It’s October and the maggies are singing.
As the weather warms up what do you have planned for your landscape, pots, patch, window box - or even the lone houseplant/cactus in your apartment?

I’ve impulsively sowed some Lebanese zucchini seeds into paper cups (no seed trays) and picked some large-ish pots up off the kerb for when they get bigger. I don’t have the stakes yet but this counts as doing something.
I’ve also collected some soil samples for testing and will be sending them off when I get a chance to get to the post office.
It’s unlikely I’ll be using these soil patches due to intruder cats and invasive couch grass that I don’t have the strength to dig out, but just wanted to know whether it theoretically could have been safe to grow in.
