Today I ........

I put a trailer load of cow manure in a compost heap last year which has been fermenting nicely over the last 12 months... I shall put a few scoops of that soil around the seedlings when I plant them to give them a kick starter... Plants love poo

Yeah I'm pretty sure my bird of paradise plants are starved of nutrients and need to be pulled out of the pots and given a new mix to grow in. And also, despite apparently being fine about being in full sun, I've got a slightly bigger shade cloth so they don't get blitzed quite so much. Not quite getting the tropical vibe I was looking for from the anaemic looking foliage. March and April are the two hottest months. Even with all my efforts I can't spend time out there between 11am and 3pm.

Look forward to seeing your hedge progress.

OOoohhh that does sound like a whole lot of feels!! Glad to hear you're detangling from the ex (especially if you were both co-habitating post break up). Sads about leaving your childhood home, but freakin WOO-HOO!! on moving into your first new home!!!!!!

Hope the moving gods are with you (packing & unpacking sucks soooo much) but it'll be worth it.

Here's to you

Thanks for the well wishes! We weren't cohabiting post breakup (she moved back to her previous living arrangement, I moved back in with the parents) but I had a storage container full of furniture and stuff from when we had lived together. It's time to associate this stuff with some happier memories. The weekend moving was stressful, but the new place is really coming together and I'm loving it.

That's one of the upsides to moving. You get to sort your shit out and start fresh, and create your new home. Good for you.

All the best and good luck for the future 🏡

I did actually say the above but forgot to add it as a quote before, and it was left hovering mid-thread with people probably wondering (again) what I'm posting about, given my ability to post in the wrong threads!
So, continue loving your new life

In late October when I went to collect Ruby from Phnom Penh, I pinched a bit of branch from a frangipani near her pagoda. After drying it for two days I planted it in the garden, than later transferred it into a pot. Seems to be liking it! (before and after)
