That looks like “sky ominous” to me

Debating if I buy these bugs or if I might be able to keep up the manual removal until I can get some attractors flowering. I saw one ladybug in the wild so that’s promising but no more since.
I figured gardening would be a cheap hobby (and with bare bones minimum it can be) but I am absolutely getting a crash course in disease/pest management with the heirlooms and also the need for feeding.
Melbcat’s meds and vet appointments are quite expensive so I feel guilty for constantly spending money on something that doesn’t have a high return. It means I’m really spending for myself. It’s just one of the few hobbies I’m able to maintain these days.

You can just give up on the pumpkins this year. Last year most of my broccoli was enjoyed by the possums. Last year I had a shit crop of tomatos. One year hook worms ate through the stalk of all my beans. Sometimes the bugs win.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
They look strong for now and are beginning to put out female flowers which I hand pollinate. I just see one plant in particular is slammed and they’ve spread onto others now too.
I just want pumpkins :’(

If Melbcats needs med prioritise Melbcats.
Gardening can be an expensive and time consuming hobby, particularly for initial set up, but it is highly rewarding over the years as you watch things grow and is worth every penny in my opinion.
Just know that’s it’s also okay to write off a season and try again next time; you’ll still have the basic building blocks you have today and can add to it next time whilst learning from any mistakes.
It’s a lifetime hobby that spans years, it’s not about just one crop that’ll guarantee you instant results.
Think of it like learning to play guitar if you’re serious about it.
So sort your cat, do what you’re already doing with the aphids and next season plan to solve this in advance ❤️
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
There is enough for cat meds and care! I make sure of it. I’m just being tight, and frustrated that I’m not doing better. My circumstances keep sabotaging my goals.
I might get the eggs for a higher chance of them sticking around for long term pest control and maybe start planting the flower seeds I have in recycled containers to try and attract/keep the insects around.

I’ve had some luck with red cabbages - they seem to resist cabbage worms and splitting better than the green ones. I did plant them over the winter though as winter works better for broad beans & cabbages. Not summer crops imo. Brussels sprouts are good to plant now too, and are much easier to eat than a whole cabbage for just one person. Very donate-able too.
The nice thing about broad beans is that they dramatically improve the soil, AND they grow well over winter. Even if you don’t like eating them, they are donate-able and the soil improvement is well worth it to prepare for next year’s crops. The dry spent stalks do wunnderful things to compost too.
This is also the right time to plant leeks and onions/garlic to winter over and get a head start come Spring. The ground is still warm and you can add water as required at least for this month and next. After that it gets a bit cold. Onion thinnings are great as ‘spring onions’, I can’t tell the difference from the bought ones, and they’re much much fresher.
The pumpkin tribe has probably had its day for this summer - may not set much more fruit due to declining day length, and not enough sunshine/heat to ripen them. Imo these definitely need to be planted in spring.
I agree with Catfish about carrots - only bother with for specialty ones that you can’t buy. Lotsa work, needs very good, very deep soil and even then the crop is small. The foliage is very pretty though - makes a nice border for a flower bed.melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I planted snow peas for the nitrogen fixing because my friend’s family eat salad and the sowing time on the pack was appropriate, how are they over autumn and winter?
Would love to plant Brussels sprouts and leeks but I’m already kind of running out of space

I still remember having a baby robot for health class in Year 10. Just as I had fallen asleep, I got woken up again. Makes me feel for people who don’t get mat leave around the world and are forced to go to work or resign from their jobs.

So what do you do if you find an airtag in the middle of a sports field? Leave it there, or take and leave in your letterbox or something…?

It’s designed to be found so I guess it will find its way home?

I’ve been getting these videos recommended to me on Rednote of women packing cute lingerie. I’ve finally cracked where they’re getting them from to list for myself. Taobao must be the Chinese name for Alibaba, and there’s more on there again than Alibaba or Aliexpress

Does anyone know a good word processing shareware/freeware program? I don’t want to give microsoft any more oxygen than I have to. Needs to be able to hold some fairly large files. Compatible with pdf a plus.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ve tried open office, Google docs, libre Office… I’ve always seemed to have issues with compatibility when someone opens my file (saved as a DOCX by one of these programs) in Ms Word. Paragraphs will be misaligned, fonts are different, headings not recognised etc… I’ve been using OnlyOffice recently. I haven’t had any issues yet. Limited fonts though.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Open office
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 months ago
LibreOffice is probs the major alternative.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
+1 libreoffice is great. PowerPoint replacement is still clunky but word and excel replacements are great
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I second libre office. Depending on your needs you may want something more specialised if you’re working on something really big. Scrivener isn’t free but it’s made for writing things like research papers and novels.
There’s also a program called Joplin that’s a good evernote replacement

Got the melatonin… returned it for containing lactose ;-; I’m now checking out iHerb.
Not seeing ingredients on some… Lactose is used to bind stuff into pills so maybe the gel caps might be alright. The gummies I found have ingredients and while not great they might be tolerable.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 months ago
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thanks, they might potentially be alright
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I had a good idea. The garden isn’t producing much and probably won’t over winter but I also found a free doll pattern that can be copied via grid. (You can find printable ones too.) There are patterns for clothes.
If I had the energy maybe I could make a couple and donate them right before Xmas as kids presents.

Broccoli and lettuce are pretty easy and satisfying.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
worked hard again today, I’m covered in bruises from the past week doing physical stuff,
and it’s just been real weird with fam , it’s like I’m living with aliens. Barely a single word out of their mouths makes sense to me.
on a positive note doing all this physical work is giving me some core muscle strength and my posture has greatly improved!! Now to lose another 20 kilos and I’ll be feeling great. 🙂

On our morning walks we often spot other dogs taking their owners for a walk. Today I spotted a couple of moccasins (poodles?) so I held back a bit and then they all spotted each other. They didn’t bark. They squeaked. Which set old Weeezy off because he loves rough play with squeaky toys. I was amused they can make noise like that.
