Planting gardens and uprooting fascism in the Deep South

An inclusive queer leftist friendly space for gardening, native plants, and permaculture in Louisiana

Fascists, racists, transphobes and Nazi punks FUCK OFF
The people in Louisiana turning in their neighbors on the ICE hotline absolutely would have turned in Anne Frank’s family to the Nazis

Hard freeze tonight! Everyone make sure you’ve got your plants covered

First time sorting carrot seeds out into packs instead of planting them by the handful

1. This takes forever
2. A wire mesh strainer (like for sifting powdered sugar) is perfect
3. This process actually smells delicious

Spending a winter evening sorting and bagging carrot seeds 🌱 This short and sweet variety does well here in South Louisiana! #seedsaving
My short and sweet carrots 🥕 planted this year should be ready to harvest soon. Here’s a carrot I kept in the ground overwinter from last year’s planting. Carrots are biennial, so instead of pulling up all my crop last year, I saved this one so it could go to seed. Soon we’ll have free carrots!

The seeds of River Oats are ready to be collected and distributed to spread Louisiana’s #nativeplants!

This decorative grass produces flat seed heads that provide a great food source for birds and its planting helps with soil erosion along rivers 🌱

DM me if you’d like a free pack sent your way!

How to help fight ICE’s Operation Swamp Sweep here in Louisiana

Everything listed here is recommended legal action and the bare minimum we can do. For everything else, we’re always happy to provide what support we can to local bail funds.

Another harvest of buttercrunch lettuce 🥬 this might be our last before the frost 🌱

This lovely little blue flower is one of Louisiana’s #nativeplants hairy clustervine. Related to our native morning glories that pop up all over, this one is frequently found in disturbed soils among stream beds or along roadsides 🌱

More edibles #nativeplants this morning! Violet wood sorrel makes lovely purple flowers and is rich in vitamin C. The entire plant is edible with a tart lemony flavor. A friend’s kid calls them “pickle weeds” for their flavor and they’re a favorite in tiny bouquets. 🌱

ICE is using faulty and biased face surveillance technology to go after people they suspect of being undocumented.

This is a direct threat to the fundamental rights of every individual and has no place in our cities.
ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

Did you know that you can take a one day online course and be approved to donate home grown food to food banks in Louisiana? Gardeners, please get certified and help your neighbors!

Good turnout yesterday at the No Kings Protests in Louisiana!

The dancing crawfish and band brought a very Louisiana flavor to the demonstration

I got some great advice from family: never post anything online you aren’t willing to read aloud later in a deposition.

So I can confidently say with my full chest- the Republican Party is run by white supremacist losers who feel no remorse for their bigotry

It’s officially fall y’all! It’s around this time every year that one of our #nativeplants Southern Saltmarsh Aster starts spreading out across our lawns and taking over fence lines as we slow down mowing with the incoming cool weather. I’m enjoying the little purple blooms while they last 🌱

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

The debate over the rights of citizens vs. non-citizens entirely misses the point when you look at the actual text of the Constitution and its later amendments. The Founding Fathers already answered this question, and did so in a way that should have spared us all of this wrangling and argument.

Noah is correct here with bigotry.

People are more comfortable labeling bigots are ignorant than immoral because labeling something immoral requires direct opposition which is uncomfortable.

Ignorance simply requires instruction to be fixed.
for various reasons we're more comfortable labeling people as unintelligent than evil, and so we tend to assume the first causes the second but again that's mostly backwards.

Caught a bumblebee on an Indian blanket flower, one of our most vibrantly colored #nativeplants! #bloomscrolling 🌱

This isn't the first time ICE has been caught on video using a child hostage because they don't have an arrest warrant.

ICE in Massachusetts used this same tactic on Rosane Ferreira De Oliveira in May during her arrest in Worchester.

Tievine, one of our #nativeplants, is going wild in the backyard. It’s one of several species of Morning Glory native to the Southeastern US. I’ll eventually need to clear it off my blackberries but it’s currently *for the pollinators* 🌱

As the president declares that he will designate ANTIFA a radical terrorist organization (again) - I’ll just leave this here.

Also the DOJ site took down their study showing white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”

Our Brazilian buttonbush attracts lots of pollinators but it can spread easily so we keep it contained in a raised bed. Today it was visited by a female pipevine swallowtail butterfly! 🦋 We have its larval host plant, pipevine, nearby so we will hopefully see the next generation! 🌱 #bloomscrolling

A reporter asked if Trump would order the removal of trans flags in DC. Trump says he wouldn't oppose it but says he could get around lawsuits by arguing it incites violence.

The reporter follows up by asking if he would label trans people as a domestic terror threat to ban the trans flag.
