    we are all set. I have heaps of stuff left over from last year.. and the veggie garden is in full production. I am getting better at planning when to sew the seeds for a continuous supply of veggies.

    I move a lot during the night. But I have a crook hip and if I am motionless for too long it starts to ache.

    Do you mean a slat bed? Made with slats of wood? Is that what you guys call a platform bed? I have never had any other type of bed. DH made ours out of untreated local hardwood. We have an innerspring mattress on.

    Hugs I get the shame. We have had some awfully embarrassing to me public moments with my twins. I have had random strangers tell me off for being such a failure of a mother. If only they knew

    2 of my older sons cut their own hair. One just buzzes it all short. The other cuts the front, sides and top. He figures he cannot reach the back and cannot see the back so leaves it long. (It looks terrible - like some rock star from the 80s)

    I received bushfire relief money through a very similar card last summer. Though I was directly affected by a raging bushfire and everyone in my area received a card after lining up and registering for it at an bushfire evacuation centre

    Also bunching spring onions, at least in milder climates can be cut right at ground level and the plant will regrow
  11. Melissa in Australia
    I think bunching onions are the same as spring onions. Some spring onions multiply by deviding and forming new plants right beside the other. This can be referred to as bunching.

    Only a GP can give the blood results, but they will often just ring and give them.

    I can only speculate that my son didn't ask any questions. And the doctor just read the pathology report.

    well DS told me that the doctor said that he is all good, nothing wrong. I asked what about the black blood and he said the only thing wrong was low sugar, but it was still within healthy range. I said but what about the black blood and he said the doctor didn't mention it. I need a head banging smiley

    So I did another seed order. I ordered broccoli, cauliflower, 3 types of snow peas, 2 types of orange capsicum, miniorette lettuce, and purple top turnip

    Gardening, gardening and more gardening. I have been focusing intently on gardening since last March. I discipline myself to watch at least 3 YouTube gardening things every evening. I try to spend a Min of 2 hours a day in the gardens. And try to keep all my daydreaming on gardening I guess it is a kind of meditation.

    I answered as well so if you don't want international votes I voted I won't be rushing, at the moment I am in one of the very few safe countries. Yes I will get it eventually, no I don't think the risk is greater. I will hold off vaccination because of living in such a safe country hoping that it will save someone else in a country that needs it way sooner than me

    I am amazed that the parsnip seeds came up after 15 years. they are one seed that needs to be very fresh I have some variety of leek that forms bulbs at the end of summer. I just plant out the bulbs in autumn and by winter I have giant leeks. I don't know what the name of the variety is. I grew it form seed 20 years ago and have had leeks ever since.

    for a while we had painted stones. DD painted the name of each thing on the stone. it worked. now I only label seeds. We can recognize most plants once they are growing

    I am goi g to put another seed order in as I just read some research that orange capsicum can help prevent macular degeneration (spelling). It runs in dh family
  22. Melissa in Australia
    I bought some seeds a few weeks ago. mostly some more lettuce, 3 different types of purple carrots, some kol rabi as I have never grown it or even tasted it, or even seen it in a shop, but all the YouTube market garden shows I watch grow it all the time and I am thinking I may be missing out in something.

    The cow was due to go into heat in a few days. Ah well

    Dates are now over. The bull sort of charged dh this morni g. He had to jump a fence to get away from it. He sratight away loaded it onto the trailer and we just got back from returning it. DH has suggested maybe finding someone who does AI......

    Well he isn't the most communicative guy. And he doesn't live at home any more. Has his own house I haven't heard. I am hoping he will message me after he goes to the Dr this afternoon
