Some great late season colours, gazinias are always such good value ❤️ the agapanthus has finally flowered too for the first time in two years ❤️ just don't water it much and go away for a fortnight ☺️

Leaving your garden to others at holiday time is a thoughtless task but at least after clearing away what is dead there's still something left 😂😊 #garden #pots #plants #naturalgardening #holidaytıme

Now the weather is slightly cooler it's time to get back out into the garden and making sure it's looking it's best 😊 #clothesfreeliving #naturist #naturism #naturalhumanbodies #naked #nude #naturalgardening #nakedgardening #nonsexualnudity #absolutelynormal

I bought some climbing hydrangeas which came on Thursday, I thought could grow up my obelisk planter. They need some tlc though but I watered them in well and added fresh compost too 😊🤞

More gardening, planting the plants we've bought in the past few weeks. I bought a couple of new pots as well as bringing some back from our naturist club 🌺🪷😊

Ok. The branch, that I specifically placed across the pond for the kingfisher, is attractive to others, too.

This is probably anathema to tidy gardeners! I often shake my head at all the hardscaping done around houses, which also inhibits drainage, shunts water into the streets, increases flooding and subsidence, etc. But who am I to say?

Inspired by Chris Peckham's and Iolo Williams' bird-off in this year's #WinterWatch, my wife and I used breakfast to count species we could see through the lounge window:
blackbird
bluetit
carrion crow
goldcrest
great tit
greenfinch
grey heron
hawfinch
sparrow hawk
(+ beak of a starling 🙄 )
woodpigeon
wren

Yesterday also:
bullfinch
chaffinch
cormorant
great spotted woodpecker
? gull
magpie
sparrow (tree/house)
starling (January!)

Planting day, and we were blessed with more rain. If even 5% of the seeds we planted germinate and produce something, it will be a banner year.

We take a different approach to growing things. I recently went to a class on planning Fall/Winter gardens in our climate, and so much of the advice revolved around starting in trays, purchasing inputs (albeit organic ones) and growing in raised beds.

"Gardening is expensive" one attendee lamented.

No! No! We reject this -- all of it!

I'll be releasing a comprehensive discussion of how to garden without inputs later - even if you can't have a perfect closed cycle system because you live in an apartment or are otherwise restricted, I'll be discussing how to minimize inputs and rethink the way you garden.

We'll touch on building soil and soil fertility, common pitfalls even organic growers fall into, natural "pest" management, maximizing water utilization, seed saving, and improving your land's yield year after year instead of creating resource debt.

This will be a post for paid subscribers only, so if you can spare the cost of a cup of coffee a month (is a coffee actually $5 anywhere anymore?) and you feel like this information could benefit you and your community, consider subscribing at the paid tier. Your subscription funds trees! And us feeding our family! So that's fun.

Looking forward to sharing more later 🌿

Jos jätät mökkirannan parturoimatta, sinne voi syntyä tällainen luontoparatiisi: pohjanrantakukka, ranta-alpi, mesiangervo, keltakurjenmiekka, hiirenvirna, kaislat ja rannan paju ovat osa luonnon ravintoverkkoa ja ilo silmälle.

"Stop trying to get on top of the weeds, the mess and the endless tasks. Just sit down amid the chaos of your garden at the height of summer and see it for the beauty it holds, not the things it has failed to be. A kind friend said to me recently that “a messy garden is better than an empty one”.

@Pollinators @Broadfork here's another view- from the left side compared to the first photo- from a week ago when the Drabas were still at peak..

It seems like the #TimeOfFlowers #season has barely begun and I'm already hopelessly behind on sharing photos! Things move fast at this time of year, new things opening every day or so, previous waves of flowering wrapping up.. These are from 10 days ago, some finished or on the way out.. White Draba dedeana Yellow Draba aizoides and D. bruniifolia ssp olympica. Tulipa urumiensis (or something..) #garden #RockGarden #spring #NaturalGardening #Alberta #Canada #z3

#InsectFriday Police Car Moth (named for a time and place when police cars were black and white!) Gnophaela vermiculata. Not super abundant, but not uncommon here and sometimes a number seen at once.

🦌⛔🌿 Deer Resistant Herbs for Resilient Gardens

Do you garden in the presence of deer? We do! While many of our choice veggies and flowers are protected, we also grow many herbs unprotected. 🫨

I’m excited to share some of our fav deer resistant herbs:

Die ersten Aussaaten, dieses Jahr Artischocken, Chili und Auberginen. Nachdem letzte Saison fast alle Pflanzen von Mehltau befallen wurden, weiche ich die Samen in Kamillentee ein. Ich finde es tröstlich, zu säen, wenn draußen noch der Winter tobt.

Wintergemüse

Letzten Winter schmeckte der Wirsing ein bisschen bitter, diesen Winter fast süß. Vielleicht liegt es am Frost?

#naturgarten #gardening #NaturalGardening #gemüse #garten #gartenliebe

Auch diesen Winter sind viele Vögel im Garten. Aber von allen Arten weniger als letzten Winter. Special Guest sind auch dieses Jahr die Bergfinken.

#FlowersOnFriday still finding stuff in the folder from #July 01..lol This time a view of a rather overgrown and selfsown bit of #garden + a mutant flower on Geum Beech House Apricot with a backdrop of Geranium sanguineum *not* Elke

Some #insects seem to notice as soon as there is a wet place-- these little Crescents- maybe Northern Crescent / Phyciodes cocyta found the wet mulch on a potato bed as soon as I watered it-sometimes, they've already been at the edge of a bed while I'm still watering.
Short video shows 3-4 of these small #butterflies orangey-brown with dark markings on the dried grass mulch on a potato bed #gardening #pollinators #NaturalGardening #Alberta #July

@plants A short video of me potting up an oversprouted potato left from last year's harvest.. in my usual rather casual #gardening style...lol no views of me in this one, just the soil etc and me jabbering.
