It’s been pouring this morning and I’ve noticed that some of the tomatoes are leaning and needed support. As I mentioned in my last tomato post, I planed to use an old t-shirt to tie them. I like using them coz they’re chunky and soft, they won’t cut into the stem. Their stretchy nature will let the plant grow freely. Also, they’re free and can be used more than once. 11-Jul-2023

Finally built our herb spiral, which was a lot of lugging of big rocks but definitely worth it, so happy with how it turned out, I still need to get a few more herbs to plant up, and I'm going to eventually have them all in the coco liners (except mint, as it goes crazy) because they rot down but I'm leaving things in pots now so I can move them around to see where they thrive

Tips To Stay Safe During Garden DIY
Many people love to work in the garden. In recent times it has been found that people started working in the garden more due to its health benefits. Therefore, we decided it’s probably worthwhile to know some valuable safety tips that it’s good to keep in mind, to help you use your garden ladders and others safely.
Tumblr media
1. Be Careful With Power Tools
If you're using equipment like chainsaws, circular saws, grinders, and other garden machinery, there’s an honest chance that you are simply conscious of using it. But don’t be – overconfident as this might cause an accident! Regardless of how well you know your equipment, the most effective way to stay safe is to always treat them like you’re using them for the very first time and provide them the respect they deserve. Move them deliberately, and don’t leave them on an unstable surface, regardless of how briefly.
Most importantly – and here’s where most people stumble – don’t make any change to any power machinery unless you're sure it’s off and all moving parts have stopped.
2. Use Proper Working Kit
Doctors and hospitals are often found to serve reasonably as a standard consequence of machine misadventures. While treating the facility tool carefully is the primary step to avoiding these, it’s equally important to make sure that you’re properly dressed for the work, with the proper kit and clothing. Meaning regardless of how warm it's outside, don’t cut the lawn wearing flip flops, or soft sandals! Sturdy shoes are safest, like steel-capped boots.
Hard gloves are another essential piece of kit when working outdoors, even though there aren’t power tools involved. You’ll also need an honest set of safety glasses or goggles if you’re using strimmers or similar tools, as it’s not unprecedented for stones and other objects to fly up into the operator’s face.
3. Make Sure Your Workspace Is Clear
This is another good general rule for most DIY, but especially true for garden work. You should always need to have a clear space around you to ensure your safety and that of everyone else. This is especially important in the garden, given its usual role as a family space where pets and young children are prone to running and playing. If it is necessary, it is better to lock yourself out there temporarily, especially if you’re using particularly heavy equipment like ride-on mowers.
4. Check Your Ladder Is Safe Before Using
This is something we are used to saying a lot, but there’s a decent reason for that – it’s because it’s worth repeating! Regardless of how many times you’ve used your ladder before, you ought to always provide it another quick check before you employ it, just in case you identify something that may possibly make it unsafe.
Contrary to what many folks believe, falls from short heights can be even as dangerous as falls from longer ones. Before you step foot thereon, ensure that it’s sturdy and stable and that it can take your weight. You’ll get to move it to a special working surface if necessary, like a tough patio instead of soft ground. (That’s where our garden ladders are available handy, by the way – they use the third leg to stabilize themselves on soft ground like grass or mud, providing extra safety value and peace of mind.
Choose the Correct Ladder For Your Work
One of our top safety tips for working in the garden is to always make sure you’ve got the right equipment. You wouldn’t plan to mow the lawn wearing roller skates, so similarly, don’t attempt to jury rig just any ladder for the task at hand. It’s quite common for people to rest extension ladders against trees – or worse, hedges – while they’re performing on them, but ideally, these should be used on more plain or rough surfaces where they can be fully secured. Again, this is the place where garden ladders are worth their weight in gold! Similarly, ensure to keep your hips inside the guardrails at all times. A major proportion of injuries are right down to people leaning out too far away from their ladders!
If you need a good quality ladder, here is EQUAL which serves a wide variety of ladders at different heights such as multipurpose ladders, household ladders, telescopic ladders, scaffolding ladders, etc.

Yesterday I collected some wild lupine seeds from the side of the highway and I thought it's the perfect opportunity to prepare for the seed saving season by making seed envelopes 😂😂😂 Not only that I decided to make em, I also filmed it. Needless to say, I WAS HELLA BORED! So if you want to see how I make seed packets from recycled book, you're in luck! I guess this would also be perfect if you want to gift your seeds to family and friends.
Tumblr media
i. Step one, find an empty seed packet and carefully open it up.
Tumblr media
ii. Find a thin, sturdy, cardboard material. Cereal box would be perfect. Here I'm using sparkling water box. Trace the opened envelope and cut to make a sturdier guide.
Tumblr media
iii. Now find a book, newspaper, magazine, or whatever you want to use as a material for your envelope. Using the cardboard guide, outline the part you want to use, make sure to do it on the opposite side so the pen lines won't show. Cut.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
iv. Now you basically have an envelope. You just have to fold and glue. You can use regular glue but since I have double sided tape on hand, that's what I used. I just find it a tad bit cleaner.

v. Slap a label sticker on (if you have some) and put in your seeds. Don't forget to label and date.

Make sure you utilize this rainwater! Rain barrels, watering cans, and gardens that use rainwater are all amazing ideas! Rain barrels are a fairly easy DIY and pretty inexpensive. Enjoy this weather before it gets hot!
