Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

How big is your garden? I love the idea of growing my own veges but I tried it this year and couldn't get past my dislike of ants and spiders enough to actually bring much of it indoors.

It’s not very large and kind of oddly shaped, but the previous owner did nothing with it so it was all grass when we moved in. Each year I turn a bit more of it into planting space. I’m at the point I’m thinking of just wood chipping the rest of the lawn next autumn so I can plant anywhere from then on. Also bonus is I won’t have to mow it anymore.

Do you have any outdoor space for pots and planters? You could always just do fresh herbs which is nice to have on hand for cooking,

Yeah, I was gifted a raised garden made from a pallet but it only a week for the local wildlife to move in. Herbs are a good idea though, I should try that to ease back into it.
