“Place a fan on the plants periodically to mimic the wind.”
Purchased a couple of supplies in preparation for planting tomato seeds.
Thanks Donna for this treasure. I‘m still learning from it.

UwannaPublishme It‘s been awhile and I forgot all about this book. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So happy to see you here again, Nichole! Glad you‘re having fun in your garden. Are you still at the same address? Missed you! ❤️ 2w
Princess-Kingofkings @UwannaPublishme It has been too long ~ yes, I‘m still in Michigan. Thanks 💗 2w
Crazeedi Glad you're back! I have tomato and pepper seeds popping! 2w
Princess-Kingofkings @Crazeedi oh, how I was hoping to “chat” with you again! I‘m late to the gardening party this year but plan to get my tomato seeds started tomorrow. My commitment to the garden is for tomatoes and loofah this year. Thankfully, my husband will take on the rest. 2w

Tbh I will most likely read all the books recommended to me, but these are the 12 I‘ve absolutely committed to read this year. Thanks for the recommendations! I look forward to an interesting (looking at you out of left field bored gay werewolf) and challenging (looking at you Rilke) year. 😄 #12bookchallenge #12challenge
Thanks again @Soubhiville for encouragement

Cuilin Fabulous, 🍀 looking forward to your reviews. 2mo
Hooked_on_books Looks like you ended up with a great mix! I think this is a fun way to choose some books. 2mo
Soubhiville I hope you‘ll like them. Maybe be surprised by the ones you are uncertain about. 🙂 2mo

I‘m in a Care For Creation (environmental) group at church and we have committed to each reading one book about the environment each month. This was my January book. It was pretty dated, but I couldn‘t resist hearing what Ted Danson had to say.

@Soubhiville did this last year and it looked like fun so I‘m joining in this year. I‘ll take 6 recs from here and 6 from other socials. I can‘t guarantee consistency (may read a couple a month, may read one a month and then forget until end of year and scramble lol) but I will read all 12. So let the recs come in! What book have you loved that you think I should read this year - fiction and nonfiction alike - all recs welcome. 😃 #12challenge

Soubhiville Have you read this yet? If not OMG, one of my best of 23. 3mo
Eyelit @Soubhiville yes! So Good! I was almost tempted to get the special edition aardvark released this month, but ultimately decided against it 😁 3mo
Deblovestoread Our Fathers or The View on the Way Down by Rebecca Wait. Both excellent. 3mo

Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things | William McDonough, Michael Braungart

This is a fascinating read with some great ideas, but it's hard not to be skeptical about anything “eco“ these days, with so much greenwashing going on. It seemed more like a beautiful dream than anything else, though the authors were involved in some big things like a Ford plant revamp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_River_Rouge_complex#Renova...

willaful It was so tempting to fill the entire #BookSpinBingo board! -- but my books for the remaining characters are perfect for #WinterGames . I think those are also my last two #URC categories!

Faranae Nicely done! There's a lot of interesting efforts going on with the circular economy concept, but it's a systematic approach which means, well, we need buy in from a lot of people who are too short-sighted and selfish to buy in. sigh. 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4mo

I was expecting a cookbook, and this has recipes in it, but only a few. Mostly it tries to persuade the reader to store and preserve lots of food (and other emergency supplies) and explains ways of doing so. It is simultaneously very specific to 2009 and still topical today. (The few times she mentions the possible coming flu pandemic… well.) I am somewhat persuaded. I appreciate the focus on not just providing for oneself, but one‘s community.

The new sciences of chaos and complexity tell us that a system that is far from stable is a system ripe for change.
