I really think #ecology needs to somehow meld with #gardening.
Rebecca McMackin is one of my gardening heroes, she uses the term #EcologicalHorticulture https://www.rebeccamcmackin.com/
John Little, another gardening hero, has bessie friends who are ecologists https://www.tiktok.com/@grassroofco
Maybe if ecology was taught *with* horticulture, that would be a good start? Start *with* #NativePlants? I dunno, just thinking #wildlife could do with a helping hand here.

I sold a #CAD for Gardeners class! 🙏
A friendly reminder, these are *artisan crafted classes*. I write all the slides, make all the graphics, record all the video, edit absolutely everything, add captions, upload it all. Takes about 3 days & 9 years hands-on #gardening experience to make each class.
Support your #indie #artisans!
Free CAD software, start from scratch, loads of advice. 50% off with link only £9.99

For an insight into the English folkore and culture. Hookland County is a strange place indeed, it doesn't exist any more except as some sort of collective memory

nostr:npub1fy86j60w9ucrwdt2xc6v3nu4xhj6s5h23ts3tash9yhphqcf75squvjkq8 absolutely. Anything that can be commodified & industrialised has been and will be, including gardens.
I believe there's a place for experts & nurseries, but how do you reconcile with that mass production & consumption, where the industrial juggernaut weighs against change, with #PeatFree compost for example?
I have this week's blog post ready.
As promised, I answered questions about the indictment, including "Does the DOJ have to prove that Trump knew he lost the election?"
Put on your nerd glasses and get ready for Criminal Law 101.
You'll be ready to respond to much of the nonsense out there.

If you are into #GardenDesign and would like to learn #CAD, I made an introductory online class. I recommend people use 5mm square paper if they're just doing one or two designs, but CAD is _great_ for sharing information for larger projects.
Plus, I use Free Software (QCAD & LibreCAD) which won't break the bank.

nostr:npub1yln87qx55guavwduy58m6mj5ueasdfq7djgxaq7c4epawdkde5eseze2vv Jake, this is your sedum?
By the way, my sister, who lives at the other end of our house, thinks I'm weird with this whole conversation of 'Is your sedum blooming?' that has now enveloped two continents! For me, it is one of my favorite things about the internet: community from afar!

Oh yes, inspired by your post! Practically all my photos are my own, I'll give credit otherwise.
Had a conversation about communities, and how they don't have to be bound geographically. Hylotelephiumophiles United!

nostr:npub1enax4z53pedtnqw2lffelkfecpnl5q4h82yhwrekd7c3cljk4eysvxyyv4 agreed. Healthcare and education should never be for profit.

nostr:npub1yln87qx55guavwduy58m6mj5ueasdfq7djgxaq7c4epawdkde5eseze2vv I will also take this moment to once again state that every corrupt governments biggest fears are:
- a highly educated public who will question them & their policies
- a healthy public able to be strong enough to fight back against government corruption
I strongly believe that is exactly why corrupt politicians try to strip away both public healthcare & public education. When they can't - they destroy resources to both so they can't function effectively.
nostr:npub1enax4z53pedtnqw2lffelkfecpnl5q4h82yhwrekd7c3cljk4eysvxyyv4 and it happens *every single time*. The Conservative Party in the UK *hate* the National Health Service. Socialised medicine for the public good is against everything they believe in (and profess to be believe in)
nostr:npub1k3vnskzdd6v0amnrd3jumttqshulwtx0lfktnsxz9xjec8n8j06qahghf5 I did actually make up the name but it sounds more proper if you use the term “colloquially”. Or Latin, you could use Latin, “Asinum fungusii”?
