Colin PurringtonWhen I visit Europe I'm always the guy excitedly pointing out community gardens to fellow travelers on the bus. They never care. Some day I need to book a local guide to show me around and teach me some gardening slang in French or German. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#allotment</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travel</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#europe</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityGarden</a>

foundseedThird spaces are gathering spots that are not homes, or work. public parks. community rec centers. libraries. spaces that ask nothing of those who visit. during the first civil rights movement (and all historical insurgencies), third spaces were critical for organizing and community building. ever since then, the colonial state and corporations have been cutting into those third spaces more explicitly.<a href="https://spore.social/tags/ThirdSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThirdSpace</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityGarden</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/guerrillaGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guerrillaGardening</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/pdx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdx</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/ChinookJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChinookJustice</a>

Tinker ☀️Went to the community garden with the kids to do some annual maintenance and help install some accessible raised gardens. These are high enough that you can plant without stooping so low to the ground. It also allows wheelchair users to roll up to them and plant without having to get out of their chair.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/solarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarPunk</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutualAid</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/communityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communityGarden</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a>

Colin PurringtonIf anyone is considering polypropylene landscaping fabric for their vegetable garden, here's a visual of what happens. After just one season it begins to disintegrate, and shreds will be blown onto neighboring plots where they'll continue to break down into ever smaller pieces of plastic. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/weeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weeds</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/weeding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weeding</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastic</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/mulch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mulch</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microplastics</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityGarden</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/VegetableGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VegetableGardening</a>

Tinker ☀️Went to the annual seed swap that the local Master Gardeners put together at the beginning of each growing season.Free seeds. All of them.The library was there as well and gathered up all of the thousands and thousands of seeds that were not claimed so that they could put it in the seed library!Anyhow....A local Beekeeping group is offering a series of classes on beekeeping!!!I have an idea...You know how we have community gardens? You can claim a plot and grow in the garden even if you don't have a lawn?!What if...What if we had COMMUNITY APIARIES?!?!?!How cool would that bee?<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/solarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarPunk</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/communityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communityGarden</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/communityApiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communityApiary</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutualAid</a>

elizardInspired by Caitlin Ffrench's book Gathering Colour, I planted indigo in my <a href="https://phire.place/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityGarden</a> plot this year. I can't be arsed to deal with an indigo vat in our apartment, so I experimented with fresh leaf indigo dyeing. Some things I learned:1. Salt & whole leaves mashed into the fabric (the shawls at each end) yielded bluer tones; blender slurry with cold water & salt (the scarves in the middle & the yarn) gave greener tones.(1/2)<a href="https://phire.place/tags/naturaldyeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturaldyeing</a> <a href="https://phire.place/tags/indigo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indigo</a>

Tinker ☀️Potatoes are chitted.Planted them.It's late in the year, so we'll see if they grow fast enough to do anything or if this just serves as research and practice.(Note: These potatoes had enough sprouts to cut them and get more plants. I decided not to do that here as I don't want to have to worry about rot. Next year I'll probably do that though)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/solarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarPunk</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/communityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communityGarden</a>
