We've moved the blog! ✈

Hey Gardeners!

If you're looking for updates on plannt.ca development, general gardening tips, and other fun articles, you can now find us on Medium: https://plannt.medium.com

We will not be posting on this site going forward.

Why did we move?

  1. Medium is easier to use overall, and has a simpler interface (getting a bit tired of surprise buggy formatting behavior in my Blogger posts!).
  2. Medium has a mobile app, which helps a lot for times when I get a sudden idea for a blog post while on the go.
  3. Medium offers better exposure opportunities and ways to connect with other writers and publishers.
  4. Medium integrates more seamlessly with Twitter.
  5. We're able to get the "style" of blog that we're looking for.  We apologize for this blog's appearance 😵 we tried to make the provided templates work, but it's just not happening. 
  6. Better subdomain.  Our company name was available as a username- what more could you ask for?
We apologize for any inconvenience and, as always, we wish you a fruitful growing season! 🌱

Our mission: the Solarpunk future

Photo by  Christin Noelle  on  Unsplash Solarpunk is a subgenre of science fiction and a movement that envisions a hopeful, sustainable future with renewable energy, ecological harmony, and community-driven societies.

This can involve making changes to one's lifestyle and advocating for policies that promote sustainability, resilience, and social justice. Here are some examples of how individuals can help bring about the Solarpunk future: Embrace renewable energy : One of the main tenets of Solarpunk is the use of renewable e...

Gardening Guide: Thinning Seedlings 🌱

  Credit: @plannt_ca on Instagram Starting a garden from seed can be a great way to grow your own fruits and vegetables. However, as the seedlings begin to grow and mature, it is important to thin them out to ensure that the remaining seedlings have enough space to grow and thrive. What is thinning? When seedlings are first planted, they are usually sown very close together to guarantee that some of them germinate in an area.  Thinning is the process of removing some of the seedlings from a group to give the remaining seedlings more space to grow.   Depending on how you originally planted your seeds, this could be one of the more difficult gardening tasks you encounter throughout your entire season.  Thinning becomes more difficult if you planted multiple seeds in the same spot instead of spacing individual seeds at the manufacturer-recommended seed spacing distance. Also, regardless of your sowing method, thinning can be a laborious task for crops like beets or carr...

  Photo by  Joshua Pieterse  on  Unsplash Water is a precious resource, and when it comes to your food garden, it's essential to optimize its usage for the benefit of both your crops and the environment. By adopting smart watering techniques, you can ensure that your plants receive adequate moisture while minimizing water waste. In this post, we'll explore some tips and strategies to help you water your food garden easily and in a way that supports optimal growth while being mindful of sustainability. 1. Stay Regular Establish a regular watering schedule to maintain consistent moisture levels in your garden. Watering deeply and infrequently is more effective than frequent shallow watering because it encourages plant roots to grow deeper, making them more resilient to drought conditions.
