It’s been a busy week! I’ve spent a lot of time in propagation, getting ready some new nursery offerings for the fall, did a horticultural analysis of a a property, worked the 326 Community Market, sent off a bunch of water chestnuts to new homes, plus I’ve been writing my fingers off (which is normal).
Let’s do a roundup of good stuff you can check out over the weekend.
You’ve probably noticed the new twitter feed in the sidebar. You can sign up to follow me here. When I come across something interesting, I post it. A lot of gardening info, plus some economics and other esoterica.

I love reading your articles! It's nice to read about another gardener having fun growing in Florida!
Thank you.
Hey David,
Have you ever seen this website? There are roots here I haven't seen anywhere else.

NICE
Thank you.
Hi David,
I read your article about water chestnuts on Mother Earth News and have a question about the tub you used to plant them in. How did you plug up the drainage hole so that it would hold water. And I am always happy to see various items being re-purposed for the garden.
All the best,
Keith
Welcome, Keith.
I used silicone to glue in a little piece of tile over the hole. A rubber stopper would work just as well, I imagine.
