After yesterday’s 90*s today’s 40*s feel very cold to me. So after some early morning garden work I’m spending this cold snap indoors. I’m working on learning how to do better videography to make better online plant walk videos for my YouTube channel.
Learning videography
There’s more to videograpy than just pressing the record button. Or, maybe if I was better at actually making videos then that would be the bulk of the work.
But for me, the most time-consuming part is the editing. I’ve also been working on learning how to make highlight reels. So far, that’s not working out too good. But short vertical format videos to capture a moment or two are working out better.
The interesting plants I saw from one vantage point
These aren’t the ones from my course, but are some others I saw after I’d finished with that video.
I do plant walks all the time for myself and don’t always remember to hit record when I’m doing them. There’s an old hollow maple tree down by the creek. It’s perched on a short mossy bluff that looks like a fairy landscape. These plants were all right there around the maple among the moss.

If you’re interested in plant/herb walks, I will soon try to get some scheduled. Email me if you’d like to be notified, or join my newsletter. There’s a special interest group on my newsletter where I send announcements for things like workshops.
Gardening Time?
Most of the days lately if sure has felt like it. But this morning it was 36*, and night time temps have still been too low for germinating my peppers and tomatoes. Still, I have some started indoors but the floor temps in the house have been too cold, too.
However, we have a greenhouse under construction soon and at least next year I’ll be able to get seeds started sooner. In the meantime, I’ve been cleaning beds and getting them ready to plant. And I did already plant onions and put some carrot, lettuce, and bush bean seeds in the ground.
