Backyard Almanac: invasive plant used to combat anxiety and stress is CAUSING anxiety and stress
16/07/2021 Duration: 20minAs we slip into those lazy, hazy, crazy days of mid-summer, there's plenty to see whether we take a sidewalk stroll or hike in a wilderness area. Watch for photographers: they've either got a bead on a beautiful plant, bird, animal or insect, or they're like naturalist (and our special guest host) Judy Gibbs and they're doing their part as citizen scientists and documenting the spread of invasive species in our area. And while we know Duluth is a great place to live, why does valerian think so, too?

Backyard Almanac: moths - we'll leave a light on for you
09/07/2021 Duration: 14minThis week, we had two days of temperatures above 90° -- and then Brimson almost broke the record with a low of 30°. But nothing tops the week of July 7-13 in 1936, when the entire country sweltered under a series of heat waves. 17 of the 48 contiguous states and two Canadian provinces tied or broke their all-time heat records and many of those records are still unbroken. In Duluth, six of those records still stand: doubly impressive when you learn temperatures were only recorded by the lake in those days.

Backyard Almanac: life is just a bolete of cherries - uh, dewberries
02/07/2021 Duration: 12minLast month blew through the previous record (set in 1910) for the hottest June on record - and that's 150 years of records. We got only 40% of the rain we get in an average June, too. But last year, July was our wettest month. And there are all kinds of things to see and enjoy (think wildflowers, berries and aphelion) in the great outdoors.
