Our grass is amazing. The star thistle -- I feel super bad, because the bees don't do very well out there anymore. They have to go further for food, because what used to be 200 acres of star thistle , we now have perennial grass coming back.
wasn't sustainable. The land had been dry-farmed for hay, which means they sucked everything out of it. It grew a beautiful crop of star thistle . I mean, my poor horse.
They-- I watched them one day as we put them into a fresh pasture. And they go straight for the star thistle . And they eat up the stem, they turn it around, and they eat backwards so that the little pricklies fall off.
dialogue. Thank you so much for that wonderful inside Dr Louise, which like to contribute. Sure, thistle is fantastic. I am so happy that this conversation is happening because we can see how it's turning to become multi layer. So I'll I'll try to give a description about what's going on. Right? So Paul Gilroy introduces us to the Black Atlantic, right? And how black populations around the globe share particular
Now that we have that cleared away, I'm having more range grasses start to come up. The sheep aren't as big on star thistle as goats.
And they eat up the stem, they turn it around, and they eat backwards so that the little pricklies fall off. So, now that we've poisoned that star thistle , we have grass that's a little bit more beneficial. And the placement of the plants is closed, versus we have perennial grasses that never could start until the star thistle had been cleared off.
The star thistle -- I feel super bad, because the bees don't do very well out there anymore. They have to go further for food, because what used to be 200 acres of star thistle , we now have perennial grass coming back. And it's been amazing to see what a multi-species grazing program can do on the land.
I mean, my poor horse. I'd go to move cattle, and his legs would be just bleeding from poke marks, because the star thistle had become so dense. And so the other downfall that we had was our little ranch was about here, and there was all these other bigger ranches
So, now that we've poisoned that star thistle , we have grass that's a little bit more beneficial. And the placement of the plants is closed, versus we have perennial grasses that never could start until the star thistle had been cleared off. Because if it stays-- I don't know if it's that way everywhere-- but just looking at my place and the garbage, when there was star thistle ,

vegetation. This is the painting that was created from it. You can see, for example, the chartreuse leaves at the bottom are inspired from my mom's rhododendrons. Next to them, are leaves based on sketches of weeds I took that were growing in the driveway. And some of them I took more liberty with like the purple thistle things. I wanted to see what they would look like in the future. I wanted to keep that sense of a much warmer environment, where you've got a lot of humidity's and you see the sun through yellow haze and the pollen
I right hand pretty much everybody. But I also play a school teacher, Kate Monster's boss, and her name is Mrs. Thistletwat. Thank you. I'm Jed Resnick and I am the ensemble, and I understudy all the boys in the show.
