I started a Bluesky page to share about my love of nature: My MTH Friends & Kin. (You can see it without having an account. Copy and paste this into your URL: https://bsky.app/profile/mymthfriendskin.bsky.social)

One recent post was about Ferns:

Ferns are my friends & kin because kin start as cute, tightly curled-up fuzzy fiddleheads; later kin open up wide and majestically. Coming in a lot of varieties, ferns are easy to grow and maintain. Who doesn't love ferns? 

We go to Garden in the Woods (www.nativeplanttrust.org/visit/garden-woods) in Framingham, a lot (I highly recommend joining and going often). I took the pictures shown at GIW (but I have these and/or many more species of ferns in my gardens in Ashland too): Ostrich Fern (1st & 4th), American Royal Fern, and Northern Maidenhair Fern.

I'm also doing lots of photography and posting on iNat (See www.inaturalist.org, dagtrees). I love to help others get started learning and supporting Community Science on iNat too. Contact me if you want support!

Happy gardening!
