We would agree, but money is needed by people. Instead of demonising monetising things we should be asking where our money goes, what is it encouraging when we spend on some 'x' or 'y' thing?

We can democratise our world by choosing #SOLE (sustainable, #organic, local, ethical).

The #ShopEthical website is a good one. Putting aside the fact they give (Sc)Amazon an 'F'-rating and yet use (Sc)Amazon to host the site.

Btw our instance is going down, no funds for a year.

Doing some maintenance in my #forestgarden over the weekend and was so pleased about the progress in the #herbaceous and #shrub layer that I decided to take this wide angled shot. Really benefited from two months' of cooler wetter conditions. Only two years with anything of significance growing ...

These layers (and others not in shot) work together to protect & fertilise the soil, attract beneficial insects, and resist extreme weather.

Bunnytrix Hopper posing prettily in front of my wall of Melothria pendula (native cucumber).

Also caught her munching on milkweed. Has anyone ever heard of a bunny eating milkweed? I thought it was poisonous.

#permaculture #gardening #plants #plantas #vegetablegardening #NativePlants #organic #rabbit #nature #wildlife

Bunnytrix is almost full grown now. She is standing on the ground in front of a double-layered green fence plus chicken wire. She is sitting on her bum facing right. She has a white chin and white belly and is tawny and light brown. 

Climbing up the fence is small light green ivy looking leaves. There are tiny yellow flowers but you canโ€™t see them bc they are very small. Even smaller are the baby cucumbers.
Another pic of the rabbit is her stuffing her face in front of the milkweed. You can see most of her body but her most of her head is obscured, just her ears stick out. 

The pic was taken from a different angle in front of the native cucumber fence. There is also maypop seedlings coming out of the ground in front of the fence.

This is my larger baobab growing in a larger pot. Baobabs will adapt to the size of the growing space. I harvest leaves mostly from this plant. It is also growing with stones at the bottom and 50% sand. It is a struggle to lift up stairs into the sunroom for its seasonal migration. At these times, I regret all my life decisions.

See AltText for more growing details.

#gardening #plants #GrowYourOwn #organic #cooking

Pic shows a larger baobab tree sitting in front of a brick wall. It is nearly 5 foot not including the pot. It has two large branches coming out of the lower right and middle left and a bunch of new branches growing from the top where there was a hard cut. 

Baobabs cannot sit in water and need to be kept lifted off dampness. They can get root rot. I live in a place that gets nearly 50 inches of rainfall so I regularly have to tip the saucer filled with stones you see below. There are rocks at the bottom of the pot besides the potting soil being 50% sand. It is so intensely heavy, I have to tip the pot and saucer on heavy duty shoes or concrete slabs to drain the water. Being a bigger pot and so holding more water than the smaller pot, I do not water this baobab nearly as often in the summer. 

If you want to grow a baobab, put seeds in a cup of water over a seedling warming mat for a couple days. In two days, the seeds will crack open. Plant germinated seeds in seedling potting mix (not sand yet) in a seedling pot and let grow until true leaves appear. Then plant the seedling in 50% sand and potting mix with perlite.

2/ As a young plant, it doesnโ€™t produce many leaves. You can see the proportion I use for my everyday salads below. The baobab leaves are on the bottom left.

Baobab leaves are high in protein and vitamins and minerals. In Africa, a porridge of dried ground leaves is used for weaning babies besides it being a culinary staple. The fruit and seeds (shell is very hard!) are also edible and tasty.

Baobab is known as the Tree of Life.

My pretty pony,โ€ฆ sorry, baobab.

Adansonia digitata, baobab

Easy to grow tree, but will get aphids when brought indoors in winter. See AltText for further growing details.

Leaves taste slightly peppery, and are very nice in salads. Can be juiced, cooked and stewed. Also dried, it tastes mildly herbal, tea-like. Can be ground easily into powder for soups and baking.

#gardening #jardin #GrowYourOwn #organic #plants #plantas #cooking #food

A beautiful two year old baobab seedling growing in a clay pot. It is sitting on a clay saucer with stones lifting the plant. The plant is sitting on top of green grass. The leaves are a darker and shinier green than the grass. The seedling has been cut at about ten inches from the ground and has four tall branches emerging from this cut. The cut isnโ€™t visible and will look natural over time. The leaves are large and teardrop shaped. Each leaf stem produces three leaves but a stem will emerge out of this so on the branch, 2 leaves appear opposite each other. 

The plant is easy to grow, but has a few growing requirements. It cannot sit in water and it needs very well-draining soil. The soil I have for this plant is around 50% sand and potting soil with perlite.๏ฟผ๏ฟผ It is growing in a clay pot and there are rocks at the bottom of the pot to keep the roots from sitting in damp. The plant is sitting on rocks on top of the tray filled with rocks so any roots that emerge out of the pot will also not sit in water. 

I water this plant everyday in warm/hot temperatures. 

