I had a decent little pea crop last year, this year I’m shooting to have enough to freeze and last through the winter. Here’s some experimental twine support.

I hate lawns and am actively removing as much square feet of lawn as I can in a year, but in the meantime have to mow. Just found a great use for a broken trowel.

I’m new to starting tomatoes from seed - first year purposefully doing so, or at least in a very long time. Fellow gardeners, do you have a rough estimate from initial leaves to first true leaves? My seeds all popped up within a few days, but have since (almost three weeks) kind of stalled and I’m wondering what others’ experience is. I read 2-3 weeks is typical.

Rain barrels are pretty amazing, but I need more of them *and* some additional storage after they are full. Big thunderstorm tonight, after maybe 30 minutes the 40 gal (? - I'm not sure, I need to check) barrel was full. Drained off about 10 gallons into small jugs, and it was basically immediately full again. There's rain in the forecast for the next week, and with this supply, I'll be good for at least a week after that for the various plantings I've done recently.

The only thing they don't have that I used from Proton is cloud storage (glad I stayed with Bitwarden for password management when Proton came out with theirs), but that's certainly not a deal-breaker. I'll have to figure it out sometime; my main need is photo backup so I don't lose recent photos if I lose my phone.

2025-03-09 03:29:31 UTC

Proton leaving the Fediverse - & staying on the fascist bird site - was the last straw for me. Previous straws: weird support for Republicans from their CEO/founder, crypto wallet, AI integration (even if optional).
I switched to @npub1tk7…0m5c & so far, so good!

35 common milkweed seeds and 35 butterfly milkweed seeds planted, after being moist stratified in the fridge for a couple months. These will go to two neighbors on the street. Tomorrow I’ll start some to add to the existing ones in my yard.

I don’t know what St Germain is, but you can definitely do jam and wine. Another use is for ammo in blowguns! Mostly I think mine will be for wildlife, but I may give jam a shot. And probably blowgun ammo let’s be honest.

Woo! The (American) elderberry cuttings I ordered in the fall just shipped.

Good stuff on lawn conversion for the New England region: "Roll Back Your Turf: How to reduce your lawn and choose native plants that work".
And I have at least five of the native species mentioned!

Curious about others' thoughts on Homegrown National Park or recommendations for doing something beyond the confines of my local garden.

Stumbled upon a nursery that looks cool - "specializing in wild foods, perennial vegetables, permaculture plants, wildlife plants, and natives of the eastern US", based in North Carolina. (Thank you @npub1d0g…7n90 for the find.)

Oh, and I should have mentioned: I originally came across the book because the author was on an episode of the podcast Roots and All. Highly recommend both that episode and the podcast overall!

My wife got me a book recently, *How to Make a Wildlife Garden,* by Chris Baines, and so far, so good:
“There are three simple principles you need to adopt if you are going to create a successful woodland-edge habitat. You must develop several layers of plants one above the other; you must include a good range of native plants, from trees down to carpeting wildflowers; and you must build up a rich layer of dead and decaying material, from big logs to fine leaf mold.”

I think creating this post about my herb garden over the past two years took as long as creating the garden itself.
