    The Greek oregano I started from seed last year is flourishing (so proud!), and about to start flowering. So this is the moment: freeze or dry to preserve it for winter? #gardening #herbgarden #herbs #oregano #eatwhatyougrow #foodpreservation #KitchenGarden

    First time growing sweet potatoes! Saw slips for sale and couldn&amp;#39;t resist, even though it&amp;#39;s still frosty at night here. ๐Ÿฅถ So....how long can I keep these slips in a jar of water? I need 2 weeks to heat the soil with black plastic. Will the slips last that long? #gardening #sweetpotatoes #vegetablegardening #eatwhatyougrow #michigan

    New England moving toward legalizing plug-in/balcony solar All 6 states- even New Hampshire- have legislation in process. Maine&amp;#39;s could be signed into law next week. Electricity is expensive in New England by US standards and prices are rising, like everywhere (thanks, ๐ŸŠ) Momentum is building on this! #solar #cleanenergy #balconysolar #pluginsolar #electrification #climatechange #climatehope #maine #newengland https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/balcony-solar-bills-make-inr...

    &amp;quot;Red flare for Trump: &amp;#39;No Kings&amp;#39; rallies a show of political force&amp;quot; I don&amp;#39;t love everything about how this is written, but I do love its assertion that ๐Ÿ’™ there was at least one No Kings event in every congressional district in the US on Saturday. ๐Ÿ’™ And that more protesters were from rural or suburban areas than last time. #nokings #resist #uspol https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/03/29/no-kings-rallies-a-red-flare-for-trump/8930605...

    Record-breaking amount of wind and solar installed in 2025 Despite the irrational and weird vendetta of ๐ŸŠ toward wind: From global energy think tank Ember: the world installed a record 814 GW of new solar and wind capacity in 2025, 17% more than in 2024 (696 GW). #cleanenergy #solar #wind #climatechange #climatehope https://ember-energy.org/latest-updates/world-adds-a-record-breaking-814-gw-of-solar-and-wind-in-2025/

    Outlining a new podcast episode on weeds and the Victorian language of flowers. Can&amp;#39;t place &amp;quot;Speedwell,&amp;quot; so I go digging, and it&amp;#39;s: - Veronica spp, a mat-forming weed I pull up - been used as a cure-all tea since the Romans - edible - everywhere because our Victorian forebears loved it in their gardens. ๐Ÿคฏ What else don&amp;#39;t I know about these mundane-yet-amazing plants? Anybody got a favorite Speedwell fact or myth? #gardening #speedwell #herbology...

    River otters are back, and Ohio has led the way. Yes, *that* Ohio: &quot;Otters are back. And their presence proves something worth remembering. Healing is possible. Ecosystems can recover. The story of the Great Lakes โ€“ its waters, its people, its wildlife โ€“ is still unfolding.&quot; #wildlife #otter #greatlakes #Ohio #ontario #Michigan #newyork #cleanwater #waterquality #pollution #habitat #ecology #Minnesota https://www.rewildingmag.com/the-river-otters-remarkable-comeback/

    ๐ŸŒฑ Celebrating the start of making newspaper pots in which to start seeds with the annual reposting of the instructions for the pots! These are square pots. You can plant the entire pot into the ground, but I usually gently pull off at least some of the newspaper first. https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Newspaper-Pots/ #gardening #seedstarting #reuse #growyourown #RaisedBed #vegetables #flowers #spring
