Oooh, the indestructible St John's Wort in the garden is budding. It's growing in the wrong place (hence I know it's indestructible) but it is very photogenic.
It's a slug party,
and I've bought them all a beer
Let's invite them to come right over,
and have a great cheer
It was the cheapest beer they sell nearby
But for a party it will fly
The question is really,
Will they just get drunk, or die?
We can give the extra plants that love to volunteer in the #gardens and exchange a few #herbs, #trees, plants, or garden tools that people want to share.
Here is the link to the FB group if you want to find some inspiration and start some for your community. It is my last reason to still use FB.
What is fantastic about composting worms is that not only they are able to process an insane amount of waste and help us limit greenhouse gasses from landfills, but we often forget that they produce one of the most powerful manure that can be made at home.
If you apply the worm castings in your garden, you will boost the biology in your soils and provide a lot of nutrients for your plants.
If you want to do something for the #climate a worm bin is a very good start.
Oh geez. Well, if you ever wanted to watch slugs getting rip roaring drunk on beer (and not actually getting trapped by said beer)... here you go. h/t @stfn#slugs#gardening#beer
Need to buy a case of cheap beer, but feels strange to plan to buy the cheapest beer you can find early in the morning, on bicycle. (it's for slugs in the garden, LOL). #beer#gardening
I never understood how it could be interesting. My mother and both her parents were avid gardeners, I couldn't have cared less.
Now I realise it has to do with having your own space in which to garden. It's a privilege. Allotments are so important to those who otherwise have no land around their homes in which to potter and plant.
It's a joy isn't it? Pruning, planting, tending and weeding. Not a chore. A slow, gentle, growing joy.
The first of my royal purple & golden sweet #SnowPeas have emerged. I grow the more commonly known green Oregon snow peas too. I love eating #peas - fresh n raw from the garden or cooked.
