Be the change you want to see.

Speak it; empower it; act it.

(And don’t forget to hold government representatives & business owners accountable to the community and to the country. Reach out to them. Speak with them. Educate them. Remind them.)

(Just a grandma’s opinion)

Changing the narrative to “evolving” empowers us to embrace change, initiate and support change, and to focus on the future and the possibilities rather than the pain caused by what isn’t working and the blaming of others.

Envision the possibilities (not just identifying the wrongs).

We tried things on for size, got addicted to many things, and let go of somethings, having learned that they didn’t “fit” after all or the side effects outweighed the benefits.

Today, it seems to me, as we label things as “broken”, we create anger, disempowerment, and divisiveness

At least you have tomatoes .. mine are just starting to flower (congrats)

I’ve read that pigs can do the trick because they are constantly digging and consuming everything so the bindweed doesn’t have a chance but, then, I bet the bindweed just makes it way to outside the pig’s area and continues on.

My heart goes out to you.
Bindweed argh. There is no winning

There has to be a “balancer” in its native environment. Haven’t found one, yet, here. Nothing stops it.

Isn’t that interesting: in normal times it would be a scandal .. and so because everything is bonkers they can do whatever they want … insightful

Hi. I think it is a lady bug, during one of its stages

I love “firsts” .. congratulations (I’ve never grown any)

Even with frequent 5c nights and the 2c extreme low, the plants survived.

I thought they would die. I gave up hope but left them in the soil.

And now? We get a ripe, delicious, tomato every couple of days!

Will definitely repeat this strategy.

I’m crossing my fingers for everything in my garden. We had a surprise low of 1c last weekend

You are inspirational

I like your positivity!!

Grrr :(
My strawberries are still green but I will be putting something over them this year - last year I put little mesh bags over each berry and the birds destroyed the bags and berries

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I wait and see. Can’t hurt to leave it there for a while.

June 1: went down to 2c this morning. What is happening??!!

It is like we have lost a month of growing season (Ont. Canada)
