All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

See also our Environment community, which is focused on weather, climate, climate change, and stuff like that.

Pulled some overgrown heirloom carrots from a neglected corner of my yard, love these cross sections (beehaw.org)

I wish they tasted as different as they look, but they're pretty much like standard carrots, just generally less sweet and more carrot-y. I've also grown other varieties that were intensely sweet, but not as fantastical looking.
