Permaculture podcasts?
Looking for podcast recommendations that discuss permaculture principles, sustainable garden design, native plant gardening, etc. Any suggestions?
Jerusalem cherry? (lemmy.world)
Can anyone ID this plant? My plant identifier is insisting that it’s a Jerusalem Cherry, but the next most likely thing is Silverleaf Nightshade. I’ve searched on both and it definitely looks like a Jerusalem Cherry, but I have absolutely no clue how it ended up in my yard if that’s the case.
How Much Garden You Would Need to 100% Survive On (lifehacker.com)
Gupta et al. 1973 - Influence of various rates of compost and nitrogen on boron toxicity symptoms in barley and wheat (drive.google.com)

Field pea flowers! (i.imgur.com)

I was removing weeds from between the tiles in my garden and found what looks like basil. In autumn I usually let by basil flower before the first frost kills it. I think one of the seeds survived the winter. I didn't know basil seeds were so resilient. I let this one live (until I turn it into pesto).
Kentucky Wonder (mander.xyz)
First real harvest off a hoop trellis. These are tasty green beans that tolerate heat well. Grown on a welded wire 6" x 6" cattle panel bent into a hoop between two beds of our vegetable patch. These sell very fast at the local farmers market.
Anyone else really bad at thinning plants?
I have learned a lot about how it's needed, in particular for short growing seasons and to prevent some pests. Still, you would think I'm killing puppies or separating twins.

Planted these in Winter 2020, finally seeing some buds.
