Or at least what I call gardening.
I had a stash of Woolworth’s Discovery Garden seed packs that had yet to be opened and watered. I felt twinges of guilt every time I’ve walked past them these last few weeks and I finally gave purpose to that guilt over the weekend.
A friend had posted a photo of how lush her repotted seedlings were looking this week and it was just the nudge I needed to give my seeds life.
It is soothing, isn’t it? Doing something with your free time that doesn’t involve screens, I mean.
Time passed as I contentedly opened cartons, watered soil packs, potted them and then embedded my seeds.
I hope I haven’t left it too late.
Let’s see what grows, shall we?
Not all of my original seedlings survived the last few weeks of negligence but I’ve repotted those that have. Remembering that water restrictions are currently being enforced in New South Wales, I’m planning to water the repotted plants with the remains of our water bottles at the end of each day as we enter the house. Hope it’ll be enough water for them.
