Speaking of Christmas bells. We travel from Glen Innes to Grafton along the Gwydir and see them every year in the marshy lowland grass fields. Always stop to take photos. This is from late 2021 but we saw them late last year as well.
I've never understood mixing acid with alkali cancelling each other out. Either use one or the other. Vinegar is a fantastic all rounder. i'm a big fan of citrus based cleaners for grease and oil removal and cleaning the group head and shower screen of my espresso machine.
I experience earth worms surfacing during really heavy rains. I use a basin and a flat scrapper to gather them up and put them into my compost pit. The pit is covered to keep out the rain, so they are nice and dry with lots to eat.
I have been retired for the last 20 years and look after my partner and the household. I love gardening and making up gardening furniture from old pallets, exercising riding my bike and walking every couple of days to keep fit.
