bucket o rocks

Monday, 4 May 2026 @ 9:13pm

black bucket on dirt ground strewn with more gravel

All recent plans were thrown (weekend interruption was great though!). I was meant to show off the start of a plane but I haven’t gotten past the cube, so I’m showing off my gardening efforts for the day instead. My back and legs hurt. So many rocks, don’t even know where they all came from. I better be able to make a path or something when I pick them all up XD

floral experiment #2 and more hare-brained schemes

Friday, 1 May 2026 @ 11:29pm

nb: this is kind of in a thematic/narrative order not really a chronological one.

We hit up Bunnings over a couple more weekends to pick up more concrete for the chicken fence, and of course bought more plants and seeds (fortunately I had the bag notebook so we didn’t double up on anything except chicken and insect mix which was done deliberately).

On one of the trips we somewhat accidentally split up (on a previous trip I had seen a couple of paint swatches that made up my domain name and wanted them) so Eldest (who had come with us) ended up scuttling back and forth as messenger asking what seeds we had, and after finding (or not finding) his request and telling him I said the only “bad” thing about the notebook was no search function XD
