Which Synthetic Food Colors Are Still Legal in U S Foods but Banned or Restricted Overseas?
Vivid color is one of the oldest quality cues of healthy food: ripe fruits look vibrant, baked bread has a golden hue, and consumers instinctively associate certain hues with freshness, flavor and even safety. However, because industrial processing often strips or dulls those natural pigments, […]

Permaculture on 3 m²
This may sound very naive to some of you or maybe even like a joke. But I am dead serious! 🙂
I was given 3 m² in a community city garden. Is there a way to plant a mini permaculture on this small space? And if not really how could I use the principles of permaculture on such a small space?
Greetings Lazló

Thoughts on microclover
Hi folks, I’ve been following the permaculture concept for only about a year, and have started making improvements to my lawn and surroundings. Still very new to this. I have patchy grass on heavy clay in central MN and I’m thinking about spreading some microclover seeds in the deader and further reaches of my lawn in the hopes that it will start to spread. Also hoping that the clover will break up the clay and get some organics into the ground so I could more easily add things in the following years.
What should I expect? Or know beforehand? Is this dumb lol? I know people here will have valuable input for someone in my position. TIA!

We’ll be at The Other Plant Sale next weekend!
Andrew
and I are going to be at next Saturday, May 24th. If you’ve never been to a T.O.P.S. event, this is the year to go! There will be over 60 different vendors with plants and plant related items, and it’s free to attend. More info here and at the end of this post.
I’ll have a few Upcycle and Plant creations on offer…Pyrrosia serpent $35
Andrew carved this serpent from a twig, it already resembled a snake, but he refined it.
He slithers across a bed of textured moss in an wooden, oval, bowl measuring 15″ long.
He is free to roam about though, as serpents do.
The fern is a Pyrrosia lingua, which grows by creeping rhizomes, you can see them here.
Volcano wanderer $25
One of Andrew’s carved figures wanders among active volcanoes (barnacles) that are spewing tillandsia, and a spent volcano (a limpet shell) that’s home to a small orchid, Platystele-repens (ovatilabia).

One of Andrew’s carved figures wanders among active volcanoes (barnacles) that are spewing tillandsia, and a spent volcano (a limpet shell) that’s home to a small orchid, Platystele-repens (ovatilabia).
None of these pieces are attached. The rusted metal circle (5″ wide) sits on a vintage metal Lily-Tulip Cup Corp holder (a paper cup that typically held a frozen desert).
The shells, figure and plants are all loose so you can rearrange them as you desire. This also makes it easier to soak the tillandsia and mist the orchid.
Agave marmorata dish planter $35
I can’t put together a group of containers without including a dish planter, the form just speaks to me.
This agave cluster is a mass of Agave marmorata, there’s no way they could be separated so I decided to celebrate them as a clump of spiky goodness. The dish is 11″ wide and with the base it’s about 12″ to the tip of the tallest spike.
The dish is held to the metal tube with a trio of powerful magnets.
Blue oil fern pickaxe $35
Another of my favorite Upcycle and Plant offerings, the pickaxe as planter. This time it’s planted up with a blue oil fern, Microsorum thailandicum.
The soil is contained in a metal pouch, the axe measures 17″ long.
Yellow spike towers (an Indio Metal Arts container) $35
I bought this container from at a function at McMenamins Edgefield several years ago. I’ve loved it, but it’s time to part with it. For this event I’ve rounded up a pair of yellow spiky plants: Agave Cornelius and Austrocephalocereus estevesii (12″ tall to the spikiest spike on the cactus).There are small drainage grooves around the bottom of each planting tower.
Spiky!
Aloe barberae (tree aloe) and planter $25
I’ve decided to part with this aloe and container from my personal collection. It needs someone who can help it achieve it’s full potential (a bigger container to start with). As currently planted container and plant measure 27″ tall.
It’s showing a little winter stress having been in my basement up until recently, but once outdoors it greens up and starts pushing out new growth.

Andrew () has over 20 pictures he’s bringing to the sale—some of which I wish could stay at home, but no, he’s intent on bringing them all—and they’ll all be on offer for $40 (we’ll be taking cash and Venmo only). These pictures are 4″ x 6″.
Consulting the bird
Crocodile & alligator ball game
Desert gardener watering plants
Here’s a short video he made showing the assortment of pictures he’ll have available…
And here are the details on the event, we hope to see you there!

Apple leaf curl
Hey all, our two apple trees have been suffering from some leaf curl and I was wondering if anyone had any guidance navigating possible causes and treatments. Seems like there’s a number of possible explanations. It doesn’t seem to be powdery mildew from what I can tell—no residue on the leaves.
Thanks!!
