It reached me via Deby Katz, whom I know through Amherst College.

Actual plant biologists love goofing off about plants! Check out #Plantsgiving around both American and Canadian Thanksgiving - we compete to see who has the most plant families in their feast! (Spices are really where you get an edge.)

This crew consumed 65 species for #PlantsGiving today. The youngest ate roughly .8 lbs of Vaccinium macrocarpon sauce.

33 families. Lamiaceae and Poacaeae tied for the lead. The Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute my bro-in-law injected the turkey with was a clutch player.

Alright, it's 8am EST on Thursday, November 24th - Thanksgiving Day. Time to start my #PlantsGiving list! I'll be keeping a spreadsheet pinned here and just posting pictures and updates below this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1526LlCdDCC_Ph_SUamKmwXWPXlA0ydpAQze1y6mjmQ0/edit?usp=sharing

Too much heaviness to go around lately, but this rube is taking a little bit of comfort from the sun rising over the Atlantic (and my wife). And, later today, by counting #PlantsGiving species with my kids.

Back in the home state for #PlantsGiving. #JerseyFresh

You guys! It's going to be my (the?!) first #PlantsGiving on Mastodon!!
