Started some cuttings of correa, hakea (or maybe it’s an acacia?), crowea, silver banksia, and indigo (I think?) on the balcony to add to the guerilla gardening stash. Hoping that in two or three months, they’ll be ready to plant out in reserves and green strips, where they’ll provide food for local birds and insects.

Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.
No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.
This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.
So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.
I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Any fedizens out there make small metal yard signs for outdoor use that either can be pushed directly into the ground or can be screwed to a stake? I'm looking for something that says "Keep off lawn" or "Keep off landscaping" to put just inside the curb so motherfuckers stop driving through/parking on landscaping where I've planted native seeds. Maybe 8" diameter round or 6x9" rectangle?
+1 if they have tire-puncturing spikes.
Please boost!

My late-planted Kūmara need shade. They’ve frazzled in the sun we’ve had the last couple days.
I kept the frame off of a poly greenhouse when it’s poly expired, and it’s come in useful… shade!
I didn’t plant out all of my Kūmara vibes so I can give things another go if these don’t make it in the next couple of days 🌱
The blackbird who comes down to see what I’m doing every time I’m in the garden. I call him “old mate”. He’s a little camera shy and has his back to me here
My shade construction in progress - frames made up over the plants, and then weed mat pinned over the top and weighed down with bricks. Finally I pierced the corners with one of the metal tacks, and looped string around the frame to hold them tight.
Pictured from the front - all completed
