Unboxing ARCs of TENDING THE VINES (@timberpress , 2026) with help from my cat Cholula & my partners trusty camcorder. We wanted to go for a vintage-y look. I think words really do fail me when it comes to this project. Beyond grateful to see this collection come to fruition (and for it to be so thiqq? damn I really was writing down) & to be out in the world soon. So many elders shared stories with me, so many literary ancestors I am paying homage to, so much veneration for plant life that defies expectation and challenges the narrow lenses through which we talk about colonialism and Black life in the Western hemisphere. Another heartfelt thank you to @thejuliamallory for the corresponding collages and gorgeous cover. Forward 🌾

🌎 It’s Earth Week! 🌱 Today's tip is from COMPOST AFTER READING by Cassandra Marketos: ◊ DECOMPOSITION IS DESTINY. Every biological material on Earth will eventually decompose. No matter what biological materials you add, what order you add them in, how often you turn things or don’t, everything will decompose. There is absolutely nothing you can do to make that not happen. Let this embolden you to begin. Keep these general principles in mind and let them guide you as you build and nourish your first pile: Balance. Moisture. Airflow. You can repeat it to yourself like a little compost mantra. ◊ BALANCE. Your balance will come from maintaining a roughly 2-to-1 ratio of high-carbon to high-nitrogen materials. You can build your first pile using this ratio and then add new materials in roughly the same proportions. ◊ MOISTURE. Your moisture content will come from some of your materials themselves, as they break down. You will also need to add water to your pile with a hose from time to time. Rainfall and snow can also add moisture to a pile. ◊ AIRFLOW. Turning your compost will create airflow, as will the incorporation of bulkier and sturdier high-carbon materials, like thick wood chips and twigs, throughout the pile. The type of compost enclosure you choose should accommodate at least some aeration

🌎 It’s Earth Week! 🌱 Today's tip comes from a question asked in HOW CAN I HELP by Douglas W. Tallamy: Question: The monarchs on my milkweed keep disappearing. Just when they get to be big caterpillars, they disappear. I assume birds are eating them, but I thought monarch caterpillars tasted bad, so I’m confused. What is stealing my monarchs? Answer: No, birds aren’t eating your monarchs. Your monarch caterpillars are disappearing from your milkweed because they have finished growing and have crawled off to form their chrysalises some place away from their host plant. Monarchs, like most other Lepidoptera, distance themselves from their host plant before transforming to a chrysalis or pupa because they inherently “know” that their insect enemies, species such as predatory stink bugs, assassin bugs, tachinid flies, and many species of parasitoid wasps, search for their victims by first finding their host plant. If your monarchs are not on milkweed during the eight to twelve days of their chrysalis stage, they are more difficult to find. Caterpillars can travel a good distance before pupating. I once found a pipevine swallowtail chrysalis hanging from a picture frame in our living room. The pipevine that had produced that caterpillar was 75 feet away. That caterpillar had crawled off the pipevine, across our backyard, up our back deck stairs, through our open door, across the dining room, and up the wall to its final resting place, the bottom of a picture frame.

🌎 It’s Earth Week! 🌱 Today's tip is from THE CONTEMPORARY COTTAGE GARDEN by Pamela Hubbard: MEADOW GARDENS Unlike lawn grass, a meadow does not need chemicals or gas-guzzling mowers; it requires less maintenance and water. A meadow is inexpensive to create. Therefore, a meadow is perfect for replacing some of the lawn that covers your property. You don’t need to remove all of your lawn; leave some grassy areas for outdoor activities. I cut flower beds out of the lawn areas and use the remaining turfgrass as pathways between the beds. As well as being a perfect cottage garden, a meadow is the ultimate pollinator garden; it contains mainly native plants to support the native insect population. A diverse range of insects—from butterflies to beetles—thrives in my meadow.

🌎 It’s Earth Week! 🌱 All week long, we’ll be celebrating by sharing tips, insights, and inspiration straight from our books—simple ways to connect with the natural world and care for the places we call home. Follow along and join us as we dig in, learn, and grow together. Today we will be sharing a inspirational tip from GARDENS THAT CAN SAVE THE WORLD: Imagine if every garden was managed in a way that sustains life, becoming a miniature ecosystem in its own right. Gardens are close to our hearts, places where we love to be. But by changing our mindset, even just a little, we can create spaces that also welcome other creatures and help conserve – and even restore – precious resources. Consider it ‘pocket rewilding’, a place where the gardener becomes the keystone species, a trigger for a cascade of rich and wonderful life.
