Gmail has apparently decided that newsletters migrating from Substack to other services (like Buttondown) is suspicious (similar metadata, new sender), and is now routing a bunch of them to my spam folder. YMMV, but it may be worth checking if you're not seeing newsletters you usually get.
Missed y'all while @shawndearn.bsky.social and I were planning/planting a bunch of new gardens! Here's a small taste 🌱 tbh, new plantings are always a bit anticlimactic - many of the bushes pictured will reach 10-20 meters tall within a few years. Fall planting is all about structure & ground cover.
Always happy to help any garden folks looking for a hand from a horticulturist. 🌱
Sleep, Creep, Then Leap: typically, perennials have a three-year growth process. Y1: Initial establishment with a focus on root development, Y2: gradual expansion with increased foliage and blooms, Y3: a vibrant flourish in the third year! Embrace the slow rewarding beauty of perennials. 🌱
