“Place a fan on the plants periodically to mimic the wind.”
Purchased a couple of supplies in preparation for planting tomato seeds.
Thanks Donna for this treasure. I‘m still learning from it.

Tbh I will most likely read all the books recommended to me, but these are the 12 I‘ve absolutely committed to read this year. Thanks for the recommendations! I look forward to an interesting (looking at you out of left field bored gay werewolf) and challenging (looking at you Rilke) year. 😄 #12bookchallenge #12challenge
Thanks again @Soubhiville for encouragement
I‘m in a Care For Creation (environmental) group at church and we have committed to each reading one book about the environment each month. This was my January book. It was pretty dated, but I couldn‘t resist hearing what Ted Danson had to say.
@Soubhiville did this last year and it looked like fun so I‘m joining in this year. I‘ll take 6 recs from here and 6 from other socials. I can‘t guarantee consistency (may read a couple a month, may read one a month and then forget until end of year and scramble lol) but I will read all 12. So let the recs come in! What book have you loved that you think I should read this year - fiction and nonfiction alike - all recs welcome. 😃 #12challenge
This is a fascinating read with some great ideas, but it's hard not to be skeptical about anything “eco“ these days, with so much greenwashing going on. It seemed more like a beautiful dream than anything else, though the authors were involved in some big things like a Ford plant revamp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_River_Rouge_complex#Renova...
I was expecting a cookbook, and this has recipes in it, but only a few. Mostly it tries to persuade the reader to store and preserve lots of food (and other emergency supplies) and explains ways of doing so. It is simultaneously very specific to 2009 and still topical today. (The few times she mentions the possible coming flu pandemic… well.) I am somewhat persuaded. I appreciate the focus on not just providing for oneself, but one‘s community.
