Insects are dying: here are 25 easy and effective ways you can help protect them
From turning out the lights to letting leaves rot, these small steps can create big changes at home or in the wildTess McClure (The Guardian)
Our local edible garden trail is on. I met a woman who’s turned a plain grassy slope into terraced and mulched raised beds with many types of citrus, pomegranates, almonds, every vegetable, and salvias to bring in pollinators. It took her five years from grass slope to the capacity to feed her neighbours in community dinners, her next move. I came home with a salvia cutting I don’t have and I’ll send back to her some of mine. She gave me so much hope.
First big batch of Costoluto Fiorentino tomatoes for roasting with herbs also from the garden (sage, thyme, new fennel seeds, garlic).
The liatris has these long flower spikes going. Some of the buds are showing a little pink at last. Maybe the bumblebees will start working on opening them.

The floofening of the liatris continues. It looks a little like Pepe the King Prawn, but purple.

Update on the local Seed Library (see previous posts in this thread for background)!
We've got official approval to start building it out!
We'll start the official planning, building, and then community awareness initiatives and concurrent programming and training!
Yay free seeds for the town!
Yay free classes on gardening and hydroponics!
Gardening is one thing. Community is another thing entirely.
Build community. Feed each other.

THEY DID IT!!!!
My local library built the seed library!
The local Master Gardeners provided a lot of the intitial seeds (oh my gosh we are stocked!!!). They used an old card catalogue to store them. Today's the kickoff!
The idea is you "check out seeds" from the library, plant/grow/harvest, let some go to seed, then "return the seeds" back to the library!
Free seeds for everyone!

Could use some more opinions on this from folks familiar with Southern US #gardening, climate, and #wildlife: reddit.com/r/plantclinic/comme…
Current off-reddit hypothesis is that caterpillars went to town on it and that it'll probably recover now that their busy season is over. The city balcony it's on is on the 3rd floor, but near some trees.
Cosmos flowers are now blooming in my garden. I love their delicate petals.

New blogpost - Enter the dream: my new greenhouse gwenfarsgarden.info/2023/06/en…
A quick peek at the new greenhouse that I love so much I want to grow old with it.
My new #podcast episode is out: When #Gardeners Run Wild! SEVEN hours of work only in the studio. Many more for researching and scripting. #Podcasting is HARD work.
I have to hurry for an appointment, and hopefully get to a supermarket this evening: the fridge is almost empty. Sleep!!! (Tomorrow I submit the time markers.)
You can listen to #NatureMatchCuts for free but also support my work/my fridge.😋 Find every info, platform and support button on naturematchcuts.net #gardening #farming

An #introduction: I'm Melissa (they/them)! Some of my projects are in my bio, but in general I am and do:
#gamedev & #podcasting
#polyamory #relationshipanarchy
I write. I #webdev. I play way too much Fallen London. I collect tattoos. I will not call posts "toots".
I like learning to be more imaginative in devising solutions to difficult problems. 🎊
Time for some Wandering #introductions!
Hi, I’m Lyn (aldersprig).
I like
#knitting, #mapmaking
#baking, #homesteading
#gardening, #renovation
#art ( #mastoart )
#reading #fantasy #scifi #nonfiction #howto
#sewing (in theory), other #crafting, hopefully #Papermaking & #lino this year
and any #apple #recipes you might have (see also above).
I live in cow country in the Finger Lakes, NY State, US with 3 cats & a husband.
if you're getting ready to grow some veggies this year, maybe my scheduling tool will be useful to you. I'm test running it this year but it's already helped me have a better understanding of the growing season than if I was trying to make a paper schedule like I've done in the past. #gardening
