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

That will help, generally wood ash is about 5 percent potassium. Don’t overdo it and try to fix it with one application - you could alter the pH in the immediate root zone in a way the pecan won’t appreciate.
Possibly a potassium deficiency. Potash additives could help to address that, but there are a number of products that can increase the available K.
We have lemon thyme as well as your standard garden variety (hah!) thyme. They split readily to make new clonal cuttings, and I’ve rarely had one fail regardless of the timing of the division. We dry it for use in teas or for cooking, and it makes a good ground cover partner for plants like strawberries. The small flowers help to support solitary bees as well as parasitoid wasps, which help to regulate the insect pressure on the thyme’s plant neighbors.
Great stuff! That’s how we do it too
Putting in a bioregion or something like a USDA zone (better if it’s Trewartha) would be very helpful for folks to know what to recommend. Here is a spreadsheet I made from the appendix in Edible Forest Gardens Vol. 2 if you would like too many options. This list is geared for the Northeastern US, so it is not exhaustive and may not apply to your circumstances.
Something I enjoy growing is Carolina Allspice, Calycanthus floridus. We strip and dry the bark for use as a cinnamon-y allspice type spice, whether grated or just used to stir a drink
Interesting.
The times I’ve sheet mulched with materials that required removal, said material was only removed for replanting
These are great! I <3 mushies
Awesome photos, thank you for sharing! You’ve made me envious, I’ll have to grow some of these next year
Planting Justice is a permaculture nursery in Oakland, CA,. Here is a video from Andrew Millison’s channel highlighting the work they do. Besides being jealous of all those heat-loving plants I can’t grow, their efforts towards reparative justice and providing inspiring work and living wages, especially to former inmates, is truly inspiring.
This variety is called ‘Red Fuseau’
The seeds should germinate just fine under your cardboard, unless you’ve got a ton of the species that need light to germinate (most don’t, in my experience). That’s awesome though, I can’t tell you how excited I am for your project!
That is my recollection as well
Adding context to context, there was a movement to change the constitution to allow him to run for president around then too
Wowza! All our mantids this year were way smaller than that
The last time we received a product catalogue from them, there were two pages dedicated to praising Reagan and reaganomics. We don’t order from them, but we haven’t canceled the catalogues; that way some of their money at least helps to fund the postal service, and we can be a net loss on their books
just some Heather
Heathers play a huge role in providing forage to a number of butterflies, moths, and bees, so great job!
Very nice! A previous owner of our home left us peonies and I love them. Get that garlic in!
