Sweet Lupin Seeds?
I’ve been trying to find Lupinus Angustifolius seeds for a minute now, the ones used in Australia. They have very little alkaloids and do not need soaking.
Does anyone know of how to get seeds of the commercial sweet lupins found in Australia? In the US, just fyi.

Need some help with dying snow peas
My peas have been going strong for the last month but now they have multiple problems that I have no clue how to solve:
Leaves browning from the bottom up
Yellowing or greying at the top
I don’t know enough about peas to tell if all the pictures are due to the same problems, so i’ve just uploaded all of the problems i’ve observed.
I water them regularly. They get like 10 hours of sun, perched against the wall in my apartments balcony. I live in hardiness zone 10. We stopped getting that much rain and temps have gone up a bit (but not much). Temps are between 12-18c ATM.

Ecologists uncover significant ecological impact of hybrid grouper release through religious practices
Ecologists have identified significant ecological risks associated with the release of hybrid groupers into Hong Kong’s coastal waters, a practice often linked to religious ‘mercy release’ rituals. Their study highlights how the Tiger Grouper-Giant Grouper hybrid (TGGG), also known as the Sabah grouper, disrupts local marine ecosystems by exploiting unique ecological niches and potentially becoming a dominant predator. This research, the first to use advanced DNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet of this hybrid species, underscores the urgent need for public education and conservation measures to mitigate unintended ecological impacts.

Frosty Morn
Woke up to 27 degrees and a heavy frost. It has turned out to be a pretty sunny day with a high of 45. Except for stepping out briefly to get some shots, I’ve not been motivated to go out.Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
Mulberry use as fertilizer? Or other non-food uses?
Hi everyone!
In the spirit of permaculture, I am trying to make peace with my neighbor’s mulberry tree which drops literally thousands of fruits all over my roof and driveway every summer. Last year, I laid down tarps in an effort to reduce the mess and allow for ease of cleanup. I also attempted to make some sort of compost tea with the berries collected from the ground. I filled a 5 gallon bucket with berries and water and let it ferment for about 2 weeks, stirring daily until it smelled like manure. Then I diluted it and watered my plants with it. I’m not sure if it was of any benefit, really, and I don’t know enough about fertilizer to know when/ how it would be useful.
So my question is whether or not it’s worth using them in my garden in some capacity (composted, fermented liquid fertilizer, etc). And if so, how do I know when/ where to use them? I’ve heard with compost teas that different plants and parts of plants are beneficial as fertilizer at different stages of plant development. Can anyone point me towards some resources about this?
I eat the berries sometimes as well, but they are difficult to harvest and pretty “meh” flavorwise. I just don’t want all of the berries to go to waste rotting in my driveway and yard.
Thanks everyone!
