Top 9 on Instagram

News Articles /

More and more people seem to be questioning the time they spend on their various social media channels. The exodus of my friends from Facebook has been noticeable, most of them heading to Bluesky—although those who come back to report say the plant-centric groups there aren’t yet what they are on Facebook. This is why leaving any of them would be hard for me, because it’s all about the plants and the plant people.

The core group of blogs I read is still relatively strong. Thankfully. And I can still waste plenty of time on Instagram, although I’m frustrated by the algorithms thinking they know more about what I want to see than I do. 
In past years  feed would have been filled by now with people who’d ran the stats and were sharing their Top 9 posts of the year, but I haven’t seen even one this year! So, I thought I’d be the first. Afterall I am a very consistent—if late to the party—adopter of these things…
My nine squares (based on “likes” from my Instagram followers) are:
1. My garden, the peeling bark of Arctostaphylos x ‘Austin Griffiths’ with an Agave parryi ‘JC Raulston’
2. A much-photographed vignette in the Indianola, Washington, garden of Nancy Heckler
3. My garden, blooming Mahonia x media ‘Charity’
4. My garden, ice on a NoID Cholla during last January’s horrible storm
5. Jurrasic garden beauty from the Vancouver, Washington, garden of Laura and Charlie Heldreth, @thehumminggardener
6. A gorgeous tree fern (Dicksonia antarctica) in Jeff Fairchild’s Portland garden
7. My garden, the blooms of Billbergia nutans
8. My garden, the view across the front garden from the driveway
9. A shot I couldn’t resist taking at Portland Nursery. We’d just come out of the coldest week on record here in 30-some years, so naturally their plants were under protection and the tables were empty–but the shot pretty much summed up how I (and many others) were feeling about winter

Permaculture design software

News Articles /

I was looking for some permaculture design software and came across an archived post from this subreddit, and i just wanted to share what I found in my search. Although there has yet to be a dedicated software developed specifically for permaculture design (that I’m aware of) our good friend and amazing teacher Andrew Millison has a great technique to achieve what most people would be trying to achieve with a design software. He uses a website app called scribble maps to overlay a basic design on satellite view, then he takes that finished draft image and drops it in Procreate to hand draw over it to fill in the details and add artistic flair.
