Emoji inspiration: I call this part of the year (the time between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day) the “never-never times” because some things are open, others are closed, some people are working, a lot not, so fuck all gets done, and if you need anything besides food or groceries, you’re basically SOL


Happy International Day of Epidemic Preparedness!

    The grow bags arrived. I opened one up and it’s hooge. Potting mix is cheap but not at the amount I’d have to buy… gonna have to make some choices.

    I wish I had a proper big vegie garden and the ability to do heavier work

        I’m more looking at the $5 25L bags of cheap ‘vegetable’ potting mix due to price and being able to lug the bags.

        Problem is if I want to fill 4 of the 20 gallon growing containers that’s between 12-14 bags. ($60-70)

        Not counting the second variety of pumpkins I’m hoping to have as well

        The obvious answer is not to have so many plants or use smaller containers but I’m being weirdly stubborn about not keeping them all
