Yellow slime mold. I hear this mold is intelligent and can learn. I haven't tested that myself yet but I do enjoy simply seeing it. My camera doesn't really do it anything close to justice. Some treat slime mold as a garden pest but I treat it like the beautiful art piece it is.
I walk this trail near daily. It's a small trail but it smells amazing. Its made out of Cuban oregano for the most part but there are many other plants mixed in.
The purple is "white sweet potato" the sweetness kicks in a little after you bite into it. The grass is lemon grass, Skeeters hate it so I try to keep a lot of it around. A hodgepodge of other plants that are edible.
Biggest garden lesson of the year so far - Put standing water UNDER the soil. Coconut shells make good bowls or bamboo can be cut to make large cups. You can use clay or other things also but just don't be the person who puts plastic in the soil. If you put the coconut shells or bamboo under the soil cup side up it holds water under the soil. Then even in a dry spell your plants will thrive while your neighbors wilt. I imagine this could become a lawn care business overnight. Imagine whole cities not using sprinklers to water their lawn or at least not often. I don't have time to get caught up in money and stuff so take these ideas and use them. I don't care if I don't see a dime from it, if it helps everyone or someone I'll get paid in the nonlinear economy in due time.
Papaya leaf! haha they turn a nice yellow when they first start to die and progress into a brown.
Word of wisdom for the day-
Follow God even when you don't understand. It's worth it in the end.
