Insanely high quality content! Thank you for teaching me about the nature that surrounds me!

There are little western sword ferns growing on my property. I dug them up to save them from being mowed by landscapers. Have a look in your backyard. You may be lucky to find at least one naturally growing on your property.

I wish I'd known this two days ago. Some nettles got me while I was picking berries. Next time!

There’s always next time, and it’s never too late to learn something neat!
