Twitter: we are looking into decentralising Twitter.

The Fediverse: ha ha ha BLOCK

Welcome to all the new people from #India who have joined Masto.

If any of you are #gardeners and/or interested in plants etc, there are plenty more of us on the Fediverse you can talk to and with whom you can share photos.

Use the hashtags #Gardening #Plants and #Florespondence. This is the best way to to find other gardeners, plants people, people who grow food, etc :)

Interested? Please read this blogpost, which gives you all the information on the giveaway, including varieties available: http://www.gwenfarsgarden.info/2019/08/garlic-giveaway-2019.html, and links to information about growing garlic.

Because of postal restrictions, I have to limit the giveaway to the UK/EU. Limited availability, so first come, first served. This offer is available until 22nd September 2019.

Front garden #Florespondence

I have another #ThinkingUtopia idea.

Buckingham Palace: let's kick out the royals and turn it into a part homeless hostel and soup kitchen, but also for small enterprises. Like, a kitchen garden & small forest garden plus chickens, supplying the soup kitchen.

Maybe a repair cafe & bike shop, which also teaches maintenance skills. Plus small scale solar & wind power projects suitable for urban areas. Homeless people can take part, learn how, or not, as they prefer.

Could also have beekeeping, run cooking, practical skill (i.e. sewing) & gardening classes, and rent some rooms out to community groups.

There are more plants that flower in late winter than most people realise. Here's a pictorial blogpost offering a number of suggestions. You will find plants suitable for pots, as well as for gardens or allotments.

What would you like to see in our solarpunk future?

It's so easy to talk about what you don't want in the future, but harder to pin down what you do want. So my idea is simply to capture and share your ideas the kind of things you want to see in a solarpunk future.

You can read my post, which describes this in a bit more detail: https://cafe.sunbeam.city/~/GwenfarsGarden/what-does-a-solarpunk-future-look-like

Then feel free to start submitting your ideas, which I'll collate them and create a new post to inspire and share.

Request: if you post plant or plant-related (ie, plant and wildlife) toots & pics, could you hashtag them #plants? I just want to make sure I don't miss them.

Same with #gardening and garden-related toots & pics.

Am keen to know & build plant & gardening community.

Ta muchly! 🌱🌻🌳🌺

@jk that's one chilled out kitty
