That is the beauty of terracotta, makes it a great surface to grow mosses and orchids on, because water permeates it to feed the plants. Not so good to grow plants in, because of the same process, unless they like a bit of dry.
Take care km, my breathing never really came back after the PE, but so long as I take things gently it doesn't get in the way. And keep on with the rivaroxiban. I do not want another of those things!
Vegie mix delivered yesterday, so I am all set for weekend planting. The local vegie shop had a tray of heritage tomatoes - very expensive - but I picked up three, a huge red, a green, and a yellow, and as I cut them for eating the seed is going onto a paper towel. The lovely man at the shop said he grew these last year and the harvest was wonderful, so I am optimistic, though I might need another bag of potting mix. And I was gifted another well grown tomato plant by a neighbour, that one I think I will put into the ground as a back up in case my potted ones are a bit mean with their fruiting. Sometimes the vines dislike having their roots restrained, so we shall see.
The arborist came yesterday to take off another layer of the feijoas, and he skirted them beautifully for me, so now I can reach underneath with my hoe to pull out the beastly cape ivy and the tradescantia, which had been reveling in the dark. When that is done I am pondering a couple of pots with pumpkin seedlings to run riot in that new space, they would do rather well, and I do eat a lot of pumpkin these days! I'd rather like a couple of those orange wrinkly ones we used to grow in my Blenheim garden...
