Hello, flog followers! It has been a while since I last posted a flog and this one is coming in a little late, but better late than never, right?
This weekend some of the crew went to the Minnesota State Fair!
The gang splurged on lots of unhealthy fair food that was delicious. We collectively got: pickle dog, peach strawberry smoothie, root beer, pickle on a stick (pictured above with Erin), french onion monkey bread, deep-fried cheese curds, nachos with cheese, sweet potato tacos, and probably more!We saw horses and remembered how frighteningly tall they are…We saw chickens, pigeons, and turkeys. We collectively agreed that this was the most perfect chicken on display.I found a melancholic beauty in these star-crossed lovers’ plight. If only it were meant to be…These were the most classic sheep we agreed. Their wool was so soft. Alpaca wool is also remarkably soft. When I have an extra $130 I think I might splurge for an alpaca wool sweater. We eventually took a break and lounged in the shade. What a beautiful group of human beings. 😭 😭 😭 (These are crying emojis if they are too hard to see).
We had a wonderful time and many of us were totally exhausted afterward.
Experimental plot flagging, emergence traps, and poison ivy! Read what Team Echinacea was up to yesterday on the field blog, written by REU team member Jak! https://t.co/SqVhudBQTghttps://t.co/2qym45mZep
Yesterday, members of Team Echinacea established a new experimental plot looking at the interaction between Echinacea angustifolia and Pedicularis canadensis (a hemiparasite). We will return to these plantings in a few years! https://t.co/9t9EB8UU7S
