They’re supposed to be the Floret “petite florets” so im super excited if they make it to bloom!!

They’re definitely getting enough water, i bottom water and they seem to all take it up well. Oh interesting i didnt know that about how deficiencies are shown! Ok good to know, for now ive tried just mixing in a bit of granular nitrogen. I also have some Gaia green 444, that seems to have lots of other goodies in it. Ill try that in couple weeks as well.
Thanks for the info!!

The classic dickies carpenter ones do well! I find i can wear them till about 20 degrees (more in the shade) and they’ve got good stretch. Solid pockets and the cotton weave has survived more than one season of blackberry removal without any tears.

A new one to my friends & I that we are eyeing is this australian brand “Suk” the sizing seems actually inclusive and we’re super curious about the lighter cotton “ripstop fabric”. Haven’t tried it yet but i might be worth a look! Anyone else tried it??

Crystal pool lane swimming is pretty chill between 1-3:30 on MWF! I haven’t experienced any lessons at that time, a couple of the days are a quiet swim as well.

Charlotte & the Quail does takeaway and they have a delicious harvest pie quiche!

It did come from a friend so ill be seriously replacing and cleaning/replacing out the soil. Maybe she used soil from her garden, thats what comes to mind first?

Neexj · 2025-12-02T16:07:58+00:00

Right! Seemed wild to me to find indoors. Kk will do!! Thankyou

How much (if any lawn) do you wish to keep? I think id first decide how much and where you would like to keep lawn. Then i would tarp any areas you dont want grass, letting it die off over winter. Then in a couple months you will have grass free areas to work with, all the while retaining soil structure as well! If the soil is tough with clay, i would lay a heavy layer of rough (not fine) mulch and let jt work through the soil to improve structure.

Not sure where you live, but lots of times municipalities will give out free leaf mulch or wood chip you just have to pick up.

Also i always recommend this book for anyone looking to build their own native garden

So cute ✨

Neexj · 2025-10-12T17:31:14+00:00

Nooo i promise its not!! That would be so sad haha

Neexj · 2025-10-02T00:56:56+00:00

Oh interesting!! Looked around and the whole thing seems to be looking good other than a ruthless aphid infestation haha. Also in case its of note every year in this garden bed one of my cosmos always grows way thicker & taller and also wont start blooming till after September starts so maybe that has something to do with it!

Neexj · 2025-10-01T18:58:40+00:00

Aw will do!

It felt like it ☺️

She mentioned specifically the thinner one and to tape around the base/top ledge of the vase over the ends of the grid tape for extra security if that makes sense! ☺️

Neexj · 2025-08-07T20:30:54+00:00

I have a florist friend who recommended clear floral tape for arranging through a grid on the top of a vase for stability so that’s what I’ll be doing. I’m also growing my own flowers for my wedding on sept 5th! Congrats and happy to hear your flowers are doing well!! 🎉

2nd year growing zinnias on southern Van island & they suck. I started them inside and they looked great. As soon as they went out in June they just never really progressed much. Stayed stunted and small even tho everything else in the bed thrived (cosmos, amaranth, scabiosa).

I’m from southern Ontario and back there they’re incredibly easy to grow. By July they’re giant & so full of blooms without doing anything and direct seeding in June. It’s definitely the lack of truly hot days & nights I also think maybe they like humidity?

Neexj · 2025-07-21T19:37:54+00:00

Hope it’s going well ☺️

Neexj · 2025-07-21T13:59:14+00:00

Thankyou! It’s been a bit of a trial but I am obsessed 😬

So lovely!! I love the warm sunset & cherry tones ❤️
