Hello everyone !
I just wanted to share some photos of my #garden after the rain. A #rewilded lawn, some #vegetablegarden pictures, a (still drying) pond, a young pear tree and a very young #tea tree surrounded by daylilies and goutweed. All mulched, sheltered with a #hedge and watered and fed by ash trees and Judas'trees.
The lawn itself is a young #orchard in progress, a young olive tree can be seen above the grasses and you might spot a persimmon behind the pink lupin.
I have a little #question about the Judas'trees : I have learned their seed pods are #edible, but if you are used to #foraging which recipe do you use for #cooking them ?
Have a nice evening !

Edible Parts of the Judas Tree
Flowers: The vibrant pink flowers bloom in spring and have a sweet-acid taste. They can be eaten raw in salads, pickled, or used as a garnish. Some sources mention that the flower buds can be pickled and used as a condiment.

Young Seed Pods: The immature green pods are tender and can be eaten raw or cooked. They have a mildly sweet taste and can be added to salads, stir-fries, or pickled.

Young Leaves: The young, tender leaves can be consumed raw in salads or cooked. They have a mild flavor and can be used similarly to spinach or other leafy greens.

Loving-kindness, or metta, is a form of love cherished in #Buddhism—vastly different from romantic love. A communications professor explores how it’s seen as “limitless” and “unbounded.” theconversation.com/this-valen… #ValentinesDay #Mindfulness

Après la bise, la rosée perle
Sur les sapins tout ébouriffés
Danseuse-étoile, une fée
Virevolte puis te parle

Entends-tu la mousse murmurer
Les lutins courir dans les bois ?
Chanter sous les Reines-des-bois,
D'un champignon bleu te mirer ?

Champignon, noisette, racine
Un écureuil égare ses billes
En se pressant sous la puie
Vers la douce et blanche aubépine

Un lutin, une fée ?

Un champignon bleu ?

Les as-tu vus ?

Sous la nuée ?


Peut-être ...
