#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."

#AnasaziBean planting & care

"Looking to grow beautiful, healthy Anasazi beans in your garden? This guide covers planting, support, watering, and harvesting so you can enjoy them as fresh #SnapBeans or fully dried #StorageBeans.

QUICK FACTS

Sun: Full sun
Soil: Well-drained soil
Planting: After all danger of frost has passed
Spacing: Sow about 2 in. apart; thin to 4 in. apart
Support: Trellis or fence recommended (vigorous climber)
Harvest (dry beans): When pods are brown and fully dry

ANASAZI BEANS PLANTING & CARE

Anasazi beans are a striking maroon-and-white variety with a sweet, nutty flavour and a hearty texture. They’re excellent in baked beans, Tex-Mex dishes, and alongside rice. They’re also drought-tolerant once established and often cook faster than pinto beans (many cooks find they require less soaking).

With successive plantings, Anasazi beans can be enjoyed as green beans or left to mature for dried beans.

PLANTING

- Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil.
- Plant after the risk of frost has passed and soil has warmed.
- Sow seeds 1–1.5 in. deep, spacing about 2 in. apart.
- Water after planting to settle soil; keep soil lightly moist (not soaked) until germination.
- Thin seedlings to about 4 in. apart once they are established.
- Provide a trellis, fence, or stakes—Anasazi beans are vigorous climbers.
- As vines grow, gently guide them onto the support to encourage upward growth.

CARE TIPS

Watering: Water deeply 1–2 times per week depending on heat and rainfall. Keep soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging.

Support: A trellis improves airflow, keeps pods cleaner, and makes harvesting easier.

Fertilizing: Beans fix their own nitrogen. If your soil is poor, add compost before planting or use a light, balanced fertilizer early in growth—avoid heavy nitrogen, which can reduce pod production.

HARVESTING

- For fresh eating (green beans): Harvest pods young and tender.
- For dried beans: Leave pods on the plant until they turn brown and dry.
- Harvest plants or pick pods before prolonged wet weather to reduce mould risk.
- Shell beans and allow them to dry completely before storage.
- Store fully dried beans in a cool, dry place in an airtight container."

#InternationalCompostAwarenessWeek #Australia

#BetterSoil, #BetterLife, #BetterFuture

Sunday 3 May – Saturday 9 May 2026

"International Compost Awareness Week Australia (#ICAW), is a week of activities, events and publicity to improve awareness of the importance of #compost, a valuable #organic resource and to promote compost use, knowledge and products. We can compost to help scrap carbon pollution by avoiding landfilling organic materials and helping to build healthier soils.

ICAW Australia is an initiative of the Centre for Organic Research & Education (#CORE), a not-for-profit organisation conducting year round organic research, education and awareness activities.

CORE also organises #NationalOrganicWeek Australia (NOW).

Within these two programs CORE promotes and manages the key aspects that lead to community change towards organic products and practices."

Healing the ground we broke

By Celia Llopis-Jepsen, David Condos, Mackenzie Martin
Published July 1, 2024

"After Europeans colonized America, their descendants plowed their way across the continent, seeking prosperity through farming. But breaking up the soil – that had built up over many thousands of years – made it wash away. So some farmers are retiring their tilling equipment. Amble through #Kansas prairies and cornfields as we learn how treasuring the ground beneath our feet can lead to farms that better withstand #ClimateChange, use less #fertilizer and suck carbon out of the atmosphere."

I'm currently experiencing the privilege of seeing words I wrote make it into bills and potentially state statute. Is this where I become an SME after getting a 'rookie of the year' award four years ago?
