I got in from work at 2.15 pm. I watered the garden, made a lamb stew from scratch, cleaned the kitchen, put all the rubbish out for the dustmen tomorrow, took a shower, and paid some bills. THEN I opened a beer and sat down. It was 3.25 pm. You can get a lot done when you put your mind to it.

Not a metaphor but also works pretty damn well as a metaphor

Social media screenshot saying If you want butterflies, you need to live with caterpillars I am not being metaphorical i work in a garden centre, stop buying plants to bring on the bees and butterflies and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that dares consume a single leaf You will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that turn into butterflies what are you doing!

I couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.

"I've lived in the neighborhood since November 2020, we bought a house," Ria Harracksingh, an Elite Minds parent and the school's director of operations, told Hell Gate. "So, when the garden started to really just be stonewalling us, it became not about the kids. For me, it became about, 'Hey, I pay a ton of property taxes. We pay a ton of income tax there. These dollars are going to this garden that won't even let me access it as an individual!' So it became pretty personal on that front, too."
"I think from their perspective, making noise and contacting everybody they can about this is going to speed things up," Jonathan Stead, the garden's community partnership coordinator, said. "If anything, it slowed things down because our limited time has gone to responding to them, responding to GreenThumb about accusations that they're making about us, and discussing the Post story. This is all time that we could have devoted to try and get this done." "At the beginning, we didn't even see…
"It wasn't an option for us to continue the status quo, which was, I guess, [Elite Minds teachers] had a key and would come and go as they pleased," he said. "For organizations, it's a separate process, and it's not something community gardens have to do, but we chose to do it. It's been an enormous amount of work to try to get the process put together." Stead told Hell Gate that Urban Meadow and GreenThumb have been trading a draft of the new policy back and forth, but that due to time constra…
"Misconceptions about what community gardens even are, fundamentally, are pretty rampant," Roopa Kalyanaraman Marcello, another Urban Meadow coordinator, mused. "People just don't know that community gardens are not parks. They are very different from a New York City park. When I'm in Urban Meadow, the playground is right next door, and I see the lovely Parks Department folks in there cleaning up, taking the trash out. And I'm just like, 'I wish you would come in here and do that!' But no one h…

It's Europe Day and perhaps fittingly I'm sitting in a sunny garden enjoying the bird song and re-reading this magisterial work by Neil MacGregor. It's about Germany, but it's also about the heart of Europe.
Huge recommend.

Want to know more about the large, colorful textiles in our Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden, created by artist #RachelHayes? We did, too! Former intern Nabiha Rahman did an in-depth interview with Hayes that really illuminates her work.

Sitting outside after work with a drink. How civilised 🍹

Snapshot of a garden in full leaf/bloom, sorrel and a (?) camellia tree to the left, grass in the middle with a willow tree behind, a fig tree in a pot and planter of nasturtiums front right, with Sparks nosing about. The sky is blue and it's the loveliest part of the day.

In my futile quest to get more people to make mosquito traps for their yards, I made a visual. Please share with friends and sneak into any presentation you're giving even if it's completely unrelated to mosquitoes. Mosquito Dunks contain Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis ("Bti"), a bacteria that is safe for everything except mosquito larvae, work for approximately 30 days, and are available at most garden centers and hardware stores in North America. Bti-containing powders and liquids are sold worldwide under different trade names. NB: the white lid helps you see mosquito larvae (if present it's time to add another dose of Bti). #mosquitoes #mosquito #ipm

I got up with my wife at 6.15 am, helped her get ready for work, and saw her off. Then, without even stopping for a coffee, I went to the garden and did some watering before the sun came out, and while it was still cool at only 61°. I then did a bunch of weeding.
