  • Gaia's Garden
  • Edible Forest Gardens (big text books!)
  • Teeming with microbes
  • I Contain Multitudes
  • Sproutlands: The endless gift of trees

Not necessarily about herbs, per se, but if you want to try creating as much food from your land, these are good places to start. Ecology is important!

Because "Git" is the technology. GitHub is just one site that works with it.

Solid advice 👍

an estimated 476 million Indigenous peoples dwell on lands that are home to 80 percent of the world’s biodiversity.

This seems important. This is a number not often talked about in aggregate, at least that I've seen. Recognizing my own dis-ease at feeling like I would have way underestimated that figure before reading.

Drink more water! Whenever I find myself grumpy, the culprit is usually dehydration... It makes everything harder IMO. Ymmv etc etc anecdata

I second this. I have one small cup of strong black coffee in the morning since that's all I can take, and then I switch to a thermos of hot loose leaf mint tea -- probably 4 cups a day or more. It's just so much more interesting than water, and helps keep things settled

I just read the FAQ, seems well designed. I work in the same space and their descriptions of how it will work makes a lot of sense. The system balances itself and can be super transparent, we'll see how it goes

Mark your calendar to swap out the tubes for new ones in early summer to help prevent disease and parasites (it sounds like you're aware of this, but leaving the comment just in case): https://news.vt.edu/articles/2020/03/ext-entomologists-tips-for-installing-and-maintaining-native-bee-houses.html

It's been very overcast and drizzling the last few days and these little 'manders absolutely love it at night. Pic taken this morning around 12:30am est.

These salamanders were laid in January and are getting pretty close to being fully grown - 20 to 60 days in egg + 60 to 90 days to develop into adult form.

This is an incisive look at simple living beyond the self from a quaker point of view.

When we practice simple living, we collectively say a resounding no to the consumerism, materialism, and waste of modern industrial society.

But how often do we ask ourselves whether our simple living actually does enable other people to live?

We noticed a bright twinkling red star around 10:15 pm GMT-4 about 20° (complete estimate) above the horizon to the SE as seen from east coast USA. I googled it and matched up the rest of Scorpio that was visible, and thought I'd share some cool facts about Antares :)

Lots of frogs and salamanders. Pond is under the drip line of two 80 foot white oaks. In the fall I'm going to cover with brush to help keep acorns out: They dye the water brown with tannins.

That being said, this past winter, very early January, I drained the pond to clean out the acorns and the refilled it (well water) and within two weeks spotted salamanders had started laying eggs!
