Nothing beats when Gus comes and rests his head in your lap to demand cuddles actually

Harvested a massive strawb yesterday, and lots of herbs and veggies for a pasta sauce

Rounded it off with my own 1.2km to end the month and we’re at 93km and $1,290 raised for an amazing cause. Absolutely thrilled with that. Thank you 💞

Huge shout out to @arvethli.bsky.social (and Hiko) for logging 6km on my behalf today, I really appreciate it! 💖

Im gonna do another little walk this evening to get to a nice round number 🤞🏻

I did unfortunately have to cut down on my walking and take some rest days this last week, because something (not the walks) triggered my chronic illness to flare up.

This was a little disappointing for me, because I’m unable to meet my walking goal alone. I think Gus was a little relieved though!

I have had some absolutely amazing Sweet With Pride #PrideUnleashed walks this month. I am so grate that everyone smashed our fundraising goals!

$1,260 raised for the Burnett foundation! Amazing!

My neighbour (a dotterel minder and bird enthusiast) recommended this book and i managed to score one secondhand.

It has incredible detail about all the birds and photos! And “commonly mistaken for” info so you can be more certain you’ve identified correctly!

Gonna be so useful out here.

Weed whacking.

I did. It all. Mowing.

Had a great walk at Waimatuku today. Nothing like an nz west coast beach tbh

Hey #nzgardens do you have any recommendations for accessible ways of turning compost? One of these bins was left with our house and I just cannot get things turned in there with the big stick I have. Should I just donate it and get a tumbling one? Or is there some magic tool I should get?
October 9, 2025 at 8:44 AM
Thank you for the donations! We met our original goal AND our second goal!
💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

Gus and I are having a lot of fun checking out all the possible walks in our new neighbourhood. We may be reaching his energy limits tho because he is sleeping HARD

Siiiick first berry

My strawberries are going WILD too - both the ones I researched and planted "properly" and the ones I just shoved in a pot before I did any reading.

I haven't been posting much about it here, but I am having a whale of time growing some stuff. I'm a little early tbh, but I just got too excited. Every day it looks different!
October 2, 2025 at 8:48 AM
I don’t think that’s for you little buddy

Twinsies, except I forgot to get the blanket down before getting cat locked
September 14, 2025 at 8:51 AM
We managed to get a very expensive one ($900 retail) secondhand for $50. It’s MAGIC.

Everything I’ve read said less is more and let the runners fill it in over time but I want moar berries.

Sneaky Gus having a sniff, because he’s cute.

Okay #nzgardens I’m prepping my strawbs for the summer. How many should I put per planter?

At 2 per side / 4 per planter, they’re a comfortable 20cm apart. At 3 per side / 6 per planter, they’re only 15 cm apart.
