Can you help me build what comes next? A few quick questions, no typing required, 3-4 mins?
Help me understand what interests you, and there is a new full plant deep dive on Scotch Broom as a thanks.
30 quick clicks, about 4 minutes of your day
Over the past year, I’ve been putting together deep plant monographs, long, layered profiles that follow one plant through soil, ecology, medicine, food, farming, folklore, science, and human relationship.
But now I’m asking another question:
How do I help you build a better relationship or understanding with the plants around you?
Not just identify them.
Not just use them.
Not just control them.
But understand what they may be doing, what they may be revealing, and how they might change the way we see the land.
I’m exploring a short recurring plant format, something warm, practical, and easy to read. A daily or weekly doorway into one plant at a time.
Think of it as:
Like getting to know a friend, one plant at a time. Your daily discovery.
The best part?
You don’t have to type anything.
No essays.
No homework.
No “please explain your answer using three examples and proper citations.”
Just click the answer that feels most true, useful, or alive to you. Thats it.
Every click helps me understand how to shape this next phase of Holistic Farming.

Still With Me?
If you made it through those first 20 questions: thank you.
You have already helped more than you know.
And if you found that easy, and you don’t mind answering a few more, I would love to squeeze 10 more questions out of you.
That sounds worse than it is.
There is still no typing.
No essay questions.
No pop quiz.
No one will ask you to identify a plant under pressure.
Just ten more quick clicks that would help me understand how people want to learn plant wisdom, not just as information, but as relationship.
As a thank-you, here is a Stinging Nettle infographic on how to work with nettle.
And at the very end, you’ll also find the full Scotch Broom deep dive.
If you want to skip these next ten and go straight to Scotch broom, that’s completely fine too. I will not take it personally. Scotch broom might, but that is between you and Scotch broom.

Thank You
Thank you for helping shape this next step.
My hope is to build a plant relationship ecosystem that is practical enough for gardeners and farmers, accessible enough for beginners, and deep enough to honour the complexity of the living world.
Because the more I study these plants, the less they feel like background and the more they feel like conversation.
Maybe the work now is learning how to hear it.
And as a thank-you for clicking through these polls, or even just clicking through the ones that felt relevant, I’m sharing the full deep dive on Scotch Broom below.
For the first week and duration of the poll, this profile will be open to both free and paid readers. After that, it will move into the paid library.
Scotch broom is one of those plants people love to hate, often for very good reasons. It spreads aggressively, changes landscapes, and can become a serious ecological problem.
But even with a plant like this, I think there is value in looking deeper.
Not to excuse it.
Not to romanticize it.
Not to pretend it belongs everywhere.
But to understand what it is doing, why it succeeds, what it reveals, and how a more informed relationship might lead to better decisions with it.

Thank you again for helping me build this.
One plant. One noticing. All connected.
I think what is missing is where can weeds /plants thrive. I'm in S. Florida and I can barely grow anything. This heat and humidity seems to stifle everything.
Thank you but cant access the stinging nettle info graphic. 🤗
