  1. What a full weekend. Thank goodness for work tomorrow, in some respects – it was a really great couple of days but I badly need some recharge quiet time!

    Yesterday was the Green Fair on the Square and I picked up my free plants, huzzah! Bumped into a friend, which was lovely. I also rode a bike to make a smoothie for Kid3 and then Dad and I went to a talk by a local elder about resilience and sustainability from an Indigenous perspective. That was super interesting and fascinating and I would have loved to stay and chat with her for hours.

    The rest of the day was errands and busyness. Today was a bit the same but with extra gardening (which was, of course, great). I planted the free plants and also the poor kangaroo paws that I believe have been waiting in their pots since last year 😬 Had to get quite aggressive with the trowel to break up some of the roots... hopefully they cope in the ground OK.

  5. I'm in! #NoMowMay 💚

    I've never been the guardian of a meadow before, so I was never able to participate directly. But since March of this year there is a meadow behind the house we live in I would like to see flourish 💚

    It's off to a great start, we have only mowed a pathway through, so I can get to the veggie patch and the tool shed. I want to keep a list of species I've identified and maybe make a little herbarium if I find the time!

  7. Squeee! As part of the Tree Festival, my little city is giving away free trees for the garden! I've submitted my application for five indigenous and locally grown trees – I did pause on the question, 'Do you have space in your garden for these trees?'

    Surely I can find a spot for them...

  11. "”Drill, Baby, Drill”, that mantra of destruction and extraction, is an intentional slap in the face to people who value land, life, health, and justice over corporate profits. Well, let’s raise a garden-gloved middle finger in return. I invite you, my friends, my neighbors, my readers, my fellow citizens into a new movement called Plant, Baby, Plant."

  15. Eeeee! A couple of years ago we had a single, uncharacteristically hot summer day of 42°C (like 110F or something, more or less) and it wiped out a bunch of plants and left others sunburnt and damaged. Understandably, the small patch of Corsican mint (that was growing in one section where the murdered lawn used to be) just turned up its toes and died...

    Or so I thought! Lookie here what's making a comeback!!

  19. It’s the 5th anniversary of the day that @joeyomahoney and I closed on our house. I felt hesitant about homeownership because of the responsibility and because I’d never taken a loan from a bank before. Now, I see it as an enormous privilege and an opportunity to create a microcosm of the world we’d like to see. #EdibleLandscape #NativePlants #Pollinators #RainwaterCollection #Solar #ChipDrop #KillYourLawn #gardening

  23. The storm front passing the coast to the north-west is going to mostly miss us, today, which means we've had long patches of welcome sunshine and I was able get out into the garden to lay down some lawn-killing cardboard. Pulled some weeds, said hello to the many bees and ladybirds and inspected the lilly pilly seeds to see if they're sprouting (they are).

    I've got two weeks to get through the last of my PhD edits, so instead of being out in the garden as I would like to be, I'm inside writing and revising. But I'm trying to persuade myself that this last push is worth it and once it's finished, the weather will be much more agreeable for gardening and I'll have zero weekend study/work commitments for the rest of the year. What a feeling.

  30. My neighbor cut his lawn a little while ago, and for the past 15 minutes he's been using a gas powered leaf blower to clean up the grass clippings. If he would have grabbed a rake or a broom, he would have been done a long time ago. #killyourlawn
