The Arts and Sciences ADHD Inspiration Fairy has been absent for quite some time. I’ve been putting a lot more energy into my native plant garden, mostly because native plants are way less work once they establish. About a week ago it FINALLY hit me: I don’t have to focus on Europe/the Near East/North Africa. I can work on learning and documenting local Indigenous food plants, starting with what I have already growing! This will necessitate learning a LOT more about oral traditions. I’m starting by reading Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and looking at what public events the Duwamish Longhouse is putting on. Please enjoy photos of some of my native edibles:
