15.01.2022 Chickens! Great guide from the good Milkwood people -

14.01.2022 Although I’ve written and illustrated 20 plant and gardening ethnobotanical titles in the past 8 years, and some have been popular in the gardening genre, I’ve ...never had I guess a recognisable profile or been ‘popular’. I’m told it’s my lack of social media consistency and doing zero marketing but I’ve just plodded along with my research and work with plants because, Community gardening and ethnobotanical research are my priorities. I just don’t have the time for anything else. Everyone is more interested in plants and gardening these days and that’s a good thing! Anyway thank you to everyone who is supporting my work and it means I’ll have the resources to give more of my time to my community. #whencommunitygardens See more

14.01.2022 Ahhh the last of my broccoli for the season! Leadership BROCCOLI (Brassica oleracea var. italica) POSSIBLE POWERS Broccoli will help you turn opportunities into growth. It will increase luck, help with health improvements and physical gains. If you need to step up to new responsibilities, then this veggie will give you the strength and insight needed to accomplish what has been offered to you. ... HEALTH NOTES Strengthens the immune system, maintains a healthy heart, assists in digestion, good for skin health, protection from the development of cataracts and macular degeneration and aids the body in fighting cancers. GARDENING NOTES Grown best in cold and temperate zones, sow in mid-summer through to late spring in these places. In warm climates sow late summer to autumn. Broccoli will need to be planted in a different bed each year and it requires a sunny spot with a well-drained soil which will benefit from a nitrogen fertiliser. Harvest before the broccoli head begins to loosen and first flowers appear. MAGICKAL CORRESPONDENCES Uses: profit, strength, finances, good luck, protection Deities: Zeus, Jupiter Celestial: Jupiter, The Moon Astrological Sign: Libra, Gemini . . . . . #plantbased #gardeningjournal #greenwitchgardening #gardenlife #permaculturegarden #ethnobotany #plantpower #broccoli

12.01.2022 My first week as a weekly gardening columnist! @centralcoastnewspapers . . . #gardening #centralcoast #tomatoes #gardenlife

11.01.2022 From my gardening journal: DAFFODIL (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) This plants helps us connect or renew our faith both general and for situations and plans. They will lift optimism and boost endurance as well as assist with personal; growth and encourage awaking of all kinds. GARDENING NOTES... Although they dont do well in the tropics or very hot places, in other zones daffodil bulbs can be planted in autumn and flowers can be expected to appear in spring. Ensure regular liquid feeding, a rich friable soil and full sun, although they will tolerate semi-shade especially in warm areas. They can be grown in containers provided they have bright natural light and cut flowers have a vase life of 4 to 6 days. MAGICKAL CORRESPONDENCES Uses: new beginnings, self-esteem, luck, fertility, friendship Deities: Persephone, Hades, The Fates Celestial: Pluto Astrological Sign: Taurus SPELL This seven-day shower spell will renew your hope when you are challenged. Gather together seven daffodils and a yellow or orange vase. Arrange your flowers in the vase and place it in your bathroom. Each time you shower or bath, fill the cup with water and the petals of one flower and pour it over your head. Take the flower and lay it in the garden in the sunshine. Repeat each day. . . . #daffodils #greenwitchcraft #witch #plantbased #plantpower #plantsofinstagram #thelanguageofflowers #thelanguageofplants #gardenwitch #gardenjournal #plantmeanings #botanicalhistory #spells #plantcorrespondences #ethnobotany #daffodil

09.01.2022 From my new Oracle - #greenwitchoracle Rockpool Publishing and my garden this evening, all the energy and love of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Tomato will help bring love into your life along with protection and prosperity. ORACLE MEANINGS Although this fruit is considered a vegetable due to its culinary use, it is included in the fruit section of this oracle due to its energetic properties. Tomato will inspire and invite love into your life of all types and on all levels. A...lignment is signified as are chances for an increase in assets. Plans are liable to change, and you should be ready for an adaptation in this and other areas. Be careful to communicate effectively with your partner and close friends. GARDENING NOTES Plant from mid-autumn to mid-winter in tropical zones, late winter to early summer in temperate areas and in colder climates from mid-spring to early summer. They will need a full sun position with free-draining soil and ensure you rotate tomato crops every year so you are not growing them in the same bed two seasons in a row. Tomatoes are best left on the vine to fully ripen before harvest to ensure full flavour. MAGICKAL CORRESPONDENCES Uses: love, protection, prosperity, protection from evil, aphrodisiac Deities: Venus Celestial: Venus Astrological Sign: Libra SPELL Attract money into your home or business with this simple spell. Gather together a perfect green tomato, a green bowl, two green candles and lots of gold coins. Place the green tomato in the bowl and set on a shelf. Shower it gently with the coins and say, Money rain upon us now. Set a green candle on either side of the bowl and light. Leave candles until they burn out and leave tomato until it ripens. Eat when ripe. . . #greenwitch #gardeninglife #oracledeck #gardenwriters #gardenersofinstagram #rockpoolpublishing #CheralynDarcey #Cheralyn #magickalbotanical #ethnobotany See more

05.01.2022 the connections visually described of people, the earth and the heavens to plants in this ethnobotanical artwork is fascinating. explore! ~

01.01.2022 Sweet Potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) Slow growing but so worth the wait! Taking around 100 to 170 days harvest, you can plant seedlings or tubers and make sure you have plenty of drainage they hate wet feet! I grow mine in an old bathtub as the plants are rather invasive in the garden and as Im in a warm temperate zone, I can grow all year round. Check in with your zone and the best time to plant. If you are close to harvest time as per your variety, you will notice the leaves... will start yellowing. This is an indication that it is time to get dirty and dig those yummy potatoes up! Leave in full sun for a few hours to cure and remember, this is not a vegetable you should eat raw.
