  1. The butternut squash may be a winner this year, but the Sunburst squash was very disappointing. It never grew with any vigor & we only got perhaps two dozen fruit from 4 hills (20 plants). I used to harvest several hundred pounds of this variety over the course of a season, every year up until last year, and now next to nothing. I am going to research a different source of seed for next year. Anyone else have a bad Sunburst crop the last couple of yrs?

  3. #NewZealand #Aotearoa - #CommunityPantry Locations

    "Finding community pantries near me is becoming a priority for many New Zealand families navigating the rising cost of living and seeking to reduce food waste through community-led sharing initiatives. These #PātakaKai (food storehouses) operate on the principle of ‘take what you need, leave what you can,’ providing a vital safety net that fosters #manaakitanga (hospitality and care) within our diverse neighborhoods from Northland to Southland.

    The concept of the community pantry has evolved rapidly in Aotearoa. What started as a few informal ‘#SharingSheds’ has grown into a sophisticated national network of Pātaka Kai.

    In the current economic climate, #FoodInsecurity affects a broad demographic of New Zealanders. These pantries provide immediate, #BarrierFreeAccess to nutrition without the stigma often associated with traditional #WelfareQueues.

    Moreover, these locations are hubs for #sustainability. By redirecting surplus #garden produce and supermarket ‘best-before’ items, they play a critical role in the #CircularEconomy of our local regions.

    'The Pātaka Kai movement is more than just food; it is about restoring dignity to our communities and ensuring that no one goes hungry while our land produces so much abundance.' — Community Leader, NZ #FoodSovereignty Project.

    - Reduces local #FoodWaste significantly.
    - Strengthens neighborhood social ties.
    - Provides 24/7 access to emergency food supplies.
    - Encourages the sharing of home-grown organic produce."

    #MtPleasantPublicLibrary

    "#GrowYourOwn garden with the help of our Seed Library—a collection of quality, regional flower and vegetable seeds that you can 'check out' for free at the Main Library.

    What is a Seed Library?

    A Seed Library is a collection of flower and vegetable seeds that you can 'check out' for free. Some Seed Libraries include seeds that have been saved by library patrons, or seeds donated from nurseries. We might have those sources one day at Mt. Pleasant Library, but for now we have seeds purchased from quality regional seed producers in #Maine and #AccordNY.

    The purpose of a Seed Library is to encourage #SustainableGardening and #biodiversity by providing free access to seeds. These initiatives empower community members to grow their own food; learn #SeedSaving skills; preserve local, rare, or #HeirloomPlant varieties; and reduce reliance on #CommercialSeedCompanies. This helps combat seed #monocultures that threaten the world's food supply.

    How does our Seed Library work?

    - Go to the Gardening Special Collection at the Main Library and browse our Seed Library binder which includes details about each type of seed we offer.
    - Help yourself to up to 5 seed packets per visit.
    - Fill out a short form listing which seeds you took and if there are any seeds you want to request so that we can keep our Seed Library well stocked.
    - Go and plant a garden!

    What kind of seeds do we have?

    - Vegetables, such as Amish Paste Organic Tomato, Marketmore and 76 Organic Cucumber
    - Herbs, such as Genovese Basil
    - Flowers, such as Purple Stem Asters, which are a great source of nectar for #bumblebees and other #pollinators in the #HudsonValley, and #SpottedJoePyeWeed, which is a native, locally sourced perennial that supports #butterfly populations
    Check out our Seed Library binder for the full list of seeds we offer!"

  16. Spent some time at the #CommunityGarden today. Planted some #BlackBeans and #Potatoes, and pulled up some weeds (the flowers should be popping up after all that rain). Had a cool conversation with my neighbor who is a selectboard member and who helped get the garden going again, and told him what a great job he is doing. I mean, #composters, #rainbarrels, making the #CommunityCenter an #EmergencyShelter, supporting #DatacenterMoratoriums and #SmartGrowth. What more could one ask for in a town rep!

  17. 12 Groups of #CompanionPlants to Make Your #VegetableGarden Thrive

    Some plants help each other enormously, while others hinder their neighbors – use this cheat sheet to ensure harmony in the vegetable plot.

