Do i dare?
They’re mushrooms for those not eagle eyed cherry 🍒
About half of what was here was too old or buggy, but there was some good stuff near the edges and at the end of the log 🙌🏽

Anonymous asked:
Does one have to get a degree or go to college to be a horticulturalist? :c
The answer is yes AND no. A horticulturalist/horticulturist is by definition just someone who is an expert in growing and cultivating plants. It all depends on how you plan to apply that expertise whether not you need to get a degree.
If you go into landscaping or farm work, you don’t need necessarily need a degree. If you work in a garden center or nursery you don’t necessarily need a degree. I say “necessarily” because a lot more positions these days ask for degrees. Some positions only require a certification or a certain number of years of practical experience.
Now if you want to use your hort knowledge to be an ecologist, botanist, conservationist, food or agricultural scientist, etc. – that requires a degree. So do any positions like soil or pest management.
I hope this helps answer your question! :D

adventures with prickly pear!
this is the only cactus native to the east coast of the US, and it’s a blessing and a curse honestly
a blessing because I LOVE CACTUS, the pads and fruit are edible and delicious, it’s great for the skin (the goo is better than aloe on sunburns imo), the flowers are gorgeous, and i love a girl who survives and thrives
a curse because it spreads like wildfire if you plant it, and the spines…. it’s an opuntia, what else do i need to say? tiny triangles of evil fiberglass pain. to gather it, i have to wear giant leather gloves and triple bag it. preparing it involves burning or wire brushing the spines off
i have… many stories about the dangers of prickly pear
How do you eat the fruit? My local bakery has some and I want to try it!
Ooooo yay! So you have to remove the outer skin and just use the soft inside. Wear very thick gloves so you don’t get the spines in your hands (if you do, duct tape or elmer’s glue left to dry works great to pull them out).
The taste is somewhere between watermelon and raspberry, with a texture similar to kiwi. They make great syrups and jelly, are wonderful in smoothies and sorbet, and can used for candy and fruit leather. You could also just eat them raw!
