Was feeling this morning like we've been neglecting the community allotment this year. We've been short staffed and some of our regular volunteers have been unwell. I had a lovely afternoon down there potting up many things that had self seeded accompanied by lots of buzzing bees loving the lungwort and honey berry flowers. Now have many pots of strawberries, chives, foxgloves to pass on and lots of things are growing happily so all ok. 🐝🌱😃 #gardening #permaculture #Allotment #AllotmentLife

Got given a batch of very old fruit and veg seeds and done some germination testing (most have 50 - 70% germination rates which is pretty good). Thought I'd just plant these globe artichoke seeds and give them a try. Seeds are allegedly best sown before 2017. I soaked them for a few days in water and then put in a covered seed tray in my car to act as a mini greenhouse. 2 weeks later half have come up. It really does annoy me the hype from seed sellers that you must use new seeds - it is true for some veg but for most things it really isn't! For anyone concerned about where I'm going to plant a dozen globe artichokes which will grow into enormous plants.. will give most away through our #CommunityFridge and keep one. #permaculture #GrowYourOwn #Allotment #AllotmentLife

Hi! 👋 I just joined, and while I figure this out, let me tell you a bit about me.

I'm a maker of dolls inspired by nature, folklore, labyrints of myth, mind and magic. My dolls are mostly witches, and when they leave my home, they often become altar dolls. It's been a weird and interesting journey of doll making for the past 7 years, 600+ dolls now live in homes and collections around the world.

Besides crafting dolls I'm into permaculture, paganism, self-sufficiency, foraging and neverending self-development. I'm a forest dweller, mushroom hunter, food grower and herb lover deep in the countryside in Latvia (North-Eastern Europe). All of that I might occasionally share here. I would love to connect with like-minded people, so, if you're here, say 'hi'! I hope you are somewhere here...

The bee population die off that has stricken the United States agricultural sector is a four alarm fire.

They don’t have a solid idea why this is happening, but this die off is occurring in parallel to the mass die off of insect populations all over the world and the unraveling of the food web.
