Matters vegetable

Perth got some decent rain today. Excellent timing; I had earlier ridden over to Better Pets and Gardens store [3 kilometres] to get another sack of potting mix and some seedlings. The mix was so I could change the soil in my miniature rose's pot and attempt to transplant a jacaranda seedling which had taken root in there. It's doing fine at the moment while it is under two inches high but this relationship wouldn't work, long term. I've given it its own pot in the hope it will survive so I can bonsai it.

The seedlings are two punnets of English spinach, which has gone into the big tub currently holding a grevillea seedling, eventually to be planted out, a rose plant which I scrounged from a nearby vacant lot before the developers did the scour it of all life thing, and a small cactus. I hope they make it as I'm tired of paying $2 per bag in the supermarket. Also got some dwarf beans and mixed lettuce which may have to take their chances in the garden as I'm out of pot space for them. I was tempted by the "four for a cheaper price" deal but probably should have stuck with just the spinach. Lettuce does ok if it survives the snails, but I don't have a good track record with beans.

That's about it for Sunday.
