Yes, I want to get a bale of hay to insulate inside against the plastic so the roots don’t cook, but also some bags of potting mix which I will mix with stuff.. What kind of manure do you reckon?

Fiddled around outside. Does anyone else hate agaves? My neighbour has planted scores of the bloody things which multiply like rabbits: nasty, spiky, hyperdermic, child-injuring monstrosities. Is there an agave attenuata hate club somewhere? I want to join it.

P.S. the top of the compost bin is open and, after it is filled up, that is where it will go – just like a very high potted plant.

Can hear thunder to the north so I have gone around spraying the dogs’ beds and their collars with some dog appeasing pheromone. Hopefully we get what I can see on the radar!

Enjoyed admiring my new concrete toadstools 😀

Watching repeats of Merlin and Dr Who.

basically just lots and lots of parsley because the summer lot has gone to seed and I love parsley with everything

they said showers, they said storms, but there’s nothing 🙁

:-bd

Yeah, probably it is a bit ambitious. Maybe I will just keep on fixing my old ones.. . My best shoes I have kept going for about twenty years now!

It completely died off but I’m pleased to report it has sent up some new shoots! Three dollars well spent! 😀

Dog poo on the verandah: not fun – especially when it’s diarrhoea and reeded decking. :-O

Maybe the Diggers club would also be interested?

Maybe someone at your State Museum could help direct you to a proper Seed Bank: I know they exist, I think there is possibly one in Australia.

hi

Hello Maggie2!
I recently issued an Order 66 to my husband to kill all couch grass.
I don’t like the stuff but zero/roundup is what we use. It’ll take a few goes to get the all the dregs that keep popping up.

I’m over it before it begins.

lol, it’s made of “durable plastics and a sturdy wooden handle – and won’t rust away EVER” :))

I saw a bandicoot today outside my kitchen window, digging, at half past lunchtime! So exciting! Usually I only just glimpse them very early or very late.

I’d like to do that, in fact I have some years, but my fruit trees lose their leaves entirely, and all the citrus curl up.
But there are a few grey clouds around today!
