Happy 2025! Apparently it’s time for another year in review. As I said in last year’s review, 2024 was going to be another year of pollination, in which I would write monthly posts on the topic of pollination. Well, clearly that didn’t happen. After two posts, I dropped the ball. That’s okay though. Another Year of Pollination will continue indefinitely. As it is, I essentially stole the name, Year of Pollination, from a podcast called Year of Polygamy, which after starting in January 2014, continues to put out episodes a decade later. A “year,” as it turns out, can also be a period of indefinite length.
2024 wasn’t the most fun year I’ve ever had. I’m actually happy to see it go. Hoping for bigger and better things in the year to come. However, one very exciting piece of news came near the end of the year, which I hinted about in this post. The past couple of months have been a bit of a blur as I have been writing furiously about weeds for a book project that should come out sometime in 2026. Something to look forward to. It is focused specifically on the Pacific Northwest, so if there are any weeds-interested people in the area that would like to help out in some way with this project, please reach out.
The book will keep me busy for a good part of the year, so I don’t anticipate being able to post a whole lot more here than I have in the past couple of years. But I’ll see what I can do. Be in touch either way. All the social media links and ways to support Awkward Botany can be found on this link tree. Thank you, as always, for reading and nerding out about plants with me. See you in 2025!
Most of the posts this year were part of ongoing series. So, here they are:
