#ClimateDiary Profound (not) musings on my daily walk between home and school:

Trees and flowers are beautiful
(“Weeds”too - 💚 #NoSpray)
Cars are really ugly

Yet #CarCentrism and #Motonormativity mean most of us spend far more time seeing and thinking about cars than plants- driving them, trying not to get yourself or your children run over by them

About 5 years ago we had the gardners stop spraying pesticides and herbicides around a property I manage. Our native insect populations have really flourished since then (as have the abundant weeds which we are constantly hand pulling). Was quite happy to find the green bees burrowing in a newly planted area, yesterday, and our adrena bee colony looks to be happily spreading. <3

"I am the fire starter, twisted firestarter!"
This weed flamer is my new favorite weeding tool. Muahaha! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m so chuffed, have been trying to grow tomatoes for the 3 years we’ve lived here & finally - here they are!! #homegrown #tomatoes #salad #nospray #sunripened 🍅

#Pigweed reproduces in the #farm field and #garden by seed, which it produces a ton of. We put together a life cycle disruption information resource for #organic and #NoSpray farms but its also great info for #gardeners. https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1350/
