GhislaineSince I am done with seed starting for the moment, I decided to use up the leftover prepared soil to repot some houseplants. The Jade plant lost a few leaves in the process, so we'll see if I can start new ones!

#StartingSeeds at Home with #UMaineExtension
Mar 3, 2021
"You can get a big jump on #Maine’s short #gardening season when you grow your own #seedlings. Instead of waiting for the ground to warm up enough to sow seeds outside, start enjoying flowers and harvesting vegetables four to six weeks earlier by starting seeds at home.
Starting your own plants from seed also allows you to choose from the much broader array of varieties offered in seed catalogs.
Using transplants instead of direct-seeding is especially important for plants that take a longer time to mature or are sensitive to frost."

Starting Seeds at Home with UMaine Extension
Alrighty then... We know there's shit going down. But for the next 24 hours, I'll be focused on #SolarPunkSunday (unless there is breaking news that can't wait).
Let's get SPS started!!!
#SolarPunk #RightToRepair #RepairCafes #SeedStarting #Agroecology #BuildingCommunity #Rewilding #VisibleMending #FiberArts #FoodWaste #Earth4All #ABetterWorld #ResistanceIsFertile
Despite all the bad news, I have been gathering posts and articles for #SolarPunkSunday. Topics will include #SeedStarting, #ContainerGardening, #Agroecology, #RepairCafes, #Rewilding, #VisibleMending, #FiberArts, and utilizing #FoodWaste in recipes (which could come in handy if times are tough). We need to #BuildCommunity and come together to #Fight4OurExistence and #MotherEarth and #TheFutureWeWant!
#Earth4All #ABetterWorld #SolarPunk #CommunityGardens #BuildingCommunity #ResistanceIsFertile
Alrighty then. Thanks to everyone who participated in this week's #SolarPunkSunday, especially, @BrambleBearWhuffling and @MaQuest ! We'll be talking about #SeedStarting and #GardenPlanning soon, and for those in the #SouthernHemisphere, late summer gardening! And, of course, #RepairCafes, #VisibleMending, #DIY, and other related topics!
An inspirational post, @BrambleBearGrrrauwling ! I've been thinking the same thing (as some of my little potatoes have started sprouting). It's almost Imbolc -- which means, #SeedStarting!
An early #SolarPunkSunday post, since this event is Saturday!
