Someone forgot to plant some saved Campari tomato seed so those are 8 days behind the others. Someone also plucked some things and potted them up as extras.

So, just in case, I downloaded the entire USDA guide to canning. I refer to it every year when I can. I expect canning more things this year and want to make sure I have access to safe instructions. I'm afraid it might get DOGE'ed

Container Gardening
Even with limited growing space, certain cultivars of beans, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes can be grown in large containers with plants producing the same amount as garden planted varieties.

Seems like I made a good choice to suspend my super exclusive special annual subscription to the online store with all the stuff that just doubled in price.
#BuyLocal - if you can find it.
#RightToRepair just took on a whole new meaning now that capitalism decided to back a madman bent on revenge and retribution against any and all around the world who don’t express their sufficient loyalty and respect to his highest level of supreme judgements in the best deal making ever of all time in history or into the glorious new gilded age future.

Picture of my rather lovely well worn and thumbed copy of 'Grow Your Own Vegetables' by Joy Larkcom. Has anyone else got an old favourite that they keep going back to? I only wish they made this in a spiral bound or at least threaded copy! This book is just the cats pyjamas, she has so much research and advice crammed in it.
More weeding done at the allotment and back home opted to sow more broad beans in pots as we have quite a few mice down there... #allotment #growyourown #gardening

Victory gardens were a tactic used for the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany during WWII to supplement food rations during wartime. They were hugely successful and supplied up to 40% of the US' supply of fresh vegetables. I've been thinking about them a lot lately considering the tariffs, isolationism, fascism, and more.

It's unfortunately seeming an awful lot like this kind of self sustenance practice is going to be important again over the next few years because of Dictator Dipshit. I want to reclaim the term and deem them Resistance Gardens, because yes -- I can and will find joy and community in opposing your ass. Even for simple, yet crucially important things like how I put food on the table.
Cool spring here, so outside plants aren’t growing much yet. Lots of growth indoors: onions, leek, cabbage, kale, broccoli, tomatillo, ground cherry, pepper, eggplant, basil, thyme
Gotta love #NewEngland
35° F / 2°C tonight
Pulling less hardy seedlings
To bask on dining room table
@yvan Kholrabi is a good vegetable. It will be on the table soon. It’s a good vegetable for mixed vegetable kimchi. The allotment is looking good. #growyourown.
That's me done for the day: planted out 140 onion sets Sturon at the allotment, pleased as the bags say 50 each an extra 40! I should have around a hundred more raised from seed to go out in a few weeks. We like onions A bit more weeding before lunch then pricking out all these tomatoes. Phew, tea and a book time!

Sow radishes with carrots, parsnips, onions & more in March–April. They sprout fast, marking your rows within days! Harvest in 4–6 weeks to clear space for slower growers. A simple, clever trick to track growth & boost success. #gardening #growyourown #veggiegarden
The humble radish
The humble radish is one of the fastest and most reliable cropping vegetables with seedlings appearing after 5 days and the crop ready after 6 weeks.

First spring harvest: sorrel for soup tonight
