This was 50 miles offshore off the coast of Venice, Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.
It looked to be about 7 feet and seemed to weigh around 150 pounds. That’s what my dad guessed anyway and he fishes quite a lot!
I’m moving to Vancouver, Washington (10 min from Portland) next week from Florida and I’m trying to figure out what I should plant in my yard/garden. It’s a very different climate so this will be all new territory for me! I attached a pic of part of the yard but this is just a small part of it.
I’ve done a tiny bit of gardening in Florida, but not much since I never had a yard. Now I’ll have a huge yard surrounded by forest!
I don’t really care about having a neat, well manicured backyard or anything. It already has a very wild look and I like that. I’m looking for things I can plant that are relatively low maintenance and will be useful in some way. Whether that’s for food, medicine, crafting (like dogsbane or hemp), or native host plants for critters.
Any ideas on some native plants that I can eat or use that would thrive in the PNW climate would be super appreciated!

I went out fishing on Friday and we saw tons of dolphins! Saw a couple pods of spinner dolphins and some pods of what I assume are Atlantic spotted dolphins.
Then we came across this pod that looks like it has mostly Atlantic spotted dolphins with a couple of bottle nose dolphins that are also part of the pod! You can see the two swimming side by side at the beginning of the video.
This was 50 miles offshore in the gulf, off the coast of Venice, Florida.
I didn’t know that dolphins mixed pods like this! Is that really what’s going on?
