pmcnallyI harvested three cukes and a good amount of raspberries last night. Roy helped with the raspberries, but none of those that he picked made it into the basket. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/dogsofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dogsofmastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gardening</a>

PippzMy yard is so confused this year. It’s frustrating, but life goes on I guess. The plants that ARE flowering, are not happy about it. I must have tried 10,000 different seeds this year, literally, with some chaos gardening in mind, but barely any have made it to flowers. But this flower right here, with its 80s neon vibes, made it all worth it. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#flowers</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/connecticut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#connecticut</a>

mk30Veggie sautee with 100% garden veggies: long beans, sweet pepper, and Okinawa spinach (which grows incredibly well in our area and is a rich source of cooked green leaf veg).This is the first time we've had my beloved long beans in years (the first year we lived here, we harvested them by the bucket and it was incredible). I'm saving the beans (and cooking the pods, which are soft and tasty) because this is exactly my favorite kind of bean and I don't want to repeat my previous mistake of letting them drop off. They are too delicious and nutritious!Now I just need a local source of cooking oil (there has to be a local coconut oil company, right? 🤔 There's local macadamia nut oil, but it's very $$$)...and an alternative to propane 😭 (I do have my solar cooker, but it doesn't fry - it steams, boils, bakes).This was part of a lunch that included a fried egg (egg from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/@saltphoenix" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@saltphoenix</a> 's birds), fresh tomato from the garden, and short grain brown rice from the store. Instead of rice, I often have kalo (taro) from my bf, but today I didn't have any.When the boats stop coming, I think there will be a lot less frying (more cooking over a fire) and when frying does happen, it'll be on butter (or tallow, for the meat eaters). It's definitely easier to get butter from cows than oil from coconuts or macadamias.And as for propane replacement, I really don't know, but probably the ideal solution would be to get beefy solar panels and batteries, and an induction cooker.I also don't have a local replacement for soy sauce, but we do have salt on the shoreline. It gathers in little low areas in shoreline rocks during dry periods. To get enough for daily supply though, you'd have to know the spots and spend a fair bit of time harvesting. The shoreline in my area really puts the "trace" in "trace minerals". I'd have to find the right spots.<a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/hawaii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hawaii</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/growyourown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#growyourown</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vegetarian</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solarpunk</a>

gclef"Long-time Nature:Briefing readers will be familiar with the work of conservation scientist Sheila Colla, who wrote compellingly alongside environmental writer Lorraine Johnson about embracing ‘messy’ gardens and with other colleagues about how butterflies offer lessons in resilience. I was very sorry today to hear that Colla has died, aged 43. “She leaves us: not in despair, but with instructions,” writes Rhett Butler, the founder of the conservation publication Mongabay. “Plant a native flower, upload a bee sighting, speak up for the quiet things, and sit, for a while, in awe.”— Flora Graham, senior editor, Nature Briefing<a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2025/07/sheila-colla-advocate-for-bees-died-on-july-6th-2025-aged-43/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.mongabay.com/2025/07/sheila-colla-advocate-for-bees-died-on-july-6th-2025-aged-43/</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nature</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bees</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pollinators</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Garden</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Flowers</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bloomscrolling</a>

Mark HWe're absolute amateurs in the garden. A lot of what we're learning is largely coming from observation. Neighbours one side have lilac and neighbours the other have lavender. Both are great bee-attractants but we have reasons for avoiding both plants. We've been happy enough that wasps have flocked to our raspberries to spread the pollinator love around but now that some canes are flowering again the wasps have disappeared and the bees are over with us too. Quite fascinating. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gardening</a>
