Yosemite - Day 2

Yosemite - Day 1

Poisonous Plants

Poison-Hemlock: In the Apiaceae family. Characteristics include purple in the stem, white umbels upon umbels flowers. All parts are poisonous to humans, and livestock. May be confused hemlock root with wild parsnips, hemlock leaves with parsley, or hemlock seed with anise.

 


Deadly Night Shade - In the Solanaceae family, also known as the night shade family which include tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. The leaves on the deadly night shade plant looks like a tomato plant. The berries are very poisonous.

 

Note: Please let me know if any of this info is incorrect. It's what I remember from my 90 minutes class on plant families.

Mom and Dad visit the farm

Milking Feona

This weekend I learned how to milk Feona, and Benjamin joined me on my first milking.

Ever seen an artichoke flower?

It's beautiful, right? Taken at People's Grocery garden during our farm tour. Check out their website for great resources on food justice. 



 

At City Slickers

Natalia and I getting ready to clean the chicken coop (yes Dad, those are 3M masks) 

More pictures of baby goats!!!

 

Too cute!

 

Baby Goats Exploring

Daniel and Devin took the adult goats out for a walk, and Danielle and I put the baby goats in the big pen (their first time there). They loved running around. Also included other farm photos from the day.

 

 

 

The Future Urban Adamah Site

Urban Adamah is moving this winter three miles north to a permanent home. We visited the site and observed what is currently there. It's a vacant and neglected lot, with lots of potential.

 

Blackberry plant

Biking Across Golden Gate Bridge and through the Headlands

Amazing to ride up and down hills right next to the ocean.

Feona had 2 baby goats!

Two precious male goats were born on Thursday night, July 2. I made a quick visit Friday morning before leaving for my weekend in the mountains to visit Kelsey.

 

Last Tuesday (when they were 5 days old) Ayelet and I bottle fed the goats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Life of a Carrot in a Week

We observed the growth of a carrot in a week several days after the seeds were planted. Here's my carrot (I shortly learned it was actually two carrots). The pointy plant was used as a marker for my carrot plant, and to compare the height.
