This is terribly sad and disappointing. One of my favorite and the most serene of urban places, Portland's Lan Su Chinese Garden in Old Town vandalized - What ARE people thinking? #Portland #Oregon #Vandlism #UrbanGarden https://www.kgw.com/article/news/crime/lan-su-chinese-garden-vandalism-damage/283-11b24b9e-5d0a-4c97-8dfd-f3583d4388cc

In other #BalconyGarden news, with a cornucopia of multicoloured, variously-shaped, fragrant flowers to choose from, the pollinators seem to love the Winter Savory the best.

Welp, the tomatoes are completely out of control again this season. Just two plants have taken over one end of the balcony, and I've had to tie their cages to the railing to keep the plants from pulling the cages out entirely. So many tomatoes coming.

My first attempt at growing okra in Wales. What a beautiful okra flower! #okra #containergardening #urbangarden #growyourown #growyourownveg #garden #gardening #Wales #WelshValleys #Backtoourroots

Forests in urban spaces are a high priority for coping with excessive heat caused by the #ClimateCrisis. Adding some fruit trees would be a bonus. #urbangarden
It's happening... The ripening! #gardening #tomatoes #urbangarden now I just have to hope the squirrels don't eat them.
First tomatoes I've ever grown!

Well after our disaster with our cherry trees getting a fungus infection, we decided to use our apple trees to make "apple pie vodka" instead of the cherry liqueur we had planned to

New instance; new #introduction post!
I am a #queer software engineer in #philadelphia working with #gis & #civictech. I was previously a bike mechanic and bike tour leader.
I get around by bicycle mostly and love to #biketour and #mtb. I love playing in my #urbangarden in both our backyard and containers on the porch. I try to live as much like a #solarpunk as I can. I occasionally dabble in #pixelart as well.
I have been keeping a #blog lately at https://travissouthard.com/blog

First attempt at pickles this (or any) year! And all with veggies grown on my terrace. Fingers crossed for the results!

This week I visited different forms of #urbangarden in #Munich with our students to discuss the #GreenInfrastructure planning principle of #SocialInclusion. We ran into very different, school book like examples of #communitygarden. Find the difference. #Urban #GreenSpace

Our raspberry bushes in our tiny #urbangarden continue to be a source of joy for me 😍

So it turns our this is a fairly serious fungal infection (Monilinia) so I just spent the day collecting the infected cherries and pruning branches that had an Amber like substance on them, a bit disheartening, hoping it will recover next year but feel like we figured it out too late and now the fungus is in the soil ☹️

It's done! Well, not entirely, I still need to build the bottom and line it but my DIY raised bed from pallets is almost done!
It took me four days. I'll need a few more days to finish it but I'm quite proud of the result.
For now, I'm using it to stash the remaining materials. Soon, it will be filled with life. Hopefully. We'll see, it's a bit late in the season to be doing stuff like this.

Today I'm going to build some raised beds from pallets that we found by the garbage bins in the street. Pray for me.

Disaster, I think the weather we've been having has dried out both Cherry trees, I don't think there's anything we can use.
At least the blackbirds are happy...

Looking at it you'd never know how aggressively I trimmed back this Fuschia bush only a few months ago, it has nearly trippled in size since then, much more full of flowers than last year though and the bees love it
I saw no poop presents on the snow all winter. I hadn't seen our fluffy fertilizer spreaders 🐰all spring. I guessed that perhaps it was our #DogsOfMastodon #Puppy that was keeping them away. Yesterday, during the rain, pup had her nose pressed to the window watching the hippity hops munch around the back yard. My false sense of security has disappeared, along with the parsley!
