Spring is coming! Lots of garden motivation this week. Ready for september 1st (let me have this one, I know springs not real for afew weeks into September)

What all are you planting?

What all are you planting?

Agapanthas. Transplanting some succulents. Also need a fast growing (around about a metre height) shallow rooted (atleast not invasive roots) to make a sort of screen. Needs to be able to handle heat, but will have shelter from direct sun in heat of day andwill be well protected from the odd frost. Alls I can come up with is salvias which I love, but open to suggestions.

Herbs would be nice, it's next to the kitchen. I would love a rosmary hedge, but whenever I put rosmary in the ground it dies. Lots of people grow it successfully so I must be doing something wrong. Soil is between clay and sand, but as its going to be a raised bed I can add potting mix or whatever to improve it. Climate, needs drought tolerance.

Ugh, I've been sick with a virus (it's not Covid, don't worry) for five days now and I just want it to go. away. My fever broke today, but surprise, I now have a secondary ear infection! Hurray! Starting antibiotics for that today.

I had just gotten in a shipment of chicks for a project I was starting and wanted to handle them a lot so they were super friendly, and then I got sick and that went out the window, so now I'll have to see if I can win them over.

Bleck.

Most chickens seem to come around to food scraps when older.
