If I had it as together as @NikiJabbour, even w/the snow piled up outside I'd be harvesting carrots and greens and more. In today's @nytimes, I wrote about her "vegetable-garden toolkit" of simple gear we all need to season-extend and pest-prevent. https://t.co/Kn5xNTkQDS
Compromise: declare that henceforth Fort Bragg is named after Billy Bragg, Fort Hood after Robin Hood, and remove one N and Fort Bening is named after Annette Bening.
I have admired the way @adrian_higgins of the @washingtonpost has covered the garden in this pandemic year, and we talked about it this week on my podcast/website -- about refuge, about hope, about letting IT take care of YOU for a change. https://t.co/DX2vENfGf1
Things in the garden (like this Astilboides) looked bad after Friday night's 29F snowstorm, and then much worse after a day of high wind and a second snowfall Saturday evening. My strategy: maybe just stop looking out the window in that direction. See no evil...
Apparently people are passionate about weeds, either pro or con. Loved the response to this latest @nytimes piece I wrote last week on one of my favorite subjects. https://t.co/b8FXo7pQka
This time of year -- any year, not just this unusual one -- you'll find me shopping in my garden, browsing for self-sowns and overgrowns...seedlings and divisions to move about and make the place hang together better. And free! https://t.co/0IOghniG4I
Nesting season is under way. It's not easy making a home for baby birds, eluding all the would-be predators. A wildlife biologist I admire offers a look inside the incredible drama (including birds who use shed snakeskins to ward off attackers!):

Thank you, @nytimes , for the chance to do a new series of how-to gardening articles, and for knowing your homebound readers everywhere need this support to tackle, and find refuge in, the spaces just outside the door. https://t.co/h3H6xXy3Gm
So glad that just before the world went mad I bought a copy of @LukasVolger 's START SIMPLE, which teaches us to cook with what we have. My podcast and interview transcript with Lukas: https://t.co/u30p7uFWKA
I‘m not a gardener but I’m fortunate to live with one and I love plants and flowers and adore this brilliant gardening guru and her beautifully written new book, just out. It’s useful and gorgeous, a great combination. https://t.co/9tnfBM32Ai
"Thoreau wrote that, 'God made ferns to show what he could do with leaves,' and I think we should make gardens of them to show the same."

Nonstop wildlife antics go on in my “snag” or wildlife tree. Why I try never to cut down dead or dying trees, but transform them.
