Until I became a gardener, I didn't realise that seed companies divide the year very precisely into early, mid, and late, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. So today is the last day of late winter, and tomorrow is the first day of early spring ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒผ. A cause for celebration ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŒฑ

You likely pass all kinds of plants and herbs in your day to day. But do you know who they are? Where they come from? Maggie Herskovitz joins Joe and Elly to talk about her new book's story, cover design, and how she got into plant identification.

Stay strong my friends. Rest. Recharge. Dig deep. We need each other and the country needs us.

I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.

Do I feel that more than one day is needed? Yes. Do I also feel that one day with enough people can #disrupt? Yes.

Forever grateful for #flowercode. My #throattattoo has made me recognizable as a safe person for my fellow and lovely queers as of late ๐Ÿ–ค๐ŸŒˆ pic of after I got it done, last year I think? Perhaps the year before that. Time goes by so fast.

The ACLU is a united front in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Today's action adds to the growing list of legal actions taken since January 20 in our fight to protect the civil rights and liberties of all.

When you come for our rights, we'll see you in court.

In moving things from Meta to here~ my #garden this year was filled with #moss that I propagated and replanted. A fun but long project.

This yearโ€™s setup. More to come, but this is what I was able to do yesterday. 


*Milk jug sowing- drill drainage holes in the bottom of jugs, then cut them starting with the side of the handle. Donโ€™t cut completely around, leave a 1-2in โ€œhingeโ€ underneath handle of jug. Lay a compost/soil mix until the bottom is mostly full, then sprinkle in seeds - no spacing really necessary, native seeds donโ€™t grow the same as cultivated seeds do, and actually prefer to grow in a cluster until the fall when they can be transplanted unless they outgrow their container. Lay a fine sand mix (hardware stores usually sell this, โ€œsandbox sandโ€ or similar, just make sure it has not been salt treated for snow) over the seeds, enough to not see the seeds through the sand mix- some larger seed varieties do require more sand than others to cover. I try to cover them to the depth of the seeds themselves, if that makes sense. Water them thoroughly before wiping the sides of the jugs and duct taping around the seam that was cut. 
The seeds will germinate naturally, so patience will be necessary for growing natives. Generally if they do not germinate this season, they will germinate next season, if kept watered. I also label the inside of the jugs, as well as outside. I have a book that I keep the planting dates of each species in, or would recommend labeling on the jugs as well.

Reminder to yโ€™all who do native plants ~ donโ€™t forget to sow them outside asap! Milk jug sowing works awesome, as does raised bed planting! Make sure to check the codes/zoning for sowing; most natives need to be cold stratified, but some are okay for direct planting in the Spring/Fall.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
