Melbourne

I realised the big fruit were probably taxing the plants and that might be why they were dropping flowers. So I finally harvested them.

One is beginning to rot from the end though, one is turning yellow so maybe kind of sun tanned, and I still don’t know if they’ve turned bitter/toxic or are safe to eat. I also dropped one on the floor and broke the skin -_-

I still need more potting mix to plant the tiny variety of pumpkins but Big Green Shed charges $25 to deliver 2 bags… wondering if there’s a good time to ask someone to pick it up. Another flower came up from the small variety so they are really stressed and need to be planted out.

The bird water kept running dry and I finally spotted a hole in the foil pan… I’ve given them a new one. Also the pet water dispenser I ordered came a bit cracked in the mail and I don’t really have another spot so I filled it for outside cats.

I left washing in overnight so have just rewashed that. Melbcat was sick this morning on the doona cover and the carpet so I’ve got some more washing to do.

She’s in her favourite bed by the window after soaking up some sun. I think at some point I’m going to sneakily get her with an anti nausea pill a few hours before dinner to ensure it kicks in.
