Time to dust off my bike and start riding again. (Well, not just dust off, but make sure things are clean, tires are up, etc.). Once the water tank at the #CommunityGarden gets filled up (they really should get a #rainbarrel, which I had suggested), I can just ride my bike over and water and weed! With plush pal Phil the Baphomet in tow.

Well, it looks like I don't have to water my plot at the #CommunityGarden for a few days. Luckily, I only planted black beans, yellow onions and some flowers (Indian Paintbrush and Blue Cornflower), but not the sunflowers. The sunflowers I planted in the #HomeGarden (and were staked up before the storm) survived, but I might have to plant more squash (mildew). The beans and corn are doing okay (the corn likes some moisture early on). We'll see what survives. Wildflower patch is doing well, and there's some Hen of the Woods action going on at one of our tree stumps (one good thing about rainy weather).

@julescelt01 Oh, same here. When I worked for libraries, I was always encouraging kids to learn about nature and spend time outdoors. I'm glad to see kids spending time in the local #CommunityGarden or identifying bird song (and that's a good use for those darn smartphones).
Food production, security ambitions growing in Fort Smith, N.W.T.
Between ambitious goals for the community garden and plans to develop an apple orchard in town, the community is taking steps to improve its own food sovereignty after wildfires in 2023 cut the town off from many of its usual food supply routes.

Spent some time at the #CommunityGarden today. Planted some #BlackBeans and #Potatoes, and pulled up some weeds (the flowers should be popping up after all that rain). Had a cool conversation with my neighbor who is a selectboard member and who helped get the garden going again, and told him what a great job he is doing. I mean, #composters, #rainbarrels, making the #CommunityCenter an #EmergencyShelter, supporting #DatacenterMoratoriums and #SmartGrowth. What more could one ask for in a town rep!

So, two of the candidates running for our town's selectboard have teamed up. They emphasize #CriticalThinkingSkills , #OpenSpaces , #CommunityGardens , and #ResponsibleGrowth . Guess who is getting my vote! (And one is the selectboard member neighbor who helped start up the #CommunityGarden and getting #Composters and #Rainbarrels for our town).

Tuned into the town selectboard meeting from earlier this week. Our town is looking to impose a #DataCenterMoratorium and start up a local #FarmersMarket! Also, more interest in the #CommunityGarden! Yes, please!

#SolarPunkSunday

Well darn! I don't have any specific themes planned for this week's #SolarPunkSunday. And, well, I've been busy #Solarpunking! However, I'll make an effort to post some stuff. But I want to know what you all are doing that's #SolarPunk! Are you #composting? #GardeningForPollinators? Participating in a #CommunityGarden? #SharingResources? Know of a #ToolLibrary? #RepairCafes? What about #NewTechnology or #TraditionalTechnology that's relevant to #ClimateAdaptation? To me #SolarPunk is about sharing ideas, knowledge and #BuildingCommunity . Share away!
