Been asking the community garden for years for a giant tarp to smother an unused hillside full of weeds and eventually create a community food source/native plant garden. Wouldn’t you know I found one hidden at the bottom of the hillside under years (decades?) of debris?! The universe provides…

New music coming soon! ☘️

Butterfly(?) in the community garden 6/27/24.

Common milkweed 6/17/24. This early bloomer attracts pollinators to some earlier flowering plants like currants. Very disappointed that after 7 years of growing it and managing it, our community garden organization, Capital Roots, is not allowing us gardeners to have it in our plots anymore.

Anise hyssop, swamp milkweed, yellow giant hyssop, and a monarch from the anti lawn front garden on 8/4/24. Monarchs are endangered and giant hyssop is listed as threatened in NY. Empowering to know that we can be part of the solution. Turn that lawn into a garden!

‘You have to find your own recipe’: Dutch suburb where residents must grow food on at least half of their property In the suburb of Oosterwold, a living experiment in urban agriculture, the 5,000 inhabitants find different creative ways to fulfil the unique stipulation

Let’s be like Oosterwold!

Agreed. Appreciate constructive response!

Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum) in bloom in August. One of my favorites in our anti lawn garden because it blooms for so long and is teeming with life. Highly recommend it! Imagine if we all replaced our lawns with gardens…

One of the best things we did at our house was replace our ugly lawn with native plants. The planet is currently in the sixth great mass extinction because of habitat loss, pesticides and the climate crisis. Native plants help native creatures. No more lawns only gardens!

Farmers ‘very worried’ as US pesticide firms push to bar cancer diagnoses lawsuits Pesticide-backed proposed law that opponents call ‘Cancer Gag Act’ pits Iowa farm groups against each other

FOOD IS MEDICINE! In the future, if growing our food requires poisoning people (and creating a giant “dead zone” in the “gulf of America”) then it wont be allowed. Resist industrial ag by growing your own and supporting organic farmers.

Compost on prospective garden bed covered by cardboard then by mulch

Easy no till gardening using sheet mulching:

1. Lay compost on ground/garden bed
2. Cover with cardboard
3. Cover cardboard with mulch
4. Stab a hole and plant the plant start

Soon you will have minimal/no food or cardboard waste! Great for water retention!

Want another way to RESIST? GROW AN ORGANIC NO TILL GARDEN! When evil wants to drag us back in time we can live in the future. In the future we will live in harmony with the planet. Organic no till gardening is a direct action that benefits us and the planet. Let’s start living in the future now!
