When the winter chickweed gives way to spring lettuce, who eventually flowers while the corn grows tall. When the lettuce seed sets as the summer corn tassles, ears swell and beans vine. It's a never ending spiral story called life, and you're in the middle of it right now

Comfrey is the bomb-proof food our family relies on for nutrition. This is how I harvest and dry comfrey leaves to drink throughout the year as Nourishing Herbal Infusions

Spring leek seed saving update >>>
We are saving seeds from our favorite leeks by eating the rest! It's a tasty process of elimination.

Oh wow! I hadn't considered that. I havent grown a cocktail tree but I'm considering grafting different varieties on some of my hawthorn seedlings when they are older. Good to know 🤗💚
I hear you! And I can relate. My first garden was about 300 square ft. So cool to have the opportunity to graft.... are you making cocktail trees? That is fun to imagine guerilla gardening with your pits 💚🤗
Thanks for sharing in the joy 💚🤗
😍 We laugh, play and dream together. It's these moments when it all comes together and feels just right. Often enough to know we made the right life decisions, rare enough to appreciate and hold precious.

More than half of the trees I've planted are grown from seed, I guesstimate.
Hundreds of trees, dozens of species of tree seeds grown over the last 8 years. Sooo worth the wait...
My heart is overjoyed! 💚🍑🙏🏼🤗

Here’s your invitation to take a moment and soak it all in. This reading of Mary Oliver’s poem, “When I Am Among the Trees” takes just one minute. Just one minute out of your busy day and the long spring task list, to hear the message often whispered to you.

Our whole propagation set up is both simple and seasonal - it’s a carport that we put up in the spring and take down in the summer. Noel turned old ladders into the perfect stands for our wood seed trays, which we built out of left over lumber. They’re the best!

There are a lot of fancy ways to make Biochar, but I prefer the simple slash pile method.
Lots of people make biochar a science, but I tend to see it more as an art.
🔥 Please burn responsibly.

Thanks to you, I’ve been a busy bee packing seeds! Here’s a peek into our grassroots operation, year 1. The seeds remind us everything starts small… “sleep, creep, leap!”
We’re excited to get these seeds into your gardens!

Hello hellebores! Hellebores are some of the earliest flowers in our garden and a beautiful prelude to spring season.
Beauty serves a great purpose - to awaken something deeper in us. I grow flowers to say thank you to the flowers and to the one who created all beauty.

🙏🏼 Allow me to introduce you to Sea Kale.
All winter I look forward to her emergence!
Later in the season we will enjoy the abundant food - for now I swim in her beauty.
✨️ We have seeds!

Can you see the tree buds swelling?
I've been watching the buds since winter solstice. Only the most watchful eye could see them slowly changing.
Now the buds are swelling faster until they finally unfurl.
Bud break is nearly upon us here!

I hear you! 💚
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! How exciting and thoughtful to keep yourself surrounded by inspiration, enthusiasm, hope and beauty... and sharing that with others! We all need more of that. 💚🙏🏼
The pinks and purples are stunning this colder time of year in Homesteader's Kaleidescopic Perennial Kale.
✨️ Yes, we have seeds!

(I thought that's what your quote was implying about agency, but i may have misread it) 💚🙏🏼
If you define renewal as a specific point in time, probably not. But as a gradient it has already begun, I know because it has begun in my heart, just as the end begun so many years ago. We can see this as the time of endings and also beginnings simultaneously
Hey friend, thanks for building community with this beautiful list! We'd love to be added here, it's right up our alley! 💚🙏🏼
Hi Folks,
I made a starter pack for people who like to grow food in tune with nature.
Please share, and let me know if you would like to be added or removed 🌱

I started a Regenerative Design/Permaculture pack, so I can more easily find others working in this realm. If you're doing work in this realm of permaculture, regenerative design, whole systems design, system thinking, etc, please let me know!
Hi Koreen, nice to meet you here! We're new to this platform and it's fun to see this community building! We'd love if you'd consider adding us. Our business ethos, online courses and seed offerings are all designed with permaculture, as well as the content we put out.
Thank you for helping us see and claim agency! This mirrors, at the individual level, Michael Meade's teachings of traditional mythological knowledge- that apocalypse is renewal, the end is also the beginning of something new and we are collectively in that transition time currently.
Oops, link: bsky.app/starter-pack...
Building soil and community year round!
The mainstream wants us divided, it would seem. I want us connected.
Grateful for neighbors, including folks with different values.
I'm learning and loving as I go.
For now... yay leaves! They mulched part of a swale
