UK - How to Garden Through #ClimateChange
If you’re struggling with your garden in these times of uncertain and extreme weather, who better to talk to than botanist and long-time organic gardener #SallyMorgan, the British-based author of The Healthy Vegetable Garden and #TheClimateChangeGarden?
By Naomi Starkman, September 1, 2022
Excerpt: "You’ve been known as somebody who doesn’t actively weed. Are attitudes changing towards weeds?
I hope so. And there are lots of weeds that have benefits. I quite like #dandelions. Everybody hates them. But actually, if you keep it under control, and you don’t allow it to seed, then you’ve got the benefit of the deep roots. And it will then act as a companion plant. I think to the young gardener who’s looking for a more #biodiverse garden that attracts more insects, and for that, improves the food chain, then weeds are important.
"I’ve got quite excited about weeds this year; I’ve been doing a diversity count in my own plot. Every month, I go out and I count the different number of flowers that I can see in my garden because I need natural predators in my garden. And I’ve noticed that out of season, up to 50 percent of the flowers on offer in my garden are weeds. And they all have a #pollinator or more. So, I’ve got to live with those. Because if I want #bumblebees, small #SolitaryBees, and #ParasiticWasps to be in my garden in March, say, I need a few #weeds, because that’s what they love. Our #StingingNettles are so important for early green fly. And that brings in the ladybugs. So, you’ve got to live with a few weeds to have #biodiversity in the garden. I hope people will see them for the benefit that they are.
"Let’s talk a little bit about #ExtremeWeather gardening. One of our team members lives on the East Coast, and says that she’s been having more trouble than usual growing things this year, particularly because there’s been so much rain and constant moisture. What advice do you have about combating extra moisture?
"For that type of thing, it’s actually #humus, and getting #OrganicMatter in the soil, so that the soil is more #resilient against extra water. #Drainage is quite tricky. I think in the past, I would have suggested adding grit to soil. But now the evidence seems to suggest that grit actually doesn’t do any good unless you put lots of it in. So, I think we’re down to the #mulching and making the soil more #loam-like so it’ll be able to lose that extra moisture. And maybe use more #RaisedBeds, so you can lift that soil off the ground, or give it a bit more drainage. But, it’s really difficult. The other thing that one can do is to look at the variety of crops that you are growing, and see whether there are varieties within that crop type that might be a little bit more resilient against getting wet."

If the fate of the world depended on my convincing neighbors to quell creeping bellflower I guess I'd have to say, "So long, World!"
Thank Dog it's not giant hogweed.

The City of Minneapolis in its weekly newsletter is pleading with homeowners to quell creeping bellflower.
'If you see the “pretty” purple flowers, remove them from the plant before they go to seed. Please also tell your neighbors. If they have it and let it go to seed, it's likely you'll have it next year.
'If you have City garbage pickup, it is safe to put bellflower plants out with yard waste for pickup. The compost piles at the facility that composts the City's yard waste get hot enough for long enough to neutralize the plant parts and seeds.'

Wonder-Weed
It’s been a cooler than normal summer thus far in the Last Frontier. Today we awoke to a fresh dusting of snowflakes on mountains peaks, and ‘seed-flakes’ on the ground. A single dandelion plant can bloom multiple times each season with multiple flower heads producing over 15,000 seeds. Every puffy whitedandelion blowball seed head contains 150-200 seeds, each equipped with its own parachute to disperse it on the wind. The leaves of Taraxacum officinale are rich in vitamins A, C and […] -
City people think Honeysuckle makes pretty red berries you see in the margin; Good 'ole Boys know it takes over when you quit mowing; people who know their plants know it is a European invader!

With a second (and spectacular) fire in a few months, the Ottawa fire service says that removing weeds with a propane torch is a bad idea. Even a short time after getting 10 cm of rain.

Ox-eye daisies are invasive here and I generally mow them- I let one patch reach full flower just for fun, and many pollinators do love them (I'll chop/pull before they seed). Here it is visited by a Leafcutter Bee- always fun to see these little folk.

So, hubby wants to build a small outdoor patio for the grill/smoker. I managed to convince him NOT to use polymeric sand, but instead use good ol' paving sand with the pavers. And yeah, he did look into polymeric alternatives, but they weren't all they were cracked up to be. The alleged advantage of polymeric sand? Weed control (though as the plastic polymer breaks down, weeds will come through). Solution to that? Kill the weeds with boiling water and vinegar! Paving sand has been used successfully for thousands of years, without plastic!

In the midst of a Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Mariesii Lilacina’ grows a self-sown Achillea, maybe Yarrow, hard to know and very difficult to spot. Their flowers are absolutely identical in colour. Even their flower heads are similar in shape. Is this a case of perfect colour harmony or plant intelligence using colour as camouflage?

I planted this border in the garden predominantly with ornamental grasses, interplanted with tall perennials - and, of course, wildflowers, a.k.a. weeds. Couldn’t begin to list all the individuals, who live in there.

I began to notice evening primrose a year or two ago even though it had been there all along, growing as a weed throughout the neighborhood. I'd also just begun experiencing perimenopause.
Now, I've learned it's an herb used to support health and maintain balance throughout every phase of menopause.