When temperatures start going below 50F/10C at night, bring indoors in a well-lit space. Do not water or water only once a month while it is in cooler temperatures. My baobabs do not defoliate in the sunroom but they donโ€™t grow very much. I unleash hordes of ladybugs in the sunroom to control the aphid population. Occasionally, I will go on a squishing campaign.

"When you go to your farmers' market or your local retailer and purchase what you think is organic, it may not necessarily be organic.โ€

"Organic products intended for the Australian market don't need to meet a particular standard or be certified to be labelled organic. However, businesses that make an organic claim, such as through a claim of certification, must be able to prove the claim." (The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission)

A vibrant explosion of vegetables and leafy greens and purples on a wooden cutting board on a wooden tabletop. 

From left to right: 
Top row: bok choy and radish flowers and seed pods, radish leaves, sweet peas, curly kale, longevity spinach, Okinawa spinach (dark purple colored), Boehmeria cylindrica 

Middle row: moringa, bloody dock sorrel, katuk, sissoo, mitsuba, chopped green madhatter peppers, 

Bottom row: baobab leaf, cucumber, purple shiso, more chopped peppers and chopped watermelon radish (green on the outside pink on the inside. 

Later this month, native cucumbers will replace the garden variety and there will be loads of native physalis.

Fun facts: I first posted on Twitter in 2008. I had 3000 follows max last year. My most popular/viral tweet was last year during the trucker #convoy in Ottawa. 226 RTs. Since joining Mastodon in November I have 1700 followers and Iโ€™ve already managed to produce posts with more than 500 Boosts. I am #selfhosted with 3 people on my server. But tell me again how engagement on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse is not good enough for the โ€˜important peopleโ€™.

I almost cried after I've discovered that a little bit of my camomile grow and didn't die.

That was the very first time I grow camomile and I used #organic seeds.

A study in Switzerland focusing on two species of #bumblebee commonly found throughout Europe suggests that โ€˜City Bumblebeesโ€™ are smaller but more phenotypically diverse than their โ€˜Country Bumblebeeโ€™ cousins.

Morninโ€™.

Would you look at the corbiculae on this wee red arsed #bumblebee foraging on knapweed here on The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland earlier.

Now thatโ€™s some serious pollen transportation.

Quick bee fact: A full pollen basket can contain over one million pollen grains.

@utopify_org Also into #organic #gardening, #nutrition, science based natural health, #PetRats (there's a bunch behind me right now), #Karate and a rather stupid number of side hobbies.

Tech projectwise though, I'm working towards completely migrating away from #Android to just my #PinePhonePro. Personally I don't mind the battery life stuff. It's just the missing development on the camera and lack of a #PlasmaMobile email client that's killing me! Hopeful for #RavenMail!

Two years ago, I fancied the idea of making marshmallows out of homegrown marshmallow root. Looks like I will be able to harvest some this fall. ๐Ÿ˜Š Itโ€™s in a pot with maypop to pull out easily without damaging the roots.

And with the sudden hot weather, loads of blueberries turned blue. This is todayโ€™s picking off one small bush planted 3yrs ago. ๐Ÿฅณ

Pic is of a pale pink flower with five petals. There are darker light pink veins in the flower pointing towards the center. The stamens are a light eggplant purple. The flower is attached to a sturdy stalk with green leaves and a other flower growing towards the bottom of the pic. In the background is a brick wall with maypop vines growing up on a trellis.
A silver bowl filled with dark blue-ish black blueberries. There is more than appears in the pic bc it is a deep bowl.

Got stung mowing the lawn: looks like there's a wasps nest in our yard.

What do I do? I don't want to kill the wasps, but we need to have a safe yard for our son (and us), and I don't want to poison our apple tree!

#Photos taken in my #garden earlier #today. I've selected these slightly soft focus images as they bring out the colour better at the expense of the shape or form.

All of these #roses are grown using #organic methods and never had a drop of weed or insect killer, let alone artificial fertilisers. I feed them using a nettle and comfrey mix grown in my #backyard .

Full shot of a slightly soft focus yellow rose - giving the impression of being in the presence of the archetype colour yellow
Unfolding peachy orange rose flower, slightly out of focus to accentuate the abstract nature of colour.
This is a really creamy orange feast of a many folded blossom, slightly out of focus to take attention away from the detail and on to the sheer sensory experience of the colour itself
The detail at the heart of this deceptively simple pink rose bloom fades into shades of pastel pink and darker as the eye drifts to the edge of the bloom.

Take 15 seconds with this great spotted woodpecker male tapping away on our feeder just now on The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland.
At least four different individuals visiting the feeder at the moment.
A privilege to observe.

Started to create my own #sustainable #zerowaste #garden and it's even #vegan because I do not use it as a toilet for the crap of animals from factory farming.

Currently working on the fourth bed, which is around 12m (~40ft) long and I am trying to put in stuff, which likes each other (#symbiosis) and all of it is #organic of course!

To live amongst trees is a privilegeโ€ฆ
But shouldnโ€™t be a rarity.

Stop cutting them down.
