Today has been really rough for anxiety. Everything is hard right now and it’s a real struggle to cope. I caved and napped but at least I saw some sun and that will help nudge me towards the daytime.
Melbcat gets her b shots tomorrow and I’m really nervous about learning to do it.
The alyssum seeds have a best before of August… guess I’ll see if they sprout. The nasturtium should be fine. There’s an abandoned patch of earth that’s technically mine that I could sow directly into but I kind of don’t want to go out there because of unprotected proximity to a violent crazy neighbour and cooked passers by.
I might sow them into a container until they’re stronger then either plant them fast when the coast seems clear - or use recycled containers as pots. Or see how well they fight it out with the invasive grass that’s taken over what little soil I have in the yard.
I would have preferred these be native plants… Just trying to get some pollinators and good bugs in here and using what I could easily get my hands on.
I might spritz the zucchini with very weak soapy water, maybe like a drop of natural dish detergent, then water it off tonight.
Best wishes Melbs. Sometimes a nap is just what you need, I hope you’re feeling a bit better
I wouldn’t plant them anywhere dodgy. I’d maybe look at putting them into an old ice cream tub, or for something a little more fancy (and smaller scale), I was thinking an old tin of monetta wafers would look fairly nice and shouldn’t degrade as much as plastics would (and since there’s no microplastics, you could probably plant it into the ground if you’d like)
That’s a good idea, I can definitely sort something out. I bought foil baking trays as a makeshift seed starter tray so could potentially even just thin them out and leave them in that

alyssum are lovely and so tough in Aussie conditions
like us I suppose 😘
Toughness is so important. The sunflowers didn’t come up so might need to be babied inside then planted (even though they hate being moved).
I wish I had more room

I only suggested it cause I bought a tin last week and am now thinking that the tin is just too nice to chuck straight in the bin
Yeah you used to see kitchen herbs in pretty coffee cans
