Mint Spies<p>About four years ago, my mum handed me a plant, saying ominously, "This is your great-granny's aspidistra; it's about 110 years old. Don't kill it." I've lived in absolute fear of it ever since but - despite my best attempts - it hasn't died (yet) and is even growing some new leaves. Tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to re-pot it. There may be trouble ahead...<br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plants</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/houseplants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>houseplants</span></a></p>
Bec<p>A day of being near plants. First stop, the community garden for produce swap day, where I took peppermint cuttings and swapped for a cute little posey (posy?) in an old Vegemite jar. Also took two figs and some silverbeet, the latter of which I will add to the pea soup I'm making tomorrow. </p><p>I got to chat to a friend and meet some new people, and we tentatively discussed meeting up again socially soon (outside of the scheduled garden catch-ups).</p><p>Then dropped Dad home via Bunnings, where he bought some pots and other odds and ends, and I bought two punnets of English spinach seedlings and one of bok choy. </p><p>So this afternoon has been pulling up all the weeds (I mean, not ALL the weeds, of course – I have to leave some for another day or I'd be bored, right? Right) and planting out the seedlings in pots. Ideally I'd have them in raised beds but that's not possible just yet. We'll see what I can salvage/create as the year progresses. I figure if I can keep up the nutrients to them in these small pots they're going to be OK</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/gardeningAU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardeningAU</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bloomscrolling</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/saturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saturday</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plants</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ThingsILove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThingsILove</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityGarden</span></a></p>

The Chatty Gardener<p>I've been learning about using succulents as garden plants to cope with summer drought. (Given review copy, not paid.)</p><p>'The Dry Exotic Garden' by Paul Spracklin is a comprehensive look at a style of gardening he's been testing for decades. Advice from what he's learned ranges from design and propagation to plant choice and cultivation.</p><p>Full review on my blog: <a href="https://bit.ly/42pW3Lm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">bit.ly/42pW3Lm</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>📷 Paul Spracklin</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/cacti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cacti</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/succulents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>succulents</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/gardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardens</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plants</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GardenDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GardenDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlogPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlogPost</span></a></p>
