New winter sowing method without the fuss
What if the plastic-milk-jug method of winter sowing isn’t the only way—or even the best way—to get a jump start on the garden year? While other gardeners were cutting up containers and buying potting soil, I tried out a simpler, cheaper approach that might actually work better….
Container winter sowing: Why I was skeptical
If you’ve been hanging out in gardening spaces online in the last few ye

| Despite my grumpiness with certain books in the series, I was sorry to see the characters go after reading the series almost back-to-back. A fitting finale. | |

| Not my favorite in the series. The amnesia trope worked relatively well, but the book felt like 1.5 books, with a lot of war that ended on a cliffhanger at the end as the extra half book. Japan's isolationism was interesting but not really enough to ...more | |

| The jaunt through South America was very fun! I'm not sure if I'm impressed or turned off by the way the author has no compunction about causing major harm to significant named characters. The dragon interactions continue to be excellent. ...more | |

| This worked better as a short than a lot of the ones in these series, perhaps because getting the grumpy thread out of the way faster is always a plus for me. Earthquaked-in at a bakery was a fun twist on a favorite trope. | |

“How will you know if your pollinator population isn't up to par? If you find cucumbers fat at one end and skinny at the other, baby summer squash that are rotting at the blossom end, blackberries with only a few plump lobes, or lop-sided apples with a big side and a little side, your garden isn't seeing proper pollination. In some cases, inadequate pollination can be due to bad weather during bloom time, but if you notice problems, your first step should be to ensure that you're providing the proper habitat for wild pollen movers. (There's not much you can do about a cold spring.)”

“As you can probably tell by now, I'm a very hands-on incubationist, so the advice in this section will fly in the face of conventional wisdom. However, as long as you keep the humidity and temperature at the right levels using the tips in the last section, you can be as hands-on as you want with no ill effect. In fact, helping chicks when they need it will increase your hatch rates and decrease your angst as a chick struggles and then perishes in the shell. On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend helping chicks out of the shell unless all of the following criteria apply to you: You have some sort of critical care unit prepared. Chicks you help out of the shell are likely to be weak and will need some extra time in a warm spot where they can't be picked on. ”
