My motivation for digging this up was @stortebeker Woot! A fellow Chinampas enthusiast! Is Steemit great or what?
Obviously, the audio is poor. The location was in Northernmost Baltimore County, Maryland, U.S.A. (U.S.D.A. Zone 6B). A peninsula was being formed on a ground that technically was already floating. You may have picked up about the mentioning of planting cattails in the pond-ish area. Cattails are sacred among indigenous peoples and for good reason. The entire plant is used. Around the middle of June, pollen heads appear on the male plants. One has to be quick to harvest them as they can disperse in a week. And no... ...I did not make moonshine. On the other side of the pond, is where I planted Milkweed and Butterfly Weed.
This is an edit: this whole area was once a homemade paintball arena. It became dilapitated. I was still tearing it apart and burning the pieces; separating the metal in the ashes, when this was filmed.
