Listening to the Voices in My Head

And sage, too.

Got some sage seedlings to replace the one that was destroyed by woolly aphids. Dumped all the potting soil out of the old one (shame too, as it look fresh an usable, but not taking chances of aphid eggs/larva being in it), put some news paper in the bottom of the planter, and re potted the seedlings.

Did the same with the thyme, but have them in smaller pots, to be hung out of reach of snails.

Used some SeaSol in all three newly re potted planters, and sprinkled in some animal safe snail pellets. Will head off to Bunnings t get some hooks to hang the thyme plants up. And *this* summer, when it gets too hot, I will bring them indoors.

So, I spent the day after pillaging doing some green pillaging. Hit up W.A. Salvage to take advantage of the 30% off everything, and got a new pot, two bags of potting mix (should have gotten 3, but will rectify that tomorrow) and two long rectangular pots. Then hit up Bunnings. Got one basil, one cilantro (aka oregano), lemongrass, cayenne peppers, chili pepper and coriander plants. And the crowning glory, a Tahitian Lime tree.

My hands smell of herbs and earth. :)
