Stepping on @LallyLuckFarm's toes because I like these posts
It's been a frigid and gusty week here in New England, I needed two pairs of gloves for my bike ride to work yesterday! Just a couple of kale plants hanging on in my garden outside, but inside my potted camellia sinensis recently flowered for the first time! I'm currently battling a spider mite infestation and it did not enjoy lack of watering while I was away for Thanksgiving, but hopefully it'll bounce back in the spring.
What's growing on for you all? I hope all you southern hemisphere folks are enjoying the peak of the season!
I've been preoccupied growing and training up a Juniper (our four month old), but I've also got a closet full of Cuban Oregano (Plectranthus). Every time they get tall enough to touch the grow lights I take cuttings to make more. Like Chris, I'm freezing my butt off.
I'm currently soliciting donations for our town's seed library, and will be getting together with folks in a few weeks to organize and package all the donations. The library also built a greenhouse with a grant this past year, so we'll be planning some crops and their rotations in there and in the ADA raised beds we built last year.
There are a ton of seeds we collected from our cultivated plants and ones we foraged during the fall, those will be started soon to be ready for spring plantings and for our library's annual plant sale fundraiser.
So great that your library is doing so much. In our town we are also growing the seed library and hopefully see a lot of the seeds coming in from plants grown from seed.
That's awesome, I'm glad to hear that your community is doing one too!
