Can we stay in suburbia?

Just wanted to share this very interesting article…Can We Stay in the Suburbs?

Good rolling…

The other day I finally told my housemates that, as I had bought the last three packets of toilet paper, it was one of their turns to do so. When I got home that night, I asked if they had bought any - and they both said no. I grumbled… and didn’t happen to go into the bathroom for the next three hours or so. That must have killed them, because when I did, this is what I found:

My first question was “did you buy recycled paper?”. And they both had. Good on them.

Spraying for freedom!

I had lots of plans for the garden today, but unfortunately we are being assaulted by fierce cold winds at the moment. We managed to re-pot our lovely new trees, and also to spray some possum deterrent around some sacrificial basil and tomato plants. We already have ‘the cage’, and we were going to build another one as we need more room for our ever-expanding potted vege garden, but I suggested we try this first, as it will be a lot less hassle than building another cage and having to get into it every time we want to harvest anything.

So, we shall see how our sacrificial plants fare over the next week, and if the possum gives them a miss, we’ll go crazy potting out all our poor tomato seedlings that are getting sick of their little pots. I’m hopeful that it will work, as my poor cat, Gobbolino, who usually loves the balcony (where we sprayed today) was hesitant to even go out there at all.
