentalist 'message'. (Each case her texts seem also need/benefit of some accompanying information to their modern day reading. I mean the historical, and cultural conditions.) Such as usual, it's also a matter from what (anyone) then might seek for to find from the said era, or texts by hers fx, of course. What would be to the most meaningful not usually resurfaces on any first look...

; However, anycase, also now noticing, that by this day quite some bit a time since from when I read any from these (...of the 'essays' selected) So, I not think it now purposeful from us avoid any more careful explanating or from relate comprihensive detailed presenting anything about them. (At least this now has a few words devoted on each.)

(Pic beside) ; ...Of this my any specific identification quite as much only uncertain. ...But I suppose, it could belong to the Lactarius. ; ie, this case the supposition is for something like L.Pubescens, which would make it for an edible species (once cooked and heated.) ; Should appear from pretty commonplace too, while my identifications - such as was noted - aren't from to be too much trusted. (That so, or not.) ; Alongside - if from correct identified - of there's an aspect them seem resemble, somewhat, their 'close cousins' Russulaceae. The Lactorius said of grow here, most chracteristically on a birch- and mixed woodlands.)
------------------------
Then, I just mention, thought that we've here had priorly quite the amount my plants and cultivations of presented, every other post, from now an' then. So, while I think it would be enchanting for add to that number, obviously not very practical – From also concerning that anyone is free and advised of to experiment and learn by oneself.
 
; Anycase, this year, I planned that we'd instead represent only some examples of 'these growths'. But, from their very begins. Means that in the following post aimed from show, alongside, how these fewsome plants might advance and to grow until their flowering times here. (By around the Summer-season midst, July and August.) ; That manner, one also happens make record from the various 'phases' to these plant's growths during cultivation period. (...Although, I reserve a freedom from replace/add a few others instead of these depicted for beside photo – That from reason due because germination on conditions I can arrange not always very guaranteed, and, ...'suppose there always possibility of other setbacks too.) Furthermore, besides, all the plants I've forecasted from to grow maybe aren't successgully planted this early of year. Actually I now have the plans from plentyful from gardens flowers and even of 'shrubs' and trees sowed/planted, likely that many is even not very practical from contained on this serie...

Matter a fact, the picture (beside) is pretty dim, obscure (Of that, you possibly can't have much from any good idea from anything.) 
 
The higher 'bag', behind the others on pic, actually is a container of the ready-made mixture, nowadays available/sold on shops. Consists from 'compressed' soils, at the bag, and which then is watered and enlarges fromafter in bag, made prior the sowing of plants to that.
...The text it has reads the material from contain some organic soils, made fx from a cocos 'crush', ao other 'vegetative material'. Fertilized and has nutrients for some weeks necessities to the sowed/planted species. (Adverted from usable instead/to reduce the use of the turf - For the latter mentioned, on most places, appears from limited natural reserve. 'Resource' the more often preferred, 'proper' word, in the 'standard' language, obviously...) 
; While I haven't too much an assurance on any usability of just these kind 'organic' solutions – Seems to me, cocos not quite any self-evident solution itself, I think – Yet decided from experiment w. this bag as I had some need on indoors growing base to my sowable herbs.  ...Whether it then was from that the dirt was old in the bag, or whether I waited from a bit too long a time before it's preparement – don't know what reason for – but noted that instead of the promised 2 to 3 litres water, it was necessary for add at least some 6 litres to make the base adequate moist and usable on sowing. ; Not that it would've turned from any disadvantage, I've already had the Basil sowed on this bag and seems that do well in the mixture. I'll then add some other culinary herbs in their time, from the Spring advancin'.

The few seedlings that recognizable on pic, in the foreground, appear be from Rosemary. ...Since we've formerly said so much of the species, not necessary describe to this. (But let us then have a few remarks on that at following cultivation 'sequel' to this. Once the timing better for a more assured notice.)

We might yet observe, that Perennials are most practical from here being sowed no sooner than about June. (When the sunshine and warmth permit outdoors growing/planting.) However, as them take some time of to grow, and if one wants/hopes them for flower during the first season it sometimes practical make the sowing indoors, already of January.
(So I fx have on this preparation a sowing from this specific variety Cone flowerEchinaceae paradoxa, whose seeds I acquired. Placed on a warm-up mat seems that I had the luck of having some seedlings appear already after only a few weeks, ie w. relative little trouble. Echinaceae, I've noted, needs a bit more warm-up for germinate, while the caring seedling thereafter ain't from too demanding. ...I think, the estimated time needed for germinating - without any 'extra tricks' - is about 20 to 90 days. But, for some other seeds that seems appear fx, as much as some 30 to 180 days. And then is...well, actually you only learn about that by practice and experiment.)

; ...And to a final example on our series from fungi, this obscure 'oddity', for decorations. (In fact, it probably is the same specimen that presented at begins from these of fungi. Only photo from a slight differing angle, or, maybe that specimen wasn't yet fully developed by the timing...won't recall about that anymore.)  

Anything grown later by year, on outdoors, is usually more rapid to emerge and more likely from succeed. However, to some 'exception' (that) would've not been so good a choice cons the conditions we had last Summer, here - So there another good reason for my early cultivations here.
; ...Of the other my plantings it perhaps too early say anything, as yet – So, I don't. 
 
But I have among these few not so common-place cultivations, so lets see. (At least I've not formerly sowed much any these. Don't know what for the exact preparations most useful, or what kind of hampers on their cultivation might of resultant turn out.) None others were as yet germinated, however.

Let's wait an' see. Until that...Have some 'faith in the seed'.
