  3. "Notes from a Large Planet: A Citizen’s Guide to the Earth" - Prof. Helen Czerski

    Awesome series of talks on how the global ecosystem keeps us all alive. (N.B. the talks are listed in reverse order.): youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU3

  4. Single camellia bloom on a spring-flowering bush

  5. Great idea: Margaret River Agricultural Show in Western Australia has a flower arrangement category for invasive species to raise awareness of the problem of garden escapees on the natural environment.

    Note that Victorian tea tree is on the invasive species in south-west Australia. This is a native of south-east Australia but a real problem as an introduced plant in south-west Australia. Australia is a continent, so what is native in one part of Australia can be a pest in another region. Due to the misuse of the term 'native', a new term has been introduced. An 'indigenous'plant is actually endemic to the actual locality, not to somewhere else in Australia.

  6. Mangoes are the one l encourage everyone here to grow because it is easy and it is not costing much but little space with a thousand fruits, as you can see today that one mango has more than 1000 fruits, so it does not even require much manure but little care for high harvest.
    Comment that l want to grow mangoes and l will be able to guide you in every space?. 🏵️

  7. Lovely day to sit in a sunbeam on the deck and process another several dozen habanero and scorpion peppers for sauce. Sauce cooked outside, on a camp stove, hopefully before it gets too cold. All told I think we got five gallons of hot peppers from three plants, instead of any of the curcurbitae that usually shade them out. Not sure what to learn from this for next year.

  8. Lovely #Kōwhai #tree in my #rabbit cage with Pearl the black half-Netherland Dwarf resting beneath it. Tree gifted to @MichaelaKHulse and me by @phil_stevens #garden #gardening #trees #TreesOfMastodon

  9. I also have a gallon of cider fermenting away in a friend's garage; I'll share some photos and videos related to that maybe next month, once I've had a taste of the final product.

    My wife likes hard cider a lot more than I do - I tend to prefer fresh - but the apples this year had a bit too much aftertaste, so we decided to ferment all of it and ask yeast to clean up the taste. :D

  10. Definitely enough room for some chickens! Need to find our ramp that normally attaches to the end of the little run.

    The big black fence is actually meant for a bike shelter but we just decided that since it lives in our yard most of the year between “events” we might as well use it for something! So making a larger chicken run is cool!

    Come to think of it… looking at this picture, I might move the entrance gate for the run to the corner closest the grey shed so that maybe the coop and egg box can be more protected from the elements. That would be nicer for both the future residents, and going to collect and tend to them!

    Note the @alberniweather sensor stations mounted on the little run. Next time the weather is cooperating I will take them off there and mount it up on the greenhouse! The white temperature and humidity thingy will go up high, the rain catcher will stay low to try to stay out of the wind.

  11. Does anyone grow Col de Dama figs?

    I got a lot of new fig cuttings this year and some of them fruited. This one is supposed to be Col de Dama mutante but it looks more like gigante. The coloring is supposed to be striped the longer it’s on the branch but it was really rainy this week and the figs were already ripe and started to split. Can anyone confirm either way?

  12. Harvest today and last sweet potato leaf harvest before spuds get pulled (pic taken earlier this week) 😊

  13. “Raking” the water to get the leaves out is weird, but strangely efficient.

    Most of the leaves are out of the pond and either into the garden beds or spread around the edges. I don’t really like the gravel and rock border but it is necessary until the edges are planted with shrubbery ( 😆) so this will help soften it and start to create some mulch.

    Then it was time to put up the bike shelter-turned-chicken-run and move the coop!

    Please call your senators. (find at 5calls.org)

    They will be voting as early as this week on the Bipartisan Affordability and Jobs Act. This bill scales back major environmental protections in order to speed up the approval process to build #datacenters and mine for #fossilfuels and minerals.

  16. Apple tree pruning is progressing. This one is another Red Delicious, but on standard rootstock. It put on quite a bit of vertical growth over the summer & was reaching up to over 15 feet (4.5 meter). Got rid of most of the vertical growth, the dead wood, crossing branches and opened it up a bit. It's also showing signs of Sapsucker visits. Got trimmings all picked up & ready for the chipper. Now on to the next tree when I get more spoons...

  17. Woke up for a nice lazy Sunday morning... then the guy next door broke out his leaf blowers. He's been making a horrible high-pitched racket for two hours so far, trying to clean his yard while more and more leaves continue to fall all around him. Not sure which is winning, the irony or the futility.

    I'd like to propose an annual day of mourning on the birthday of whoever it was that invented leaf blowers.

  18. taking stock of the yard and house post-windstorm. Nothing damaged aside from the loss of a few shingles!

    Why did I put the filter bog and pump pond on the north side of the #poolpond? This is why!! 😝 💨 🍁

    The hazelnut is stripped of its leaves. Ill just need to gather them out of the water
    with the big plastic rake.

    Greenhouse got a little soggy inside but nothing serious. It's already drying out in the breeze.

  20. But you have to be careful.

    Ginkgo thins the blood and belongs nowhere near warfarin, aspirin, or the two weeks before surgery.

    The raw seeds are toxic. Always check with the Doc before doing it.

    What it honestly offers: a steady nudge on peripheral circulation and the cold hands that come with it. An old tree doing its job.

  21. The leaf is fan-shaped and split down the middle like a small green pair of lungs, on a tree that has been around for fuckin longer than most of us have.

    Standardized extract is the measure, usually 120–240mg daily, and it honestly helps your memory state hold true. It does mine anyway. It can and does help.

