Wandering Adventure Party

Planted blueberries today! The dragon will guard them. Yes, I need to clean up some pots. Whatever. When I was a teen, my parents had blueberry bushes in the back yard. I have fond memories of throwing the bird netting over my head and having blueberries straight off the bush for breakfast!Now I need a shower. Peat moss is itchy.#gardening

@deirdrebeth @JimmyB It does seem that way. At least I was gifted a new tool that may help make that easier. Huzzah.

The daffodils are starting to come up. #Gardening

@Zodypop Welcome! if you like #roses check #WinterGarden also #Flowers etc. And some many others # to discover related to garden (and other). This is one of the things I like on here, being surprised by # and discovering so many subjects thanks to them.

Question for the hive mind. Anyone have actual experience with growing giant pumpkins? A farmer I know wants to win a competition a couple towns over, and it would mean a whole lot more gardening space for me, and I would enjoy the challenge too. #Gardening @gardening

One of the most satisfying real-world UX experiences I’ve had: the Fiskars Claw WeederGot it today and it feels like playing a claw machine (except you win much more)I am become Destroyer of Dandelions#garden #gardening

14-11-2025. Harvest. Happy.#Gardening @gardening

Happy to see the perennial brassicas / tree collards at my family's thriving so well! They're almost half as tall as I am!These are a mix of the EFN's perennial kale grex and open-pollinated seeds from the "Michigan" strain from Project Tree Collard. They should be able to survive 0-10°F (-18°C to -12°C) and will hold well into winter. Growth usually resumes in February.If you want winter greens, these are where it's at!#gardening #perennialKale #permaculture #tacoma #washington

@chgowiz As a vegan, I should consider this!

31 lbs of carrots harvested. The small ones and miss shaped ones I'll bottle, the rest I store in a cooler with a layer of sawdust then a layer of carrots until full and that it for #Gardening this year

October's end-of-month peep into the greenhouse has a very end-of-season look about it. All the crops are finished and most of the tender plants for overwintering are tucked away in the deep troughs. Spring bulbs have been re-potted and put in the cold frame.There are piles of dirty pots for cleaning (eventually) and tools to be stowed away. The inside of the glass needs washing down; how do you do that without some drips going down your neck?#greenhouse #gardening #garden #vegetables #plants

Once upon a time teenage me drooled over glass corn in a science magazine. Someone was growing it, but it wouldn't be available commercially for a few years. I put it on my wishlist for when I eventually did the grow food thing. I'm now pushing 50 and finally did the thing.#gardening

Today's produce from the garden.Also, thanks for the rain everyone.#gardening

If you can afford it fellow US Americans, now is a good time to support your Mastodon instance!I dropped a subscription & put some of my savings towards @stux 's patreon. Mastodon is my only social media now. I can't safely trust my information to the good will of a billionaire data miner. Mostly I post about #gardening #permaculture #foodforest & #growyourown but irl my circle contains most of the targeted groups. The diversity of voices here & the information you share keeps me sane! ️

In the spirit of a nice saturday morning, thinking about a few things #permaculture (thx, @dch for setting this day on tracks )Did you all know how amazing broad beans and field beans are??? Srsly, check them out!You can get frost-hardy varieties and still pot them in october/november. Plant them out when they are ~10-15cm tall, if you harden them properly before they'll just be fine during the winter and you can get an early harvest in next years season.Beans(as all legumes) are nitrogen-fixers so whatever you plant in succession does not need much fertilizer! Also beans are one of the very few foods that are high on protein (dried ~20%) and can be stored dry and cold up to several years without cooling. You can also eat the young pods, the leaves and the flowers like salad - and what you don't like to eat makes great compost!You can also plant beans as part of guilds around fruit trees to support them and bees love the flowers as well, how cool is that!?(I have not planted beans indoor yet but I'm tempted to figure it out over the winter how if they like this )#gardening #fedigardens #gardenplaning #plantifa #plantober

The native seed event I signed up for hasn't happened yet due to the government being shut down. It was supposed to be back on the 9th.I don't know if they will do it after things open back up. I guess that will depend on timing.But I'm going to do it at home. I have a bunch of native seeds and I'm going to scatter them in a largely unused flower bed at my home. I may even scatter some on the grass strip between the sidewalk and the street. We'll see if any of them take. #NativePlants #Gardening

It feels like the greenhouse fills up faster every fall. I try to keep the citrus branches from touching each other due to ants/scale, so they take up a lot of room just on their own#gardening #pnw
