Kevin Cianfarini<p>Victory gardens were a tactic used for the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany during WWII to supplement food rations during wartime. They were hugely successful and supplied up to 40% of the US' supply of fresh vegetables. I've been thinking about them a lot lately considering the tariffs, isolationism, fascism, and more. </p><p><a href="https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/victory-gardens-on-the-world-war-ii-home-front.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nps.gov/articles/000/victory-g</span><span class="invisible">ardens-on-the-world-war-ii-home-front.htm</span></a></p><p>It's unfortunately seeming an awful lot like this kind of self sustenance practice is going to be important again over the next few years because of Dictator Dipship. I want to reclaim the term and deem them Resistance Gardens, because yes -- I can and will find joy and community in opposing your ass. Even for simple, yet crucially important things like how I put food on the table. </p><p><a href="https://dmv.community/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/VegetableGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VegetableGardening</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/growyourown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>growyourown</span></a></p>

This not only helps the peas and beans grow but can help other plants later grow in that same spot. What many people don't know is that a significant amount of nitrogen fixing by peas and beans happens only when a special legume inoculant has been added to the soil.</p><p>"Using pea and bean inoculants is simple. First, purchase your legume inoculant from your local nursery or a reputable online gardening website. Once you have your garden soil inoculant, plant your peas or beans (or both). When you plant the seed for the legume you are growing, place a good amount of the legume inoculants in the hole with the seed. You cannot over inoculate, so don't be afraid of adding too much to the hole. The real danger will be that you will add too little garden soil inoculant and the bacteria will not take. Once you have finished adding your pea and bean inoculants, cover both the seed and the inoculant with soil. That's all you have to do to add organic gardening soil inoculants to the soil to help you grow a better pea, bean, or other legume crop."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beans/soil-inoculants.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gardeningknowhow.com/edible/ve</span><span class="invisible">getables/beans/soil-inoculants.htm</span></a></p><p>However, the inoculants for most legumes will not work for peanuts...</p><p>"Will soybean inoculant work in peanuts?</p><p>A. No. The product may be similar in name, but the species of bacteria needed for these two legume crops are different. Bacteria know what their primary host is and the signal chemicals sent out from the roots of the soybean are different than those sent out by peanut. The soil is full of many different types of bacteria, but those signal chemicals tell exactly which bacteria to respond. Putting a soybean inoculant on peanuts is simply wasting money.</p><p>"To get the benefits of nitrogen fixation and the resulting vigorous root growth, disease protection and, ultimately, a boost in yields, an inoculant specially produced for peanuts should be used."</p><p><a href="https://peanutgrower.com/feature/inoculant-guide-q-a/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">peanutgrower.com/feature/inocu</span><span class="invisible">lant-guide-q-a/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gardening</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowingPeanuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowingPeanuts</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Peanuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Peanuts</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowingBeans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowingBeans</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoilInoculents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoilInoculents</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>So, I had already picked up some "seed peanuts" from the local feed store (which reminds me -- almost time for seed potatoes and baby onions), and I've grown them in the past. However, I've never tried growing them from store peanuts, so if someone else has, let me know how it worked out. Also, peanuts are another plant that benefits from inoculants -- however, peanut inoculant is different than bean inoculant! (More about inoculants in my next post).</p><p>How to Grow Peanuts in Soil from Store-Bought Nuts<br>Lois Capone by Lois Capone <br>March 25, 2025 </p><p>"I’ve always found something magical about growing food from everyday grocery items.

DoomsdaysCW<p>Beans are pretty easy to grow, but they have more yield if an inoculant is used (more on that in another post). </p><p>Companion Planting with Beans</p><p>26 April 2018, written by Barbara Pleasant</p><p>"Fast to mature and easy to grow, beans have several characteristics that make them good partners for other vegetables. They tolerate partial shade, and most beans have tiny hooked hairs on their leaves that entrap aphids and other small insects. Beans can fix nitrogen taken from the air, so they make fewer demands on the soil's nutrient supply compared to other vegetables. Beans also deter weeds with their dense growth both above and below the ground.</p><p>"How you use beans as companion plants depends on what you hope to accomplish. High-rise walls of pole beans can be used to provide shade for neighbors that suffer in strong summer sun, while low-growing bush beans can be used as weed-suppressing ground covers between rows of potatoes.</p><p>Whether they grow on vines or bushes, you will need good access to beans that are harvested as green or snap beans, which need to be picked every other day when the crop is ready. Dry beans, which are left on the plants until the pods dry to brown, can simply be left to grow, so they are a great option for Native American-inspired Three Sisters plantings comprised of corn, beans, and long-vined winter squash or pumpkins.

Jo Rhodes<p>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!

Bec<p>A day of being near plants. First stop, the community garden for produce swap day, where I took peppermint cuttings and swapped for a cute little posey (posy?) in an old Vegemite jar. Also took two figs and some silverbeet, the latter of which I will add to the pea soup I'm making tomorrow. </p><p>I got to chat to a friend and meet some new people, and we tentatively discussed meeting up again socially soon (outside of the scheduled garden catch-ups).</p><p>Then dropped Dad home via Bunnings, where he bought some pots and other odds and ends, and I bought two punnets of English spinach seedlings and one of bok choy. </p><p>So this afternoon has been pulling up all the weeds (I mean, not ALL the weeds, of course – I have to leave some for another day or I'd be bored, right? Right) and planting out the seedlings in pots. Ideally I'd have them in raised beds but that's not possible just yet. We'll see what I can salvage/create as the year progresses. I figure if I can keep up the nutrients to them in these small pots they're going to be OK</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/gardeningAU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardeningAU</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bloomscrolling</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/saturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saturday</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plants</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ThingsILove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThingsILove</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityGarden</span></a></p>