  22. Im Hofgarten, wo die Zeit stillsteht, wurde mir eine Weihnachtsrose überreicht. Eine Blüte, die selbst im Winter ihre Schönheit nicht verbirgt – wie ein leises Versprechen, dass auch die kältesten Tage etwas Schönes hervorbringen.

  24. Finally got all the pipe bits, my tools and me in the same place and set up the feed into the new IBC water tank from half the shed roof. #allotment #gardening

  25. At times we used to sit while others were working, this is what happened, my neighbour worked hard saying that hard times create easy times, but to me l didn't get to know his meaning but today from his sweat one tree is producing 1000 fruits 🤔! But do you really imagine how he is happy 😁 today, so what is your next move?

  26. Finished a big afternoon in my daughter's garden: mowed the lawns (2 catcher loads of clippings), trimmed the top and one side of half a long box hedge AND lay down and pulled all the grass out that was growing through the hedge. I also did substantial weeding of a garden bed where I found to my disgust that the previous owners lay down plastic as a weed suppressant. The garden bed is full of plastic. Grrrr.

  27. Weekend gardening:

    Strawberries: caged.
    I did a quick and ugly job of it, but it was a matter of getting something over them quick before the birds ate more of them.

    Tomatoes: planted and fenced.
    The fence is to keep the rather large ducklings from trampling them.

    Cucumber trellis: built.
    I'm so close to being ready to plant the cucumbers but I ran out of steam. it's 5:45 pm and still hot out there and I need to make dinner. Maybe I'll get a second wind after dinner.

  28. It's a sad day, I picked the last of the peppers. The habanero will need to ripen but the jalapeno and sugar rush are ready to go. We're mulching everything and cleaning up for winter.

    I checked the bees today as well. They're looking strong and on track for mid November. I'm hoping they make it to spring.

    Have a wonderful evening! 🌆

  29. Our Yuzu tree is getting huge - I can't remember if it is 2 or 3 years old. It put on three fruit this year, but two were lost to end rot. The sole remaining fruit has some discoloration, but hopefully the innards are OK. Will pick it soon. The plant smells divine, and is doing just fine indoors in the solarium.

  30. Can't right now. Re-potting my Pink Princess Philodendron.

  31. There was something special about visiting grandma's home. You would find vegetables, fruits growing around her compound, chickens moving freely and fresh food being prepared from the garden.
    You didn't need to visit a supermarket to find vegetables. Some of our best childhood memories were created in those simple gardens.
    What vegetable do you remember growing in your grandmother's garden?

  32. I think I reached a new level of acceptance today. I spent the morning tending plants and flowers in my garden, many of them still happily growing and producing here in November. So, if flowers want to keep blooming, and chiles want to keep fruiting, then I want to keep caring for them as long as possible. A longer garden season is kinda nice (summer heat and drought notwithstanding). However… that doesn’t mean that I accept that climate change is OK, or that climate-change-related disasters are fine, or that we’re doing enough to address climate change (because we’re not). But, I am going to try to enjoy some of the unexpected benefits as best I can (before the next extreme event hits).

    Happy November gardening! 🌻🍁🌾🌞

  33. #UK - New branch for #LibrarySeedHub scheme

    by Emily Johnson, 31 March 2026

    "A further #library in North #Yorkshire is to help residents grow their own produce with the introduction of a free #SeedHub .

    "Voluntary group #GROW first launched at #ScarboroughUK #Library in May 2024, where staff encouraged visitors to pick up seeds when they borrowed books.

    "Last year, #SeedHubs were also launched in #Whitby and #Filey libraries, with a new hub set to get under way at #NortonHive Library, near #Malton, in the next few weeks.

    "GROW organisers said over 2,200 packets of vegetable, herb and flower seeds had so far been shared in Scarborough, with founder Darren Mancrief saying: 'What really excites me about the coastal seed hubs is what they represent for the future of our region.'

    "Mancrief added: 'By helping communities across Scarborough, Filey and Whitby to do something as simple and powerful as sharing and saving seeds, we're building real #FoodSecurity, #SeedSovereignty and #ClimateResilience from the ground up.

    " 'Every seed that leaves one of our hubs grows into a plant and finds its way back, which is a small act with a big meaning.' "

  34. #ScarboroughUK - Library seed hub to help residents grow their own

    by Katharine Wootton, 24 July 2024

    "A library in #NorthYorkshire is helping grow more than just imaginations, having launched a new #CommunitySeedHub.

    "Voluntary group Grow is leading the venture at Scarborough Library, encouraging visitors to pick up free seeds when they come in to borrow books.

    "The aim is to help residents grow their own food, flowers and herbs with the help of other library resources and a free online app.

    "Darren Mancrief, founder and co-chairman of Grow, which runs a #CommunityGarden in the town, said the bank would help bring people together and 'create #resilience through #FoodSecurity'.

    "Mr Mancrief said: 'The seed hub will allow locals to get hold of free vegetable, herb, and flower seeds to take home, grow and enjoy.

    " 'They can also donate seeds to the hub, which is integral to its success.

    " 'We think the hub will be a real asset to our community.'

    "There will be resources in the hub for growing and seed saving, as well as an extensive collection of books and information in the main library and online.

    "North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for libraries, Councillor Simon Myers, said: 'The hub will be a huge asset to the community.

    " 'Growing your own food can save you money, reduce waste and support local #wildlife.'

    "Councillor Liz Colling, who represents the #Falsgrave and #Stepney division on North Yorkshire Council, provided £300 of her locality budget to Grow Scarborough.

    She said: 'The hub is all about sharing what we have with those in our community.

    " 'As a keen vegetable grower, I shall be making use of the seeds available and donating others.

    "I would urge everyone in the area to get involved and support this worthwhile venture.' "
