This is probably just going to be dog and garden photos…
Lately, I’ve been playing around with knotwork, trying to untangle how to make the lines do swirly cool things.

A slightly odd liminal space…

Excuse me, sir, you appear to be in wrong seat…

Today I’ve planted more things and attempted to seed harvest from the very large patty pan squash from last week. I tried this a few weeks ago, and accidentally made a smell that evacuated the house. The smell startled my dog. Fingers crossed this goes better!

I’ve been with Luke since 1999. Sometimes people ask me, “How does one build a relationship that can withstand the trials and tribulation of life?”…

It’s all about effective communication.

I went away for a weekend, and came home to find this monster of a patty pan squash. Wild. I have no idea what the squiggly bits are on it, I’ll have to do some research. Also, a row of carrots has sprouted!

A rainbow lorikeet, spotted this morning while walking to the markets :)

A pretty little mushroom spotted in my garden this morning. A reverse google image search tells me it might be Parasola auricoma? I love the smell of petrichor after a storm, but mushroom spotting is a very close second :)

Second weekend of staggered planting:

On the upside, anything that went into a punnet seems happy, and ai noticed the direct planted beans are growing.

On the downside, I don’t know if it was the sun or the make-do seed tape, but carrots/beetroots/raddish seem to have stalled.

It is hotter than a volcanic fart, but I sorted out the first week of February’s plantings today. I’m going to try and stagger it a bit, because 400 Brussell Sprouts at the same time seems like a mistake. Hopefully they’ll grow!

Whoops! I think I let this one get a little big! I found it hiding at the back of the plant. I think the vine might be towards the end of its season and I’ve just learned what powdery mildew is (dang it).

I think I’m going to try saving seeds from these two :)

Ordered seeds from The Diggers Club for February planting! I’m trying to work out a timed system, so that the food is spread out over the month… the maths is amusing…

Meanwhile, check out this crimson rosella snacking in my front yard :)

Today I learned this tree is a Cordyline australis! And apparently you are meant to actually give it a prune occasionally by encouraging the bottom leaves to come off. I think it probably needs a bit more, but it’s looking a bit better 🙂

This doggo has never been fed. Unloved. Starved. The saddest. Send help plz.

MORE GARDEN CRIMES!!!

This time, some critter had the nerve to leave the tomato skins after feasting on my garden.

How rude!

That being said, imagining the little criminal hands wrapped around a tomato, is kind of delightful. Must be a very happy (and full) possum.

A huge patty pan squash from my garden 🙂

Searching through my photos, I re-found this image, taken in December last year. A dreamy, floaty reflection, on glossy white tiles…

My first tomato has finally turned red! I’m not sure when to remove it from the vine, I’ll have to do some more research…

One of my Christmas presents was a book on monthly garden tasks - it’s delightful to be planning for the new year :)

Someone randomly left a shoe on a bin. I wish I’d angled this just a little better, but I’m still pretty pleased with it :)

Playing around with fonts for my new diary, and I am struck by how obstructionist B is. It is the worst letter.
