acorn sprouts. i have over 10,000 of these in my yard right now. the front yard is in every way a carpet of acorns. not a blade of grass in sight. these are the aftermath of the noisy hailstorms of falling acorns that pelted our roof all last fall. i pulled these few at random from one square foot. i was a bit surprised to see just how deep the tap roots had already gotten, considering we still had snow a week ago.
sprouted (white oak) acorns

it will bring me joy next winter to think about the life taking place down under while everything seems so rather dull on the surface.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an acorn sprouting like this. Amazing to think what all is happening while there’s still snow on the ground.
Life is truly amazing
