I have never grown perennials in pots before! This year I have Red Root, Rocky Mountain Columbine, Kinnikinnick, Spearmint, Blackberries, strawberries. I have no idea how to overwinter them. Still learning.
This woman is in 6a (Chicago) and I am in 6b, so pretty close. She goes over how to overwinter plants and fruit trees in pots. An overview of how she overwinters.
This is the best advice for starting an off grid tiny cabin that I have seen:
I had never heard of this - but she is really good!

Found a great online map of Lake Pend Oreille that shows depth and everything:
The Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia, 1619-1776 are the official minutes of the lower house of the colonial Virginia legislature. Throughout the colonial period, the legislature met frequently but irregularly, with sessions lasting from a few days to several weeks; in some years, the legislature did not meet at all.

This is from a post I saw by Saundra Stewart in Shawnee Genealogy, DNA and Gedmatch group
The Handbook of North American Indians is a series of edited scholarly and reference volumes in Native American studies, published by the Smithsonian Institution beginning in 1978
I noticed this in the Wikipedia article about Aaron Carapella - that he used these books as a reference to make his maps.
So I am trying to find where to read them. SO far no luck and they are 300 dollars each on eBay
WORK IN PROGRESS
I am trying to start a Mystery Photo Game. The key is the right hashtags on X. My #$%&* website that I love has a period in the middle.- memory.industries - And you can't have periods in hashtags., Grrr.
I guess it is unique enough to use without the period so the hashtag will be #memoryindustries on X if you would like to try to guess the mystery.
Search X/Twitter for my Mystery Photo Game #memoryindustries
First Mystery:
Here is a video of how to plant a new tree with a watering system. After about 2 years you would remove the tube - but just watch the video for how to do this!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UggqhnihmyY
I have to say the reason I am looking into this is that I have lost 3 trees in the last couple of years - new trees I tried to establish - and I don't think they got enough water so I am experimenting with better ways to start new trees. This one looks promising.
NOTE: I am just beginning to try to sort this out and it is really confusing with the different revisions which each have different re-print years. I may have made mistakes. Please comment if you see any. I'm sorting thru - Sept 2024 - and when I am done I will do a double check. So stay tuned to updates!
Since I am studying Virginia history I can't really get away from doing research on Matoaka even though there have been a thousand books written about her and I can't read them all. I am going to start by sorting out the first (?) book about her genealogy - below - there have been updates and different versions published since the original and I will sort that out here.
