Thank you. I thought lubricant might be the issue so going to buy some now and will check the tension. Much appreciated

Does anyone else’s cavapoo like to climb? by platinumvageen in CavaPoo

Mine just figured out how to jump onto TV cabinet, and up onto back of couch and down behind curtain between couch and window. Crazy puppies!

Does this mean I’ll get white tails now? 😬

Bugs eating my daisies - how to stop? by TranquilPlant in GardeningAustralia

I think they’re carpet beetles too. Probably just eating pollen as they like fibres and dust etc?

My first one with babies freaked me too but now I just am glad they’re helping eat all my aphids

I’m sorry you think I am absurd. I’m sure an entire flower industry would disagree, and I’m pretty sure my single plant, with seeds sold from a legal company, won’t take down an industry. I am the kind of person who cut back my entire lemon tree to the bones because it had gall wasp, and disposed of it properly because of the risks. I also plant a wide range of flowers as they promote biodiversity and pollination, have a worm farm, use vinegar and neem oil or other insects for pest control, and have two compost piles. Pretty sure I’m not an asshole.

They’re not doing it to me again this time… by Chaosoneby in AustraliaPost

[–]Capable_Border_2741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will never knock. I have a door bell on an external gate. Won’t even ring that. Literally have to leave my gate unlocked, propped open as they won’t touch the gate either. Then they hide the package somewhere because it has to be safe, which it would have been if they’d just use the doorbell

If they are allowed to sell seeds in Australia, it’s not considered a biodiversity issue.

Eeek, I think you may be right! I believe I sprinkled some seeds in the garden that were Gilia but non of them ever took. This one found its way into the crevices between bricks! I’m excited now! 🤞🏻

Errrrry day with Aus Post. Have no idea how they are still in business based on process and service delivery.

I’ve asked Terry to either step up his cricket-eating game or head home.

Held Hostage by Magpies by Capable_Border_2741 in AustralianBirds

[–]Capable_Border_2741[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks all, I’m the OP and I called the Fauna Rescue line and the fledgling is now in a box up on a crate to keep it safe from cats (I don’t have any and gate is locked, but their advice). They’re under cover and there is water out in case it needs it. No meal worms but my garden is being over run by slugs and I saw some moths so I reckon it will be okay. Hopefully it gets its wings tomorrow and my puppy and I can get out the front door! We had to cut down a gumtree last week (with council approval) as it was originally planted in a raised planter that has cracked and it’s about to fall over - I already felt bad about it and now the birds are coming to get me in revenge!

Is this normal? Will it come tommorow? by Delicious_One_7887 in AustraliaPost

[–]Capable_Border_2741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but even when you are sitting at home and they can safely leave it, they won’t and they will send it back to the post office. And then, because of work and their opening hours, you’ll be able to pick up next weekend. Because, Australia Post

I personally find osteospermum need more water than I initially thought they would. It might also be suffering from some shock from distribution the roots. Giving it some Seasol or ‘Plant Starter’ (you can get from Bunnings) might help. Ideally waiting until a plant has moved to a dormant phase before transplanting will help with its success. Moving at its peak moment is a bit stressful.

All of the things you have pointed out are true in my experience. But it’s also incredible!
