I was 'following' trees before that started - and am continuing - so I've offered to help link others who are doing the same. The details are on my blog, Loose and Leafy. http://looseandleafy.blogspot.com/ I'm making a list of people who are noting the progress of a particular tree (or group of trees, the plants and fungi associated with an individual tree . . . or . . . the definition of 'tree following' is fluid!) If you would like to join in with this, let me know and I'll add your blog to the list - with a link. Then, whenever you post about 'your' tree, let me know - either by leaving a note in the comments or by email, and I'll put an updated link to that too. It's all very informal and I'm still working out the best way to do it but do let me know if you would like to take part. Lucy Corrander Hello
I’ve noticed your blog in the sidebar of ‘Tree Year’.
I was ‘following’ trees before that started – and am continuing – so I’ve offered to help link others who are doing the same.
The details are on my blog, Loose and Leafy.

We had good success in getting the moss to establish. I remember keeping it watered was very important as well as using a solution of sulpher at the time of planting and periodically as it got a foothold. Moss is a very attractive plant to landscape with. I wish more folks saw the value in it. I’ve helped create moss gardens in the past. We had good success in getting the moss to establish.

We have a lot of moss in GA too. I've tried to create a moss garden by moving some already established patches to a different shady wet spot---but the robins tore it up before it got a foothold. CAN it get a foothold if you move it from its home? Your informative post gave me an idea---to wait for the "sporophytes" that shoot up after a rain to move it. Maybe timing is key? Beautiful.

I camped on a beach on Isla Danzante in the Sea of Cortez and discovered a rattlesnake pretty close to my tent in the morning. He didn't move because it was too early in the morning and cool. Good thing, snakes are my primal gear, yes, even garter snakes that I saw a lot as kid growing up in East Multnomah County, when it was much more agricultural and less subdivisions.

The snake looks pretty well camouflaged. I love Garter Snakes, although I still have a visceral, old-brain reaction if I'm gardening and accidentally disturb one that slithers toward me. I like knowing ahead of time I'm dealing with a snake. :) Good eye on your son’s part. The snake looks pretty well camouflaged.

As they say in the rural south, he's been "RAISED RIGHT!" :-) (think southern accent when you read that) What sharp eyes your son has—-the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, methinks.
