Today, I spent half an hour tying the tomato plants down, gave them a slight trim, mixed in some compost, and fed them some worm wee that I acquired from work. Funnily enough, the worm wee is stored in repurposed tomato passata sauce bottles.

I transplanted some basil seedlings around the base and noticed two birds watching me suspiciously. I’m sure they are up to no good and have some evil plans to dig out these basil seedlings. Another big bonus with these stilt pots is that the rabbits don’t get into them and destroy everything.

I had a big black pot eaten away, and there was what looked like a rabbit burrow where the roots of a little fig tree should have been. I cannot believe that they ate the pot. I gave everything a nice watering with some Seasol solution, then sat back with a short black and admired these beautiful plants.

I decided to propagate some mint in the mini greenhouses. They have a nice aroma, are good in teas, and lots of insects don’t like them, especially mosquitoes, and they just look nice. I think I will plant them in repurposed yogurt tubs under the pot plants.
