If you grow any citrus at all, grow this one.

Citrus obovata, Fukushu kumquat

Cold hardy to 28F/-2C, can be grown in a pot. Fruits 4-5 yrs from seed.

It’s the fruit that makes it so special. The peel is very sweet and chewy and the fruit inside balances it with a nice tartness. And bc you eat fruit+peel, it’s very nutritious.

I sell seedlings for $15 plus shipping available in early spring. Open to reservations now.

According to the new 2023 USDA Hardiness Zone Map, I'm now in Zone 8a.

Not surprising with global warming.

This means I should be able to plant some new (to me) perennials, but I'm wondering about that. Last year I lost a Texas tarragon, I think due to the unusually hard freezes (11 deg F) we had. It seems like the unpredictable extremes that climate change causes might mess up the whole zone map thing.

It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

This cup of #Hermes and a dog was made as a pair, the other depiting Apollon. The delicately painted seated #Hermes adorns the center of the cup, feeding or playfully teasing the hound reclining at his side.

Ornamental flowers which you can eat: Ornamental Garlic

Allium aflatunense,
Allium hollandicum,
Allium giganteum,
Allium cernuum,
Allium cristophii,
Allium karataviense,
Allium narcissiflorum,
Allium tuberosum,
Allium ramosum.

They flower in all colours. Some of them do not taste like garlic, but like chives or onions.

@plants One thing I'm noticing as I engage in a fall cleanup of my front yard, including mainly planting cold weather plants & adding mulch, the 2 quince trees that I planted this past spring in the front yard have not only survived but grown sizably, so I'm now considering planting a few more small trees in the front yard.

Another possibility is my trying to get some roses to put along my backyard property line, with some Egyptian walking onions, as I really don't like the stench roses have.

We lost the gravel battle, cuz the landlord says it's cheaper. Killing the = cost effective. In this section, he moved the gravel, put down new membrane, then put back the dirty gravel. Within 2 weeks, there was new grass. At 3 weeks, the grass is 4" tall. When I stick my finger into the gravel, the first digit is coated in dirt. He tried to charge the last tenant for the existent shoddy landscaping. We're thinking about putting heathers & lavenders in to save our deposit. #gardening @gardening

Now is the time for bulb lasagna!
Use species and leave a bit of room to plant a Hosta on top after they have finished flowering and chances are it will become a perennial affair.

Well, around 1500, in Swiss St Gall, nuts were distributed in memory of specific events. Such "memory nuts", as Carla Roth (in her The Talk of The Town" book) calls them, were reminders of old or to be renewed memories of events, things, power constellations etc.

It's a play on words: the contemporary German "Gedächntnuss" (memory) contains "nuss": nut.

I like big books and I cannot lie. Fellow #histodons, this is me in 2013 and 2023 doing my work.

My main field is called #bookhistory. It is an umbrella term, an overextension of many fields and approaches dealing with past communication flows and artifacts:

I think I have a problem. I have too many trees and plants and don't know what to do with them all. I have room for about 5% of what I have started here.

I’m equal parts delighted and terrified by my #cucumbers. Two days ago I got 15, and forgot to pickle them, and today I got 28 more. Do I even have that many jars? I’m eating them as fast as I can but I’m losing the war. I’ve ordered some food safe plastic 2 gallon buckets to help.
I’m growing two varieties, “Mideast peace” and “Addis pickle,” and Mideast is far and away my favorite. I’m only going to grow it next year.

Frage an die dt. #Selfpublishing -Gemeinschaft:
Wenn ich mit einem Buch von einem Dienstleister zum anderen wechsle (sagen wir von BoD zu Tredition), ändert sich ja die ISBN (hab keine eigenen ISBNs gekauft). Titel usw. bleiben gleich. Verliere ich dann alle Sternchen und Bewertungen bei den Online-Händlern?
Ich fürchte ja, oder? Thalia kriegt es ja nicht mal gebacken, mein eBook mit dem Print zusammenzulegen.☹️
