Sep 5-6 Waxing moon in Aquarius. Air sign Aquarius, good for collecting seeds.
September 7-8 Lunar Eclipse!!!
The eclipse is thought to disrupt the flow of lunar energy. No gardening.

Gifts from the Garden

Aug 30, 31, and Sep 1, moonsign is Sagittarius.
Sagittarius is a barren sign, good for weeding, trimming and tidying in the garden.
Onions and herbs may do well planted in Sagittarius.
I'm planting lavender.

Planting by the signs - August 25, 26, 27:
Waxing crescent and sign is Libra.

When in Hendersonville NC, this place has an irresistible selection of plants.

I am an American and I have canceled any trips out of my country for 2025, and possibly 2026, due to embarrassment and also the justified resentment that people all over the world may feel towards me as a citizen of the USA.
I simply don't have words to describe this shameful situation.

Oops I did it again. But my pollinators do need more choices in the garden. Totally justified ;-)

I sow in discarded plastic containers, making them mini greenhouses.
With direct sowing, in my garden, the tender sprouts are just food for wildlife.
Using the 'winter sowing' or mini greenhouse method I have never had a fungal problem, and germination is close to 100%.

Thanks for sharing this site.

And I cannot understand why people admit that they prefer to be asleep and unaware. I prefer to be awake and aware.

If someone says they’re against DEI, forget the acronym.

Make them use the words.

Ask why they’re against diversity.
Ask why they’re against equity.
Ask why they’re against inclusion.

Thank you for the links!. I couldn't find them just by searching.
