The dragonfruit plant looks impressive. Is it proper gardening to count your dragonfruit before it’s harvested? #growyourown npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…c5pz @nprofile…fvgq This interior photograph shows the rectangular wheat straw bales, the wire mesh, and wet brown clay plaster. Timber framing is visible around the door and above the window. The clay plaster is mixed in a tub mixer and then applied by hand. The ingredients are clay from the site, rough sand, wheat straw and water. One label is cob material. The window shows the wall depth when using wheat straw bales for their insulation properties. #cob, #Zone4b npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…fvgq Yes indeed. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…fvgq Lime plaster.

This harvest aspired to be steamed with sambal kelapa spiced carrots. This is an early green for southern Minnesota. Also the plant spreads aggressively by shallow runners and deep runners. Also the common name is stinging nettles. #nettles, #growyourown, #nodig, #compost, #minnesota, #Zone4b, #gardening npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…hqtq The gardening enthusiasts are part of the fediverse!

Your local gardening exchanges must be crowded with vanilla bean enthusiasts. #growyourown npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…8uk9 Thank you for sharing the bluebird splash party. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…mvq8 Let the people free. #concentrationcamps, #whipple, #iceout npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…5wal Welcome to the fediverse. It is good. The cat people have hashtags. The gardening people have hashtags. The shouting into the void people have a shared void. Example hashtags are #toebeantuesday, #whiskerswednesday, #gardening, #allotments npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…q8v5 Good. It is one data point for local law enforcement getting ICE to release an observer. #iceout npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…2wgq Oh very nice. Are any 2025 season leeks still in the pantry in a dehydrated form? npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…rg3c Congratulations! npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…fvgq It’s good to see greenery. It appears the wait for free windows was a success. #nodig npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…ch3z Thank you for sharing death doula experiences and honoring the moment. 🙏 npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…hgtt 44 Celsius is too hot. What slice of nature is OK at 44? #adelaide npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…spkl Thank you for talking about grinding the dried vegetables for a powder. You are thinking about grape leaves today. Tomatoes were one of your examples during 2025. We made powdered dehydrated tomatoes for our cooking. This is a handy ingredient. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators December 27, 2025. The garden seeds arrived! The photograph has a few interesting varieties. Purple cabbages were successful in 2025. We will expand with the Copenhagen variety. The rocket arugula will be planted in many more spots than last year. The Suyo Long cucumbers produced all growing season. They are back. It’s a big carrot year in the spiral notebook planning. We added a summer squash for fun. And we added another Arikara bean variety. #gardening, #minnesota, #nodig, #Zone4b npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…srdc They are beautiful peppers. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…p73g Yes very good, the first sips of rain go to the redwoods. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…8wpj Right you are. No wankerbutternoodle spam in your little free library. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…4xuz Regarding our compost and soil. It is a wonderful spot on the planet for black soil. And composting improves the structure. The location has never been a factory for war munitions, that helps. The location was under a glacier, prairie, deciduous trees and Dakota and Ho-Chunk. #nodig, #compost. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…tzlf Thank you to past you for making Sambal oelek. Does oelek imply the Sambal does not have garlic? #sambal npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…tdyq They are firm. They are going to stand up to the kabob. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators August 7, 2025. The patches of purple clover are habitat to crickets, grasshoppers, and katydids. The orb spiders are the predators. The predation is going well as there are four fat orb spiders in this clover. Only one spider is shown. #minnesota, #nativeplants, #pollinators, #spiders npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…uvkp The garlic crop looks great for the storage step. #growyourown, #garlic. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…tzlf The smell of fermenting garlic is a pleasant clue of progress in the fermentations. The fermentations are looking lovely.
