Too cold to garden… almost…
The seedlings are doing well. It looks like the frangipani seeds are germinating now, their wings are starting to lift off the soil and some are leaning to the side. The lavender and candytuft also look pretty decent and growing happily.
I need to get trimming on the tomato plants. I think there are too many leaves so I’m going to take to the lateral shoots soon. I would do it tonight, but it’s been rather cold, and I’m too comfy under the blanket. It’s also been a very wet week, rain every day, good for the plants and the water level in the dams, but not very conducive to spending too much time on the balcony.
I’m spending more time reading gardening articles and trying to find some winter flowering plants that’s compatible with the gardenias than actually doing any gardening.
Which reminds me, I found an interesting little water saving device, Dripstick.com.au, it’s a drip watering system that looks decent and looks like it’s affordable. On ebay.com.au, it’s selling for $24.95 with $9.50 shipping. If I ever go away for an extended time again, I’ll get a few of those for the gardenias.
