We joke about annuals vs. perennials, but why don't we talk about self-seeding annuals? What are your fav self-seeding annuals/biennials?
Last year I threw thousands of bok choy seeds over the bare soil of my newly soiled (🤭) "herb" garden. Hundreds of bok choy came up.

We're a little late, but our new garden planner [beta] is ready for testing on desktop (mobile coming soon).
If you want to save a plan, you can log in and create a new plan from the Create menu, or just play around here.
Let us know what you think!

3rd of May. Still not possible to buy the #deutschlandticket on @DB_Bahn because “overloaded”. There couldn’t be a better political message than this.

My main takeaway from watching humans argue that GPT-4 isn’t capable of reasoning is that I’m more deeply persuaded than ever that 90% of human reasoning is just rationalizing prior assumptions against ambiguous external stimuli. It’s hallucinations all the way down.

Just 3 weeks ago I learned about Landrace Gardening from the @DoomerOptimism podcast. And it makes me angry and delighted. How come none of the permaculture books I've read, talk about this? Why do so few home gardeners know about this? 1/10

Anyone in Berlin or the EU interested in avocado scions from a two year old plant grown from seed? I have some and would give them away for free.

I still have a long standing to do to put all my seeds in a PP list and then I know what I have. Good that we are working on the next gen list feature ;)

It’s seed sorting time!
How do you organize your seeds? Every year I update my spreadsheet inventory, but management wise, this isn’t sustainable.

Just pruned my avocado heavily. I am keeping the scion in the fridge in case it doesn’t take on and I’ll try to graft it on the trunk. Wish me luck! 🤞
