Just a fantastic site for #Gardening #planting zone hardiness in US and changes from #ClimateChange

https://apps.npr.org/plant-hardiness-garden-map/

The USDA’s gardening zones shifted. This map shows you what’s changed in vivid detail

There's a good chance your zone shifted when the USDA updated its plant hardiness map in 2023. Zoom in on what that means for your garden.

From boost: "People who grow their own food consume a whopping 70% more fruit and vegetables than the average person – an impressive health outcome in a nation struggling with obesity and poor diets. They also waste 95% less food, making home growing a powerful tool for both health and sustainability.

The benefits don’t end there. Studies show that older allotment growers are fitter than their peers, while spending time in community gardens is linked to better mental health and lower stress."

Today, international cat day, I am in mourning for Jennie Marie. We had to say goodbye yesterday and it is hard to breathe. She brought us joy and taught us so much about love and being present in the moment. She fell asleep in my hand when I picked her up at the shelter as a kitten over 20 years ago. She knew she was in her safety zone.

For Peat’s Sake - Join the campaign.

Of the 70,000ha of lowland raised bog in the UK, estimates suggest that only 3,800-8,000ha remain in pristine or near-natural condition. That’s just between 5% - 10% left. And with nearly 95% degraded or gone, restored peatland won’t be seen in our generation - or our children or grandchildren, or even great-grandchildren. It takes a whole year to create just 1mm of peat. #UK #CimateAction #Environment #PeatFreeCompost #Gardening

Against all the current crazyness we need inspiring content.

For any #gardening and #nature fan, who does not know them yet, this YT channel "Happen Film" is maybe the best and interesting collection of sustainable, unusual ways of gardening, reforestation etc.
Caution: Highly addictive - but good for your mental health.
