👏Posted @withregram • @burpeegardening 🌱 Before you pick flowers off your squash and cucumber plants to enjoy as blossoms, determine whether they’re male flowers (very thin stems) or female flowers (attached to the developing fruits).
While both are tasty, but removing the female flowers will reduce your plant’s yield. 😋
Posted @withregram • @greenhousegrdener 🌿 All About Brambles 🌿
**Flowering Time:**
Brambles, such as blackberries and raspberries, typically flower in late spring to early summer, around May to June. This timing can vary slightly based on your local climate.
**Toxicity and Safety Tips:**
Brambles are generally safe, but here are some important safety tips to keep in mind:
1. **Wear Protective Clothing:** Always wear gloves and long sleeves to protect against thorns.
2. **Identify Poisonous Look-Alikes:** Learn to distinguish between brambles and potentially harmful plants like poison ivy.
3. **Harvest with Care:** Use a small basket or container to avoid crushing the fruit and keep a first aid kit handy for minor scratches.
4. **Check for Pests:** Inspect the plants and fruit for pests or mold before consumption.
5. **Wash Thoroughly:** Always wash the berries thoroughly before eating to remove any dirt or pesticides.
6. **Beware of Allergies:** If you have a history of allergies, taste a small amount first to ensure you don’t react adversely.
7. **Supervise Children:** Keep a close eye on children to prevent them from getting scratched or ingesting unwashed berries.
Enjoy the bounty of your bramble harvest safely and make the most of these delicious berries in your recipes! 🌟

🍓some super tips here 😀Posted @withregram • @wildlybountifulgarden Want to know how to get the most out of your strawberry patch?
It’s not just about planting; it’s about planting smart!
Here’s how to ensure your strawberries thrive👇
1️⃣ **Mix It Up:** Plant a combination of June-bearing and everbearing (day-neutral) strawberries for a continuous harvest all season long.
2️⃣ **Keep Them Hydrated:** Regular watering is key, especially when the berries start to form.
3️⃣ **Mulch Matters:** Keep the weeds at bay and moisture in with a good layer of mulch. I like to use Strulch around my strawberries. As a bonus it helps keep slugs away.
4️⃣ **Harvest Often:** Pick ripe berries promptly to encourage more fruit production.
5️⃣ **Feed Them Well:** Give your strawberries a monthly feed to fuel their growth. I use a seaweed based feed from July onwards.
Follow these tips and watch your strawberries go from good to great! 🌟🍓

👏Posted @withregram • @greenhousegrdener Posted @withregram • @bricksnblooms As we head into summer, it is so important to water your plants properly so they develop a strong, healthy root system and grow beautiful foliage, flowers, and fruit. 🌸
Here’s what you need to know!🌸
1. Always water deeply and little less frequently. This will encourage plant roots to grow deeper into the soil and produce stronger, healthier plants.
2. Water the base of plants so it reaches the soil and roots where the plant needs it most.
3. And water your plants in the earlier part of the day so they water has a chance to evaporate before evening arrives when cooler temperatures set in. This will help prevent pest and disease problems which will keep your plants healthy!
A great way to water your plants is using a drip irrigation system. Have you set one up yet? They are really easy to assemble and use in the beds, hanging baskets, pots, and window boxes. The best part about using them is they water your plants where they need it most and are set and forget when used with a timer. Comment “drip irrigation” if you want some information about the ones I use with my planters. 🌸
👏Posted @withregram • @greenhousegrdener Posted @withregram • @wildlybountifulgarden ⚠️ Are you harvesting your basil right? 🍃
If you’re not seeing lush growth, you might be missing a few key steps.
Here’s how to do it correctly to ensure your basil keeps thriving👇
1️⃣ **Height Check:** Start pruning when your basil hits 6-8 inches tall.
2️⃣ **Timing is Everything :** Harvest early in the morning for the plumpest, freshest leaves.
3️⃣ **Above a Node:** Snip the stem with the upper leaves cluster just above a leaf node. See the two tiny leaves on each side? This is where two new stems will grow. This will help your plant become more full and bushy 🪴
4️⃣ **Top-Down Approach:** Always harvest from the top to keep your basil bushy and full.
5️⃣ **Leaf Technique:** If you only need a few leaves, pluck each leaf right at the base by the stem to encourage more growth.
6️⃣ **Bud Watch:** To keep your plant producing tasty leaves, remove flower buds as soon as they appear.
7️⃣ **One-Third Rule:** Never remove more than a third of your plant at one time.
By following these steps, especially cutting just above a leaf node, your basil will keep sprouting new leaves all season.
Don’t be shy; regular cutting encourages more leaves and prevents legginess. Keep up with regular pruning every week or two, and you’ll never run out of fresh basil!

