Sorry this is super late. I’ve been busy and forgot to post at the same time as the frugal thread.

I also haven’t been able to do much gardening. The window boxes don’t hold much, I’m struggling with fatigue and the carrots I’m hoping would set seed are being eaten! Perhaps in future I’ll be able to do more.

Have you got any plans for your garden coming into spring?

I saw some largish plastic pots on the footpath yesterday and the remains of a bag of manure so went to check if they were still there… they were so I guess fair game?

Carrying the pots back sucked, felt like I was going to puke, and I don’t know what to plant. But not being able to do anything productive is making my brain eat itself.

Perhaps they might be big enough for individual vegie plants of something. Zucchini? Mini pumpkins? I don’t have any stakes or the seeds.

I think I’m going to push some spinach seeds in the gaps between the carrots. Perhaps pull the half eaten ones up to make room.
