Sounds cool.

I remember the plant ID books, where you went through a series of questions and it would get you to the right plant in surprisingly few steps. 

I think I have that book somewhere.  I know I have a tree guide but never use it.

Flower looks odd most dahlias look like this, but so many varieties. Color form etc dahlias have a tuber like root, leaves on closer look  look like dahlias

steyermark plant key....carried that monstrosity for a couple of semesters, think they are available again... were hard to get in the 90s but think they have subsequently had newly available editions..taxonomy classes were one of my most interesting in university... look up ash juniper pretty rare in Missouri but a few around Taney area

Such beautiful  nature!  Love all the pictures!  

Wound up with 18 tomato plants this year.    4 Parks Whoppers,  3 cocktail, 1 pink brandywine, 1 unknown mystery potato leaf, 1 mountain spring, and 8 Belgian pink giants. 

This years maters are the best plants I've ever grown !   All Organic ferts and  no manure. Second year using eco scraps in a bag.  Love that stuff! Also used Jobes organic granules and Epsom salt. Growing in just amended yard dirt too.  That's it.pretty simple.

First run of provider green beans were a success!,  a 3x9 raised bed I would have easily filled a 5 gal bucket full of beans.  Pulled those plants and  put in 3 kinds of carrots and purple queen beans  in that spot. 

Strawberries were so thick this year! I've got a 5x5 square patch harvested  6 cookie baking sheets full.
