I should probably put all the garden talk the Gardening Australia thread but it’s not getting much traffic other than my posts
If bowling for soup wrote 1985 today with the same time gap it'd be about 2005. So someone made that song.
If ya'll need to take a moment I dont blame you.
Which pre-minced or -chopped ginger is the least ass? Maybe I should Nutribullet some fresh stuff and freeze it? Just for use in smoothies. Any wisdom?
I feel like I’m leaving it a bit late if I want to sow sugar pumpkins. I just wonder if I should take more physical work on because the initial filling and moving of the pots is gruelling and risks injury…
I just need something to do right now that engages me without urgency and gently keeps me moving.
If I were physically able and it was safe to I would be doing physical work or taking walks/going for runs just to destress.
Hm. I could get a punnet of cherry tomatoes for their seeds but I would have to order the mini pumpkin seeds and I still haven’t worked out what to do around theft prevention. I could ask someone to get it for me and they’re happy to but I hate adding to someone else’s plate.
I’ve decided that if I get stuck I can borrow some of the pvc pipes from the cat enclosure to serve as stakes. Since I haven’t been using it. They’re UV resistant and can still be used after the zucchini are finished fruiting, and if not I can just get more pipes.
I think it's ok to plant late as the seasons seem to be extended now.
Just try it. 🙂
