@LallyLuckFarm The original post was about a wonderful.man who fights for poor folks explaining its all tied together, climate poverty racism, but used the phrase "just gardening" Gardening is never just gardening, its NOT merely anything, and the priority of replacing carbon burned energy is not debatable. Climate collapse is a plastic bag over our head. Thanks for your insight.#climate

    I'm not entirely sure how to parse your reply, but, reading charitably, I think we agree. Gardening is dozens of different disciplines with as many approaches as there are gardeners, with scores of benefits for everyone who practices it.

    Gardening is community-building praxis. It enables us to feed our neighbors, teach people to appreciate nature, and creates opportunities to discuss topics that would otherwise cause some to tune us out. The climate crisis, food insecurity, class struggle, community resilience, and so many other topics become incredibly more palatable to a wider audience when viewed and discussed through the lens of gardening. Is it the only thing we should be doing? No, of course not, but it empowers us to grow so much more than just plants.

    @TRAHR We must replace our energy system. Or we will not make it.I have no idea how to describe the political econony of the governments moving quickest.I am sure hopeful democracy gets hand the US.The AUS labour government, like my Canadian government is betraying us all with paltry effort replacing carbon.We cant wait for a "socialist utopia" to end carbon.Happy to help make the economy serve us all, not billionaires, too. Climate change is child hanging from fingers priority.

    @TRAHR No amount of gardening will save life from global warming. Billions have already been paid for drought, Canada lost 80 billion trees to climate heat in 30 months. Socialists have to STOP burning carbon, receding democracies must end oil, French speaking countries, former communist lands must, emerging powerhouses of mixed economy must END burning carbon, or life ends on earth.I'm sorry Chico Mendes doesnt understand this. He should be told.#brazil #climate #brasil #oil

    I'm hoping by my bean plant reaches the squirrel picnic bench in the first picture by the end of the growing season. My neighbour will definitely get a laugh out of it. She enjoys the wildness of my garden and I even caught her weaving some of the beans through the fencing one day

    I haven't seen any ticks in years in the middle of the suburbs. I have to go to the hiking trails to find them. I do however have a wonderful collection of bees, spiders, dragonflies, small white butterflies and these colourful, shiny beetles in my garden that I get to enjoy.

    I think its not a matter of vanishing and reappearing, but it is floating. It moved 30km from the last location or something. So it has to get spotted again

    Yes, we have to cover things pretty consistently when they're first sprouting. Cardinals, tanagers, and sparrows seem to love pulling young plants out. There's usually less interest after a week or so, depending on how quickly the sprouts grow.
