Looking good! And you are learning about a whole new world of plants, this includes making mistakes to learn from

Life has been a lot to manage lately which is why the very casual attention to them :(

Mate, I have more energy and resources than you atm but I've never been able to grow carrots, not even stubby cultivars, so you're doing alright, don't let yourself be your worst enemy if you can help it :D

Same, carrots seem to be difficult

Thanks :) They do look like the picture so that’s good.

Tbh except for tiny pots, this weather has been perfect for just letting them manage themselves. All i've been doing is peeping at pots to make sure they're draining ok

I have ‘self watering’ pots and had to pull random mushrooms out.

I wish I had a real garden and the strength/motivation to work it

[–] 00Steve@aussie.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mushrooms are good

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m not about to test em

[–] 00Steve@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No i just meant that having mushrooms/mycellium in the soil is often a good thing for the plants :)
