Part of my grand garden experiment that I very much hope works out: I've transplanted three different types of moss all around my garden, most of it in shaded places under maples and tall shrubs where nothing else does well.
In this photo, a deer fern (blechnum spicant) with Japanese forest grass in the background. Haircap moss in the foreground, and... I think the yellowy one is sheet moss.
Most places that I put the moss, there was already a bit of volunteer moss growing, so I'm hopeful that the new stuff takes.

The city of shades (with Santiago Orrego)
This issue of Tarde proposes an ethnographic program for the study of urban shades, and proposes a preliminary set of devices for studying them as crucial elements for urban habitability in times of climate mutation
“Dappled shade can approximate to light or open shade where sunlight filters through especially lightly branched and leaved deciduous trees such as silver birch.”
What can be more inviting and soothing on a hot July day than greenness, water and sunlight?
#WhatBidenDid to protect millions of US workers from #ExtremeHeat
"The [proposed] rule would require employers to establish a heat safety coordinators, undergo extreme heat safety training, and provide workers with #shade and #water.
It would require a heat acclimatization process for new employees to gradually increase their exposure to high temperatures. Three out of four workers who die of workplace #HeatExposure in the US die during their first week on the job."

Interesting heat/sun protection device... aluminet shade cloth. I snagged some as an experiment, but haven't yet had an opportunity to try it out. I guess the idea is to use this as shade, and it not only provides shading but also does not allow the heat to penetrate info the shade like a standard shade cloth would. Obviously, this only works in lower humidity environments. #shadecloth #heatwaves #aluminum #shade #survival
When you have no choice but to wear fur on an 87° day in Billings, this cute rabbit wisely did a shady sploot in the RMC grass. Speaking of fur, my Shylo has a ton of it to spare, as revealed by my vacuum...

It goes to show how heat isn’t necessarily what’s making workers sick, Barab says. “It’s really more employers’ refusal to implement measures to protect workers. That’s killing workers.”"

The sun is scorching but the trees provide great shelter. With rising temperatures this will be crucial. #climatechange #forest #shelter #shade #trees
People worry about solar farms tying up agricultural land that could be producing crops. However, the shade produced by panels can be ideal for growing some crops, including hops!