THE LARGEST WILDLIFE BRIDGE IN THE WORLD 🦌 Share this video if you want to see more of these wildlife bridges all over the world!
This is the Zanderij Crailoo Nature Bridge in the Netherlands! Its position, stretching a half-mile over a busy highway and railroad, allows local wildlife to cross over safely! It is currently the world’s largest wildlife crossing, however, a bigger one is expected to be completed outside of Los Angeles, California in 2026.
It is estimated that over 350 million animals in the United States, and over 194 million birds and 29 million mammals across Europe are killed by traffic every YEAR! As our cities and countries become more densely populated, our roadways, waterways, and rail networks will need to continue to expand too; however, this CAN and MUST be done in a responsible, earth-conscious way.
Wildlife bridges have countless benefits for both animals and humans in that they help to restore migration paths for animals, resolve issues caused by habitat fragmentation, reconnect ecosystems, provide more green spaces to urbanised areas, and ultimately reduce human-wildlife collisions.
In addition to public awareness, our legislators have a huge part to play in ensuring that common-sense innovations and designs like these are integrated as non-negotiables into our society. In the US, for example, legislation on wildlife crossings has only recently been passed under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, whereby $350 million was set aside for the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program, which over five years will fund state and federal agencies and tribal nations to evaluate the need for/build wildlife crossings in their respective areas.
The footpath we took runs alongside the wildlife bridge, and we loved knowing that the diverse species in the area had their own safe space to cross, just like us!

😄👍Posted @withregram • @goinggreenmedia PAPER MADE FROM FALLEN LEAVES! 🍁
This invention is up for this year’s Young Inventors Prize at the @europeanpatentoffice #InventorAward | ad
Share this video if you are excited to see more innovations turning waste into something new
💚
The European Inventor Award is back! There are some incredible inventions up for this year’s award, which you can learn about on the @europeanpatentoffice’s page.
We are particularly excited about the Young Inventors Prize as @releafpaper is a finalist! Releaf is recyclable, doesn’t contribute to deforestation, and turns usually wasted leaves from urban areas into a renewable product.
Traditional paper mills have an immense ecological footprint. Scientist Valentyn created a solution for turning fallen leaves into paper. It revealed itself to be easily scalable, as cities already collect and dispose of thousands of tons of leaves every year!
Using leaves exclusively from urban areas, sidewalks, and roadways for paper production, Releaf helps avoid the negative impacts on soil and microorganisms that would come from collecting leaves out in nature. As well as paper, Releaf also creates sustainable packaging and bags, all of which can also be recycled in the standard paper waste stream!
Leave a 💚below if you hope to see this everywhere soon!
Make sure to tune into the European Inventor Award Ceremony on the 9th July!

👃Posted @withregram • @kewgardens Standing over 2 metres tall, the titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum) blooms for less than 24 hours and is the smelliest plant on Earth!
It stinks of rotting flesh to attract its pollinators who love to feed and breed on flesh and dung.

ENERGY FROM WAVES! 🌊 Share this video if you are excited by solutions like this!💙
A few weeks ago, we headed to the Port of Los Angeles to witness how waves are being turned into clean energy with @ecowavepower 🙌
Attaching to existing coastal infrastructure, Eco Wave Power’s metal floats move up and down with the waves, building pressure in hydraulic pistons that can then be stored in tanks without the need for a battery! The energy storage tanks and turbines all fit within a single shipping container that can remain close to the site, making it a cost-effective and easily transportable solution. This could be a game changer for coastal towns and cities, and is already in use in various ports across the globe!
Thank you Terry, Omar, and the whole @ecowavepower team for welcoming us to @altasea 💙
