| Aruncus ‘Horatio’ has doubled in size this year and threatens to overshadow the shade garden. |
 |
| Baptisia ‘Solar Flare’ blooms after ‘Purple Smoke’ |
 |
| Jasmine ‘Fiona Sunrise’ should be happier now that we removed half of the ornamental grape that was threatening to take over. |
 |
| And it is blooming! |
 |
| Direvilla ‘Firefly’ – I replaced a flowering quince with this shrub last year and I absolutely love it. And so do the bees. That is what attracted me to it in the first place – it was covered with bee activity as the nursery. |
 |
| Clematis ‘Josephine’ wins the prize for longest blooming clematis. It is still going strong. |
 |
| Clematis ‘Samritan Jo’ |
 |
| The hydrangeas are just beginning. ‘Twist-n-Shout’ is one of the first to bloom |
 |
| Creeping Honeysuckle (Lonicera crassifolia) – Why did it take me so long to discover this plant? I have to thank my friend Linda Rectanus for sharing this with me. |
 |
| Rose ‘Red Eden’ has never looked this good. Of course it would as it has been threatened with eviction. This is a smaller sized climber and I wish I had known that when I planted it on the arbor over our garbage bins. I wish for something larger but this is difficult to ignore. |
 |
| Rose ‘Swany’ is huge. I will get a photo of the entire thing later. |

* By Stephen Newman, Ph.D. The use of non-specific immune stimulants under field conditions can impact the ability of shrimp to tolerate exposure to pathogens. However, their effectiveness is related to a number of variables, including but not limited to the level of exposure to a pathogen or pathogens and the stress that the animals are […]

There’s something about London that never fails to stir the imagination. Its skyline is a collage of centuries-old landmarks and sharp-edged modernity, much like the creative minds that call it home.

I am now drying the chives rather than composting. Thinking they would make good mulch for keeping pests away. What vegetables would you mulch these with?

Hi folks—I’m working on a long-term experiment combining urban permaculture, microcontroller tech, and AI observation in a single 29-foot garden bed.
The space is small (Central Coast California), but it’s packed with herbs, pollinator flowers, vertical growers like peas and cucumbers, and early-stage food production from beans, fennel, peppers, and blackberries. I’m using ESP32 boards and sensors to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and eventually light exposure. AI helps with logging, alerts, and livestream overlays.
The goal is to see how far a limited-space tech-driven system can go when permaculture thinking meets affordable automation.
For those curious, I’ve set up a livestream that runs daily. It’s not monetized—just a calm feed where you can watch the garden grow, observe pollinators come and go, or even catch a spider building a web in the early hours.
Since I’m posting my live stream here, I added the “self-promotion” flair so I don’t run afoul of any rules.

Would love feedback from others working with limited space, automation, or observational permaculture. This is a hobby project (not a content channel), but it’s evolving fast—and the plants seem to be running the show more than I am. 🌱
Let me know if anyone else is experimenting with sensor feedback loops, low-cost greenhouse control, or AI-driven journaling tools for garden management!
