The entirety of the Columbia Basin in the USA is quite arid. I'd love to read a link to the research you mentioned about it.

Just a brief newspaper article about the subject, Rhodie.

WSU may be publishing more information.

A year ago, the effort locally was to buy land for public use and not real estate development. It would have meant higher taxes. Oh, No! Well, how many people and how much misuse of the surface can be tolerated when the water for the communities is directly below??

Microwaved a diced peach, applied Crispix over the top, poured almond milk to fill bowl. Join me for other pre-dawn recipes!

Gained another small harvest from the Lemon Verbena plants. I think that this year, my supply of Anise Hyssop will not surprise me by being depleted before the LV. More AH plants here and there around the yard ... that I didn't plant! The older ones returned just fine, as well.

I can imagine how AH might be invasive where the soil has been disturbed. To the delight of the bees, they are absolutely determined to bloom. Maybe 2 harvests of tender stems with a reasonable number of leaves, then the magic of shortening daylight must prompt blooming. I cut a plant to the ground yesterday and harvest just enough leaves for 1 big mug of tea. Seeds are tiny and easily scattered so I have all these plants lively with bees and fragrant, but I'm down to seeds & stems for the tea kettle.

breakfast today was some cottage cheese with a chunked up tomato on top.