    By Melissa Breyer
    Updated April 18, 2023

    "There can be real discordance in the vegetable garden. Placing plants side-to-side that vie with one another, for example, does not do much good for any of them. But there is wonderful community that can happen between plants as well – and it's a great way to strategize when plotting out a garden plot.

    Welcome to companion planting."

  19. That's the solenacea (tomato, chilli, capsicum, eggplant, tomatillo, and cape gooseberry) germination run pretty much complete now.

    Far too many seedlings. 😅

    Some of the little pots have 2 or 3 in them, at a quick count there are 204 seedlings here.

    We can fit in maybe 30 tomatoes max, and similar for chillies, plus a dozen each of capsicums and eggplants. And that's really quite a bit optimistic.

    "At 12:30 p.m., Petra Page-Mann of #FruitionSeeds will deliver an interactive keynote presentation. Page-Mann and her nonprofit seed company are strong advocates of 'gift culture,' which involves giving away seeds to promote food cultivation and community building. This ethos aligns perfectly with the theme of SEED FEST.

    "The exhibiting partners will provide valuable information, hands-on activities, items for sale, and an abundance of free seeds and seedlings.

  21. Ooops, it has somehow been a whole week since I last posted about my chillies! Germination of the chillies in the previous post is now well underway, with nine pots moved to the #GrowShelf from the #HotFridge.

    The varieties germinated so far are:

    • 2x Biquinho Red
    • 2x Biquinho Yellow
    • 1x CC Jalapeño
    • 2x KhangStarr StarrLing
    • 2x Trepaderia Werner

    Note that I count "per pot" rather than per-seed, so some of these I have more of and an option to grow-on extras, for example there are actually 3x seedlings of each of the 2x above.

    #Chillies #Peppers #ChiliPeppers #GYO

  22. About half my chillies have germinated already - some time in the last 36 hours anyway. Chamomile soaked from 25th Jan, planted in pairs in mini pots on 28th Jan and popped into the #HotFridge, germinated circa 3rd/4th Feb.

    If there is a race to be won here I guess the prize goes to the Chilli Chump "Kimchi Pepper" seeds — all 4 seeds strongly germinated!

    Currently our no-shows are Chilli Chump Naga Morich, and also both Rocoto varieties (Marlene and Costa Rica, also both Chilli Chump, from last year.)

    On the superhot germination front we have have a single Naga Morich from Fatalii and a single 7 Pot Brainstrain Yellow from Chilli Chump. That's pretty speedy for superhots really.

    Fridge is set to high-20s for chilli germination.

    Chilli seeds are in dirt after ~48h in chamomile.

    That's the first seeds of 2026 in: 7Pot Brainstrain Yellow, Aji Habanero, Aji Mango, CC Piri Piri, Chupetinho White, Goronong, Habenero Hot Lemon, Kashmiri Mirch, Kimchi Pepper, Naga Morich from Chilli Chump, Naga Morich from Fatalii, Rawit, Rocoto Costa Rica, Rocoto Marlene.

    Two seeds per mini-pot, four of each variety total, fiftysix seeds in. (There are a few more to come.)

  26. I got lazy and this year it is just going to be all my bets placed on a single ferment.... I'm calling it "all the red ones"... well, almost all, kept a few back for other purposes - and also in went some yellow Trinidad Perfume. I don't really do rules. I am chaos. (You should see the state of my kitchen, or pigsty as some may consider it. I just don't know how people do things and also have tidy and clean spaces, there isn't enough time to even just do the things as it is.)

    Anyway... the chillies in the mash are, in approx order of volume: thunder mountain long horn, unknown red chilli, naga morich, trinidad perfume, cc piri piri... probably some others snooked in too.

    Slightly under 1kg of mash, 2.5% salt by weight.

    Now it just needs to sit for a few weeks/months/until-i-can-be-arsed-with-it.

  27. Roughly hand crushed dried red seedless chilli flakes... a selection including piri piri, thunder mountain longhorn, kashmiri mirch, bishops crown, and a bunch of an unknown variety (bought as Scotch bonnet, definite wasn't!) The result is so much richer and tastier than any store bought flakes I have ever tried... though pretty much a whole dehydrator load of chillies results in just this ~90g of flakes in one small jar.

    Now to remember to be careful where I am putting my hands for the next day or so. 😅
