So, a couple of plants in my own "sensory garden" are the catnip, oregano, mint and lemon balm [shown in the photo]. I love brushing my hands against the fragrant leaves, then taking in the scent. The bees love them too!

One of the corn stalks has tassels, and another one is just about to tassel out, so I'm hoping there's some pollination happening between the #HopiBlueCorn plants, some of which have #CaveBeans climbing them. One of the BlackDyeSunflowers is also about to bloom, and hopefully their neighbors will as well. And, there's an itty bitty summer squash that's forming! Yay!

I spent some quiet time in the backyard with my camera. I love finding the discipline to minimize my movements so I don't startle the bees. It paid off today as I captured them sampling the catnip flowers (a local favorite)!

#Bumblebees are struggling in #UKHeatwaves - but you can help them

Justin Rowlatt, July 21, 2026

Excerpt: "Conservationists say the best way to help is by creating more flower-rich habitats, so bumblebees can find food even as the climate becomes more extreme.

"Dr Sarah Beynon is an insect expert whose west Wales farm is managed for wildlife as well as food. She has planted #meadows, #willows, #hedgerows, #TussockyGrasses and late-flowering crops to give insects food through the summer.

" 'When we came, this farm was a wildlife desert,' she says. 'In 10 years, it's become a nature reserve.'

"Her message is that people do not need acres of land to help. A pot of native wildflowers on a doorstep or windowsill can act as a small refuelling stop for insects moving through a human-dominated landscape.

" 'Your flowerpot is a service station,' she says. 'It's somewhere to rest, refuel and carry on.'

"Dr Richard Comont adds that putting in a pond [#BeeWateringStation] - however small - and shade can also help.

"#Flowers growing near water tend to produce nectar with more moisture in it, he says. Bumblebees cannot collect water in the way honeybees do, they get most of the liquid they need from nectar, so wetter nectar can help make colonies more resilient in hot weather.
Whilst planting dense #shrubs gives bumblebees places to escape the heat of the sun, and can allow them to move between flowers through cooler patches of air."

Oh, so with al the #Cyclospora stuff going around, I decided to roast the store-bought #celery just in case... And of course, I had some home-grown green onions on hand and store-bought mushrooms. Roasting veggies inactivates the parasite! We used balsamic vinegar and Italian seasoning instead of cumin and celery seed...

Jennie's Roasted Celery And Mushrooms

"You know I had sort of forgotten about the idea of roasted celery until this theme came along - but the I remembered that my stepmom LOVES it, and often makes big batches to keep on hand. It easy and delicious and healthy - what's not to love? This recipe is dedicated to Jennie!"

@carstenfranke So, here's a thought. If I kept interbreeding the sungolds, wouldn't they eventually revert to the parents? Then I could figure out who they are!

@carstenfranke So, having grown up around tomatoes, I'm thinking they are #Brandywine heirloom tomato crossed with one of the yellow-fruited heirlooms. From the article: "There are a number of other yellow-fruited heritage cherry tomato varieties to choose from – ‘Galina’, ‘Gold Nugget’ and ‘Golden Sunruse’ are a few alternatives to consider."

So, did a #SungoldTomato taste test tonight (say that ten times fast). The ones from the farmstand were bigger than ours, but not as tasty. As for ours, the ones grown in containers and in the #CommunityGarden were on the small side, but delicious. And, the ones from the garden had just a wee bit more sweetness. I still have a couple more tomato plants that could use bigger spaces, so I'll add some composted soil, then plant those in the community garden. I still have plenty of room, especially since I harvested the two potato plants recently.

I still have a couple more tomato plants that could use bigger spaces, so I'll add some composted soil, then plant those in the community garden. I still have plenty of room, especially since I harvested the two potato plants recently.

So, did a #SungoldTomato taste test tonight (say that ten times fast). The ones from the farmstand were bigger than ours, but not as tasty. As for ours, the ones grown in containers and in the #CommunityGarden were on the small side, but delicious. And, the ones from the garden had just a wee bit more sweetness.

7.6: #Abundance, #Inclusion, #Resilience: The #OneMillionNeighbours Project

by Sam Nabi
Season 7, Ep. 6
Monday, May 19, 2025

"This episode, Ariel speaks to Sam Nabi about One Million Neighbours, a project bringing together the voices of local non-profits that envisions the future of Waterloo Region once the population has reached one million. Sam discusses the impetus for the project, providing a voice for the voiceless, the issue with grant applications, funding the future, being proactive instead of reactive to harsh policies, and much more. What might an abundant, inclusive, resilient (Ariel says: solarpunk) city look like on the human level? Who lives there, what do they value, and what are their daily lives like? And what does it look like to take action now at the regional/municipal level to ensure that utopian vision?"
