  Companion Planting - Enhancing...

  Companion planting is an age-old gardening technique that harnesses the natural relationships between plants to enhance growth, improve flavor, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Whether practiced by indigenous farmers through the Three Sisters method or by modern organic gardeners, this approach emphasizes balance and biodiversity in the garden. 
    
  At its core, companion planting is about understanding how plants interact with each other and their environment. Some plants release chemicals that deter pests, while others attract pollinators or beneficial insects. Certain crops improve soil conditions by fixing nitrogen or suppressing weeds. When planted together strategically, these plants create a mutually beneficial ecosystem that promotes healthier growth and increased yields. 
    
  Beyond the practical benefits, companion planting enhances the flavors of many fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Gardeners have long observed that basil planted near tomatoes intensifies their taste, while marigolds deter nematodes that can damage plant roots. These small yet powerful interactions reveal the intricate relationships that exist within nature and how we can use them to our advantage.

  Notes from an Island

  Tove Jansson, Alexander Chee

  From a renowned artist and writer, a deeply personal nature journal that includes sketches from her romantic partner, artist Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä. In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island's flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson's work, most famously in her bestselling novel The Summer Book and her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, Moomin. Tove's signature spare, quirky prose, and Tooti's subtle ink washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty, a chronicle of living peacefully in nature and observing the island’s ecology and character. Notes from an Island is both a work of artistic collaboration and an homage to the deep love the two women shared. One feels as if Jansson’s journal, with Tooti’s sketches tucked inside, has been unearthed like a treasure from under a pile of old quilts in the back of their rustic cabin.Includes a companion PDF of images from the print edition.
