One of the happy successes this year was the mini cabbage. We got 2 different varieties at the suggestion of our daughter. We planted "Tiara" and "Caraflex" both from Johnnies. One is pointy and one is round, can't remember which is which.The small heads are great on the mandolin slicing for coleslaw.And now that the carrots are ready, we can make lots! The second planting really loved the cool, wet August.

Planning the perfect Christmas dinner? Your homegrown Brussels sprouts are the star! 🌱
Top Tip: For bigger, more uniform sprouts, pinch out the main growing tip at the top of the plant in the next few weeks. This focuses all the plant's energy into fattening up the sprouts on the stalk. #gyo

#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."

#ClimateResilient #Gardening: Stories and Examples

Growing food #locally is a #ClimateChange solution

Updated: April 1, 2026

"How are #Maryland gardeners adapting their #gardens and #GreenSpaces to climate change? We posed this question to our colleagues in the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and they shared examples of everything from #composting and food gardening to #PlantingTrees and #NativePlants, installing #RainGardens, and more!

"Action on climate change is needed on a large scale, and our individual daily actions add up also. Check out these stories and take our quick poll at the end. Tell us how you're doing climate-resilient gardening!"

Self-regulate your garden! Monitor & adjust to solve problems. Spot aphids? Introduce ladybirds/bugs instead of harsh chemicals! Like life, gardening thrives on feedback & adjustments. #selfregulation #organic #gyo #backyardgarden #vegetablegarden #gardening #gardenlife #nature #gardendesign

Good Morning.

Want to boost your fruit yield? 🍋🍅 Try hand-pollination!
Use a small artist's brush to gently transfer pollen between flowers. The best time is the middle of the day when the pollen is ripe and easily movable. This can lead to a much bigger harvest!
