My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

Hi how is our friend @tonys

I know he mentioned that he had had a stroke in 2023. I haven’t heard anything of him for more than a year. I miss my old friend and hope he is ok. Please pass on my good wishes. He knows me as Meggle. I know @Glisten misses him too

Re: My Place

Hey @Shaz51 @Oaktree is Anne Deveson book new release or did you get from library?

I'd love to read that

What is Nik Nik @tyme - am I showing my age or lack of socialisation?

The Anne Deveson book is from years ago. I just ordered it from Dymocks. It’s the story of her son Jonathon who had schizophrenia.
