I did it! I turned the vegetable beds over a little bit and planted lettuce, spinach, silverbeet, broccolini and baby cauliflower. I put the open veggie compost in a tub by the fence and added my OLD compost to a third, mostly empty raised bed. So far there has been zero possum activity, but that could change any day. I am on the edge of my seat, reader! Here’s hoping that I’ve managed some sort of a truce with them.
I’m sorry to hear of your diagnosis Pip. Chronic illnesses are so tough. As you say, by knowing you can manage it but it is still a lot to process. I am loving reading your emails about your life in Tassie and as someone who is struggling with her own “stuff”, I just love the soft gentle nuances you bring to my inbox. Take care of yourself lovely. Sending you much love ❤️
Finding out you have a chronic condition is a shit thing to hear, look after yourself and ask for help when you need it, physically and emotionally. Can’t wait to see what fruit trees you plant, cherries should grow well in your cool/cold climate too if you like them - i can just imagine a cherry pie in the oven! Take care, and thank you again for your written words, i really enjoy reading them
Oh Pip I have a chronic pain condition, I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I hope you do start listening to your body and working with it, it's the only way.
Well done on the veg patches, may you soon be harvesting all the deliciousness.
Love the quote from Vita, born at the spectacular Knole in Sevenoaks, just down the road from our house, you must come and visit one day😊
