Sunday Bits of Inspiration #91 (Eco Edition)

This week's gardening blurbs are all earth friendly, nature inspired reads. Fun to read or watch, inspirational, and informative. What have you done for your planet lately? ; )

Six nature based fall chore ideas. What to do, and what to leave till spring.

Fall fertilising, how and what to do for your shrubs, trees, perennials.

Bringing Bio-Diversity Back. I loved this read!

Edwina von gal - the future of landscaping. This short video was a lovely watch. Though a larger property than mine, by far, the ideas were able to be down-sized. I particularly like the little tower of twigs for the wee birds!

Not sure how I feel about this mini meadow in a rock bed, but I sure like the veggie bed idea. It is a lot like the chaos garden that I was growing ( is now all flowers, no veggies left). Feeds the bees and other pollinators.

I am posting this video here so that I, too, can look back on it in spring time. How to use your soil blockers! Use less plastic by making soil blocks to start your seeds. I got these soil blockers as a gift a few years ago but have yet to use them!

Seed collecting and saving. How to save your own seeds, it is just about time to start thinking about it, getting all your supplies together.

This amazingly cute greenhouse plan popped up in my Pinterest. If you have a handy person who can build this greenhouse, it is (7'x8') absolutely adorable.

Recipes that are just perfect for this time of year

Sour Cherry Pie Filling. My cherry bushes are only 2 feet tall, but I am already planning what to do with the cherries! If you have Evans, Romeo, Juliet (or any of the other Romance Cherries), you will love this recipe.

Delicious Raw Apple Cake. Apple season is here. Check out this yummy looking cake. I will be making this when I host the neighbourhood coffee klatch in a couple of weeks.

This Apple Bread looks just as good! Whichever one should I make?

Mediterranean Chopped Salad. Make it vegetarian, vegan, or add meat. This salad works for everyone.
