Today, our gardens were my biggest source of solace and hope, and I hope that yours are comfort for you all as well. I went hard planting more fruit bushes and will be hitting up our town’s seed library tomorrow to hedge some bets for next spring.
One of the plant families I went big on this past year is Pycnanthemum - mountain mints. Not only are they a good source of nutrition for pollinators, they have the added benefit of being an abortifacient you can grow on the DL. There are a number of species, not just P. virginianum, so check to see what’s endemic to your region and have a patch growing for your local support network <3
What’s growing on with you all?
Is it too late to plant garlic?
Now is a great time to plant garlic, provided you’re in the northern hemisphere. Here in New England, around Halloween is prime planting time
Been planting tulips, hyacinth, crocus, and peony. Need to plant my garlic!
Very nice! A previous owner of our home left us peonies and I love them. Get that garlic in!
