Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

In the Back 40 Now


If you are new to this blog, the Back 40 (inches) is my small concrete backyard. From the top, left to right, we have California poppy, which came from seed; one of several ant condos, which came on their own; sunflower, self-seeded from last year; a volunteer aster of some kind, perhaps bushy; and marigold, to defend the tomatoes.

    You’re aster seems to have come from the same world as Weather Hare’s laughing babies. I must go there!
