Remember to move hornworms to your non-production/trap tomatoes to see more of them!

That's what I've used them for as well =D

Happy planning / planting!

You can check out the toolkit over at Permapeople.org, though I'm unsure exactly how open the codebase is. I do know they're hoping to make it community run in the future, and that the devs share pretty much whatever is asked of them.

Less in the spirit of your question, but something I've used relatively extensively is the mymaps.google tool. Here's hoping someone with some better answers than me comes along (and I remember to check back) to give additional alternatives

but just looking and seeing some truly cosmic stuff in front of your unassisted eyes hits different.

It's so true. I've gotten to see them before, way up Maine, but not as brightly as this evening and it was breathtaking. Our whole dead end street was all out at the same time, we could hear each other marveling at it all

I'm so glad you got to catch it this time!

Recently a friend and I were talking about the pop punk band LWL, and he asked if I had their discography or even just their album "Quarter Life Crisis". I had several of their tracks on an old hard drive but not nearly as much as I thought, so we went looking online for their music but found.... nothing. Okay, maybe not "nothing" since there are tracks like "I'll Always Remember the 6th" on youtube but nothing as far as album rips are concerned.

So, any of you old punks with large collections - can you help a brother out?

Hoping folks enjoy their festivities safely

 

Hey folks! I'm hoping that someone can recommend a book or two on herbalism - preferably ones where the author discussed the terpenes and secondary plant metabolites more than the magickal properties of the plants in question.

Currently I'm looking up plants through things like the NIH portal but would prefer to have some books I could reference as well; those studies are usually focused on one or two metabolites or compounds and it would be nicer to have that sort of information for each indicated use. For example: plantain (Plantago major) and comfrey (Comfrey officinale) are both used for skin conditions due to their production of allantoin; mountain mints (Pycnanthemum spp) are used in various ways for their production of carvacrol, menthone, isomenthone, ฮฒ-elemene, limonene, piperitone, and germacrene D.

Thanks!

 

There are about a hundred potted perennials out on my front lawn right now as the latest wintry mix hits our area, and someone dropped off a huge box of cell trays and small pots to us yesterday. Some of them will go to our local library for their gardeners workshops and to prep for their annual plant sale fundraiser, some will go to the Master Gardeners program for their spring fundraiser, and I will attempt to find space for what we end up keeping.

What's growing on with you all?

 

Today marks the beginning of the second full week of Spring in the northern hemisphere, even if some of us are stuck in second winter. Share your garden goals, projects, challenges, and successes for this growing season; share your tips, tricks, and garden hacks, or anything else you'd like. Let's all help each other grow something beautiful together!

If folks are into it, I'd like to make this a weekly thread for everyone to share updates and assistance as the year progresses. Please let me know if that's something you'd all like.

While I don't love what ice storms do to this year's buds, their effects on the leftovers from last year are beautiful.

 

What's everybody doing to celebrate?
