#Introductions ๐ป Professional plant person. Fled the city to a fixer upper property; set up a homestead/food forest in the mountains of #Appalachia with my partner and cats. Used to co-run a community garden. Nerd. Hort/ag/food policy is my jam, as well as soil science. Here to learn, and to share what I've learned. I mod r/solarpunk and the solarpunk discord. #diy #solarpunk #gardening #homesteading #foodforest #herbivore

After freezing rain in Michigan, apples that hadnโt been picked got coated in ice. Many fell off the tree. Some had their insides turn to mush as apples have lower freezing points. The mush and skin fell, leaving these โghost apples.โ

Fingers are sore from potting up 1000s of pansy plugs the past couple of days, but excited for spring! Love the way the pansies smell. #plants
It's kinda cliche in the US to celebrate George Washington Carver during #BlackHistoryMonth, but y'all I just gotta, the man is a complicated, relatable legend.

On April 15 #ExtinctionRebellion will shut down London, demanding a sane response to the climate crisis, guided by citizen assemblies.
If you support this plan, you need to know about #vTaiwan - the world's most advanced citizen participation process.

About to go on a weeding rampage. This is my weeding/guerrilla gardening theme song . Even if you think you don't like this sort of music, try hanging around to Dessa's part (1:40) which is amazing. The lyrics are solarpunk af. "My girl gave me a bolt cutter / We love to break in / Reclaim all the spaces / They forgot they had taken / And all this is ours / It's gonna be what we make it / If only the stars were close enough we would paint them" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWDHxK_HfOw #music #doomtree

Story of my life. ๐ญ The disarming case to act right NOW on #ClimateChange. Please watch this video & seriously re-think everything you do, every step you take throughout your day can be changed & is easy to adapt to. I'm new to Mastodon, & I plan on tooting tips I've taken to lower my own impact on this planet. Keeping these thoughts to myself only stresses me out more...๐ข ๐ถ
I read some distilling info online and everyone kept referencing this book, so I picked it up. It really doesn't have too much additional information for what you can find already, though there is a section in the back where they give tips on dealing with particular types of plants. #homesteading #diy #herbalism #witch
Found a basic guide for dressing in the cold, in case it is helpful for those enduring and about to enduring dangerously cold weather. Try to stay warm y'all! #weather
