Good day, gardeners! I hope this newsletter finds you healthy and well. Here’s some knowledge and inspiration I wanted to share with you.
I loved seeing these habitat piles on Gardenista. Whether a stack or some logs neatly arranged, it’s clever use of woody waste in the garden.
The NY Times discussed the pros and cons of tiny forests in a recent article.
This week at Ephemera Farm, I’m sowing calendula seed. This herb is a delightful autumn flower for us in the deep south. The petals are edible, and they can be used in cut flower arrangements. Sometimes if the weather is not too harsh, they can actually overwinter.
As always, thanks for welcoming me into your inbox each week to share what I’m learning about plants.
Cheers, and keep growing!
Dr. Jared
