Seasol spray and some supermarket parsley acquired.
I might divide it to plant in a row spreading along the rectangular pot rather than leaving it in one tightly packed clump. Fingers crossed it doesn’t traumatise the roots too badly
Edit: Wait. This is meant to be sprayed on the leaves so I don’t want to use it. The leaves are the edible part and also Melbcat might lick it off the leaves
Edit 2: Apparently you’re not supposed to use in on leaves that will be in direct sunlight as it can make them burn. I take pains to put them in direct sunlight as they need it
Season is made from seaweed - specifically kelp. Rich in minerals, trace elements and collagen. Probably won't hurt her and she might actually like it. Ask your vet on your next visit. You can spray it on then apply plain water an hour or so later as a spray to dilute the concentration too.
You can apply seasol directly to soil, but I would dilute it to the colour of very weak black tea before doing that. Easy to overdo it when applied to the soil. Have used it for years. I usually alternate between Seasol and Charlie carp for my plants to get a good range of nutrients complementing each other, but I'm not sure Charlie Carp would be good for a senior cat (tho she'd probably like it even more than Seasol).

Today was tough. I imagine Tuesday and Wednesday will be tougher before I leave for PAX 😭
Just did my taxes and feel like the Medicare Levy i'm paying this year is huge! Feel like maybe it's time to bite the bullet and start looking into private health insurance plans?
I'm not sure about now but it used to make sense to get it because you were paying the same as a basic plan anyway. I ran with the "I'm just getting this to avoid the Medicare levy" nib plan for many years which used to be the cheapest.
Yeah I think now some of the plans may work out to be a bit cheaper than paying the levy! I guess if I get one with decent extras that may be useful

I split the parsley pot into four small bunches and planted them out in a row. But now wondering if I should have done eight to spread it out sideways as well as longways. Being as the clusters looked like a collection of small individual plants and didn’t look like they’d spread out on their own. But that would mean more root trauma and transplant shock?
I can answer a few basic questions based on something I’ve grown or done before but I’m still learning.
Also hoping my fingernail doesn’t get infected from the potting mix. (I previously accidentally pulled it back so it bled.) I treated it at the time with Betadine but forgot about it and dug in the potting mix with my hands and no mask ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally took the new car on its first off road run, and was very impressed, had an absolute smashing time. Definitely needs some better suspension, but that'll have to wait until I've added and subtracted a few things.
Don’t know if anyone’s watching the aussies’ women cricket team playing but go Phoebe Litchfield!
