First ripe blackcap raspberries in my yard. This patch showed up on its own, and I get tasty bettors for the low, low cost of not doing anything (I do occasionally pull bindweed off them and remove dead canes, but that's it). Native plants for the win!

Scurrying about my garden looking for materials for my new hugelkultur mound has me feeling like a terranean beaver.

#todayshappy the snowdrop hanging basket is starting to get ready to flower. Planted in 2019 I sow annual meadow flowers in the top. I relined the basket this spring and the snowdrops are pushing through happily #hangingbasket #gardening #sustainablegardening #mygarden #signsofspring

New on the blog: #taplink https://www.blackberrygarden.co.uk/2022/12/book-review-recycling-in-garden-by.html I review the new book from Angela Youngman ‘Recycling in the Garden’ an informative and inspirational guide to #sustainablegardening #bookreview #gardenblog #GardeningMastodon #newbooks #recycle #reuse

Apparently I missed a good news piece last week.

Eight Anishnaabeg #FirstNations now have local greenhouses growing the fruits & vegetables that their communities want & need. This is a big improvement over the food bank & welfare model that was imposed upon these communities previously and should do a lot more to improve conditions & access to healthy food.

Hopefully we'll see this program (which includes culturally-appropriate addiction & mental health services) expand further, and eventually transform from mere "social services" into community-based #SustainableGardening, #Indigenous sustainable land stewardship, and a cultural revitalization.

The article also talks about the "legacy of land claim negotiations" (#colonialism), but not in a substantial manner.
