Behind my potting table is a carpet of ground cover with tiny flowers...
I love it
the tiny leaf plant may be considered a weed...
but, it's staying
when the grass is cut...
we don't throw the cuttings away
they get put into the chicken coop, the hens' boxes...
and in potted plants as mulch to keep in moisture keeping down the need for watering
the rest goes over the garden rows that grow our vegetables
the dry banana and plantain leaves don't go to waste, either
most are kept down on the ground around the plants to compost and keep the ground moist
some are chopped and used to mulch and keep in moisture for my potted vegetable greens...
and as a slow burner and giving lots of smoke...
used in the smoker when my husband goes to the beehives
have you ever smelled smoking (burning) dry banana leaves?
the fragrance is so good!
and just outside my bedroom window at eye level and only about 4 feet from the window...
sits a sweet mockingbird in her nest in a bunch of plantains in the tree
the photo was taken from the window with a screen...
but, I think it gives the photo a bit of dreamy look to it
May your day, or night be sweet by God's grace.
