Found these Pitiful Little Begonias in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 3 weeks agoAround Christmas I was still chopping leaves to put over my beds for winter. I raked a couple front flower beds and saw these little signs of life–a leaf or two–under the leaves. Normally I don’t take many plants indoors and just buy new ones in the spring. However, I couldn’t get these tough little guys out of my mind. Begonias! Ou…[Read more]

New Greenhouse Doors, Onions in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 3 months agoThis small greenhouse is on the side of my house. Previously, the windows on the front were two large framed windows. One window for the top half, a second for the bottom half. However, I thought these doors would be more interesting, so I had some carpenters come in and replace the large panes last week. The other side is similar to this, but…[Read more]

Look how Big these Mums Grew! in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 4 months agoI’m astounded at my pot of chrysanthemums. They’ve hung in there and sort of existed for a couple of years. This year they’ve about tripled in size in spite of three plus weeks of evacuation and no water, and this week three days without power, which means no water. They’re blooming like crazy. Everything else is limp, dead or dying.

Look how Big these Mums Grew! in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 4 months agoI’ve noticed here in SW PA that mums seem to be more brilliant. I’ve never included them in my garden, but I’m just getting started in retirement to develop a good all around the house thing. It’s inspiring to see it.

Look how Big these Mums Grew! in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 4 months agoOver the past week to 10 days, I’ve been putting my garden to bed. Nothing left but a few lettuce plants grown for the fall. And a few clumps of hardy flowers. All else is dirt-brown or getting close. My asparagus is the current king of the plot. 200 sq feet of ferns just now beginning to shed their chlorophyll.
All gone but.for the canned…[Read more]

Look how Big these Mums Grew! in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 4 months agoBelieve it or not, this started out as a 99 cent mum in a four-inch pot:
A few others:
This will probably be my last large tomato. I have a few still producing San Marzanos and quite a few with cherry tomatoes.
These turban-shaped peppers make me smile every time I see one.
I have several broccoli plants like this one. It has just…[Read more] -

Centuries After Their Loss and Theft, Native American Seeds Are Reuniting With Their Tribes in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 5 months agoTHE SQUASH HAD TRAVELED A thousand miles to rest quietly on Henrietta Gomez’s arms. The elder farmer from Taos Pueblo, a 1,000-year-old Indigenous town in northern New Mexico, held the light-green vegetable like a baby. Before that bright October morning, it had been several decades since the people of Taos Pueblo had seen a squash like the one i…[Read more]

An introduction states the booklet was designed to “support Dene communities to get back to the bush and to keep healthy as they deal with illness during the C…[Read more]

Herbalists, I have a question. in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 9 months agoFunny enough the best deal on it that I know of comes from an online retailer of Kratom. They sell several kinds of herbs. I use that and their Skullcap, as well as their Kratom.
Full disclosure, they once sent me a free bag of Kratom to review. 🙂

Herbalists, I have a question. in the forum Jackpine Radical Gardening 9 months agoIf you like I’ll PM you the names of two good forums for Kratom users, and one Facebook group as well.
Avoid the Kratom extracts unless you have major pain and the regular Kratom is too hard to assimilate in the amounts needed. Some people do get addicted to the extracts.
If you have Netflix, here’s a…[Read more]
