  8. #Gardens that Nurture #Culture

    Spring 2022

    Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.

    " 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.

    "In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.

    "While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."

  10. #ClimateResilient #Gardening: How to Adapt Your Garden to #ExtremeWeather

    ECO gardener, Nov 14, 2024

    Excerpt: "Gardening in Extreme Weather

    Gardening in extreme weather can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can protect plants and maintain a healthy garden:

    Choose Weather-Resistant Plants
    Opt for #DroughtTolerant, heat-resistant plants in hot climates (like succulents or lavender) and hardy, cold-resistant species in colder climates (like kale or coneflowers).

    Use #Mulch to Retain Moisture and Insulate
    Applying a thick layer of organic mulch helps regulate soil temperature and retain moisture, making it essential in both hot and cold conditions.

    Install #ShadeCloth or Row Covers
    In intense heat, a shade cloth can protect plants from direct sun, while row covers offer frost protection during cold spells.

    Water Smartly
    For hot weather, water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and avoid wetting foliage. In winter, water during the day when temperatures are above freezing to help roots absorb moisture before the ground freezes.

    Consider #RaisedBeds
    Raised beds help with drainage in #WetClimates and can warm up faster in colder weather, giving plants a more stable growing environment.

    Wind Protection Strategies
    Use windbreaks like shrubs, fencing, or netting to shield plants from damaging winds that can dry out or freeze foliage.

    Invest in Hardy #ContainerGardens
    For extreme weather, container gardens are versatile—easily moved to sunny spots, shady areas, or even indoors as needed. [I do this with tomatoes and other plants]

    Optimize Soil Health
    Healthy, well-drained soil holds moisture better in heat and protects roots from frost damage in winter. Regularly add compost to enrich soil.

    Use #ColdFrames or #Greenhouses
    These structures create a controlled environment, extending the growing season and protecting plants from temperature extremes.

    Keep an Eye on Weather Patterns
    Staying informed about sudden temperature changes can help you take timely action, like covering plants or adjusting watering schedules.

    With these tips, you can create a resilient garden that adapts to extreme weather challenges while keeping your plants thriving."

  11. Made some staging for my potting shed. All the wood came out of skips. The only cost was £3.29 for the screws. The red wood preservative I already had, probably used about 50 pence worth. Need to go on a sowing binge now and get it filled up. #allotment #greenhouses #SeedSowing #making #recycling #SkipDiving
