this one goes out to all the volunteer compost 🌱 sprouts 🌱. they always seem to give the most impressive growth, and certainly do better than any plant you intentionally grew. for us this year, it’s this purple lettuce. we are eager for her to bolt so we can plant fall lettuce in an edible bed!

CW: kofi blog: introduction to plant time Firm boundaries around time is a relatively new construction of a post-industrial society, mostly, but not entirely, due to trains, and the concept of time is not as immutable as colonists want you to think.

we are ready to take guests in the garden! we will be tending to the last remaining weeds, and planting lots and lots of sunflowers! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌱🌻🌻🌻🌻 #gardening #communityGarden #pnw #pdx #portland #volunteer

CW: Transphobe Olympics Okay so lemme get this straight: An actual IOF soldier directly responsible for the deaths of innocents is still allowed into the Olympics, for fear the exclusion would be too political. But if that SAME IOF soldier was TRANS? That's what would get her excluded?

A friend recently escaped Arizona and moved here. She got a car to help her get a job, then her car got stolen yesterday. She had it two days. Please show this to your local #pdx groups and reach out if you see this vehicle around. #portland #mutualAid #NEPDX

I kept seeing this "Ten Commandments" format, and I'd never heard of the original "Ten Commandments for Danes". I could hold an entire lecture on the deep, detrimental differences between these two lists...

it’s that time again! we’re getting ready for winter, and we need a few extra hands. anyone is welcome to keep us company, or help us with chores. we would love to share native flower seeds, late season harvest, and mulch with all of you. 🌱 #garden #pdx #communityGarden #volunteer #mulch #autumn

CW: PDX local event The Aldenwald Crop Swap and free market is still going strong! They will continue meeting until they are out of crops to give, and harvest season is still only just starting. There is discussion of a seed share and workshops during the off season.

CW: PDX local event Come make salve at SJAC and help fundraise to help our unhoused neighbors. Mask and wheelchair accessible. Tea and pastries and entertainment for kids provided. Sliding scale, bilingual. Take home your own salve! #mutualAid #pdx #diy

CW: Strawberry socks If you have one of those tule mesh bags, you can use them to protect your berries! Once the flowers have all been pollenated, gather the berry branches into the bag and draw closed with a double knot. Make sure it's secure but not restrictive to the branch itself. This method

We are growing more this year than we have in all previous years. We haven't been posting because we are currently in a very internal phase. Please enjoy the foundseed content standard: one meme and a few garden shots from our members. 🌱 #pdx #florespondence #gardening #guerillaGarden

This is the "Climate Stripes" chart depicting years below or above a certain temperature with shades of blue and red, respectively. I counted the stripes, and if you are younger than 30, you were not alive during a "blue year". Keep that in mind when you talk about younger generations, they don't

we’re getting some consistent open garden hours going! someone will be around on Fridays and Saturdays this month, tending to the garden, working on projects, and happy to answer questions or visit with neighbors. foundseed open garden hours are welcome to anyone, to come by, help out, donate, or

This is going to be my first talk. Of all the big tent movements taking hold, GSUS is so far the one that holds any water, imo. I really don’t consider foundseed “established” but here we are! Thurs 24th 5:00 PST https://meet.jit.si/mutualaidforUS #GeneralStrike #guerrillaGardening #MutualAid

As usual, our socials are quiet because the garden is busy. We're still managing to show up on most Friday afternoons. Not sure if we have the energy for a birthday party this year, we're doing some heavy lifting right now. So here's a 🌱 update! Happy fifth birthday, little

CW: NYT scatterplot nonsense so instead of doing anything useful, i took that scatterplot, flipped it upside down, and reversed the direction of the axis. while still not close to how i see things, it’s way more interesting and maybe closer to how most folks feel. #NYT #Ukraine #DOGE #DEI

the members want to meet up in the garden! our next open door socials are Thurs 27th and Fri 28th 3-5pm. these socials are not going to be garden work. seed swapping, harvesting, sowing, and, naturally, dreaming up what to do for spring. bring snacks and a jacket, and come meet some neighbors!

let's talk about the difference between peace and nonviolence. This is important to keep in mind, because these words have, for the longest time, been intentionally conflated. . #peace #nonviolence #nonviolentProtest #peacefulProtest #freepalestine #GlobalizeTheIntifada
