The garden centres seem to be giving/throwing away the wooden shelving their plants are shipped on. Signs locally recommend breaking up for kindling.
I find they are great internal support for walls, and have made a gate using one shelf(re-enforced with screws vs staples)…
If enough can be collected, it would be interesting to fence in the backyard at my fathers place…
Plants were doing well, been taking them inside when weather reports suggested it was going to be below 4C or frost warning… Night before last there was no frost warning but people woke to frost on their windshields… Being June 2nd at the time, and no warning, I expected everything was ’safe’ but… Everything was outside, so will be interesting to see what if anything/everything dies.
Dare one look at it more closely, it’s June! and still there is a risk of frost.. That leaves 3.5-4 months of growing time, with still less than ideal weather… The rest of that time we have messy through to terrible conditions… Any Australian ladies out there love Canada(or want to help me out(literally)) and want to ‘trade citizenship’ with the only legal method(marriage?).
Saw a few Ring-necked Pheasants in a field today, not all that common around here lately. Took a picture with old Canon S45, and crop’d it… I need telephoto…
