P.S., if you have mulched your yard, you will probably at some point get butt splinters. Sincerely, someone who currently has butt splinters.

Iāve heard āruttingā for sex but not ārootā for sex.
I think itās just British/Australian/NZ slang for having sex.

Now put in your best Australian accent and say āFancy a root?ā
Well the weekend is drawing to a close here. We just spent a lovely autumnal afternoon in the garden.
- repotted, fertilised and mulched the blueberry, chilli and dwarf lemon.
- applied fish emulsion to everything
- caterpillar hunted (and decided I needed to invest in a spray (probably neem oil based)
- found a worm

We donāt get one for Anzac Day here either in VIC.
Went to #thebiggreenshed today. Had a list of items Iād been adding to over the last fortnight. Managed to get everything I wanted except for some Gorilla Tape, had to go to a #thebigaquashed for that.
Potting mix, Cow manure, Blood n bone, pot hangers, another small long grey pot, a pot to match the Gerbera for my wife as an early Motherās Day present from me.

Been following along here while not so patiently waiting for my plant hangers to come. I need to research what plants to grow on my porch. I got some basil in my grocery delivery but it looks pretty pathetic, I donāt know if it will survive. I have the sprouting garlic but that will probably go in my small pots since itās not likely to actually grow.
I think Iāll get mint because I use it in summer a lot. So mint and basil but thatās all Iāve got so far. I grew 2 tomato plants from starts I bought last year but they only grew small fruit and didnāt really feel worth it. Wondering if I just want to get more painted roses and just do pretty things since the pots will be hanging and more visible this year.
I also have Brussels sprouts seeds but theyāre weird. I planted them in the fall when the seed place told me to and first something ate them, then I covered them with tulle netting and they grew again but so slowly that I stopped caring for them because I thought they were dead. So idk about those, plus idk when the right time to plant them is. I might have missed it.
Any sage advice for a tiny porch garden that gets some full sun for most of the afternoon?

If youāre not otherwise going to use those brussels sprouts seeds, you could plant them out and eat them as micro greens early on.

I want to grow them and I was hoping to get a real harvest of them since we eat tons of Brussels sprouts but I couldnāt get them to grow enough for even micro greens. Is it an ok time to plant them again? Iād be happy to try again and this time Iāll keep them covered from the beginning
I donāt know where you are, but where I am itās far too late as itās about to get hot. Can you do a fall crop in your area?
Iām near DC, itās supposed to get hot soon but itās been cool recently. I planted in the fall last time so Iāll give it a shot again this year
