Hey, are you one of my friends who has heard me talk about growing a fairy castle and have you been waiting on me to finally get around to showing what I'm talking about? Wait no longer!

Walkaround of yesterday's project. I helped the gardener here for an hour with some heavy lifting and I can't think of a better job to do tbh. It's hard to express how much joy can be produced with so little effort.

I've been thinking about #permaculture for a long time now. Not doing anything about it, just thinking.

Well, for once it came to my brain at what seems like an appropriate time in the early spring. I'd like to take steps to get rid of the last remnants of my manicured front and back yard and grow some stuff that is more native to Ottawa. Maybe even grow stuff that would produce food as well and help pollinators.

Since this is an Ottawa-specific server, I'm wondering if the locals have any suggestions on monographs, websites, or other information on finding stuff that would grow especially well in our local environment?

Alors jeune pousse, pas encore enrôlée dans la glorieuse armée de l'Empire romarin ? L'Imperator Caesar Saladus n'attend pourtant que toi ! 🌿

Suite à désistements, il reste 5 places pour devenir légionnaires romarins et combattre à la gloire du Planthéon ! 🌱

Living mulch for asparagus? Will it work or just overrun the plants?

I've just spent 3 hours weeding the asparagus, and while it was good to think about that instead of the clown show in DC for a while, it's not therapy I want to repeat too often.

I'm wondering about using white Dutch clover to fix nitrogen as well as keep down weeds. ??

Anyone tried any of these, or another that you like? Thinking of upgrading my hand wash in a basin or pot.

Hace cuatro años hicimos la loma de un swale(acequia de careo en linea linea de nivel de la pendiente o linea clave) con balas de paja, hoy estamos plantando una higuera justo en esa loma, y sale parte del pasto aplastado por arcilla, el suelo debajo aunque arcilloso tiene una pinta muy buena. Mezclamos la paja enterrada con la arcilla y añadimos nuestro sustrato de alto contenido de materia orgánica para confiar en que tenga la mayor de las suertes, a su derecha tiene una parra con buena pinta y esquejes de zarzamoras con mala pinta.

Went to some friends garden and they gave us a number of great plants for the garden: Strawberry, new zealand spinach, rocket, turkish rocket, herb patience, mint - how wonderful!
