    I’ll miss Monty Don, and I know I’m not alone in finding the show a balm for the soul. But this is the perfect opportunity for a shake-up

  6. Finished another end-of-season garden task. These Walla Walla onions have been curing in semi-dark on slatted shelves in our barn. I just trimmed off the tops and roots. This basket nicely fits into a metal file drawer in our unheated garage. This is a 4-drawer secondhand file that I bought for this purpose. Small holes got drilled in the sides for some ventilation.

    Typically the Walla Wallas will last for a couple of months. A lot of them will wind up in various soups. Yet to be ‘filed’ are Patterson onions that we grow for long term storage and German Butterball potatoes.

  22. 🐝 NEW: University of #Melbourne researchers logged more than 5,000 bee-flower interactions to map where five native bee species live across the city and which indigenous #plants feed them.

    Since #nativebees travel only about 100 meters from their nests, connected backyard #gardens can work like a bee highway linking parks and green spaces.

  27. It's firefly time in Bellingen

    * "In the early evening, flashing lights can often be seen cruising around in the forest. These are the little lanterns on the underside of the abdomen of a carnivorous beetle of the family lampyridae. These beetles have been misnamed fireflies. It is believed that the flashing light is used by males and females to attract each other." >>

    * Tidy gardens and landscape maintenance equipment unleash a blitzkrieg on the little fairies of the soil. The ubiquitous lawn mowers "mowing the grass" like a military strategy, so no soil micro-diversity shall survive. Line trimmers, debris blowers, chainsaws, bobcats, bulldozers and a dash of chemicals complete the terraforming.

    * Fireflies under threat from habitat loss, pesticides and light pollution

  28. Did you know that the word *paradise* (FR: paradis, ES: paraíso) originates from the Old Persian *pairadaēza* (meaning "enclosed around")?

    It all comes from the ancient Paradise Gardens of Persia.
