Habitat out loud

[Telemark]

Looks like it. We have yellow ones in Ontario. I think it's certainly a sign of a healthy ecosystem if you have wild orchids.

My new plot is up and going. I got done digging it Saturday night and seeded it Sunday night. I got an inch of rain Monday afternoon. All bets were on rain friday night, so I scampered there as fast as I could and got my lime and gypsum down before the rain.

Got a little puddle in the new water hole.

I kept a pile of topsoil from the water hole for future use. I planted that full of pumpkins and squash yesterday.

Everything is up and hydrated. The lime and gypsum rained in. Should go nicely from here.

The construction is over and I have lift off.

I think I found a big deal on my property. I’m a complete weirdo when it comes to the little things and what they mean. I was out looking for storm damage yesterday and saw this flower along my trail. I’m fairly certain this is a lady slipper.

Is it a big deal? I’ve never seen one, and apparently they only bloom for a couple weeks, and it can take years before they bloom.

I found the smaller yellow ones on my property up in our same deer zone. I think there are two varieties and I only found them once. I own a part of the farm that has been in the family for over 100 years.

I have seen lots of the Lady Slippers in a few locations in the Chippewa National Forest. I worked with a surveyor in college days.

This that new plot from the other end. Somehow I always end up with the good part of the plot farthest away from the blind.

This is the thinner soil in the north end. It was high enough, and I didn’t need to bury much here, so I mixed up the soil a little.

This is where I stripped off the topsoil and put it back when I was done.
