"”Drill, Baby, Drill”, that mantra of destruction and extraction, is an intentional slap in the face to people who value land, life, health, and justice over corporate profits. Well, let’s raise a garden-gloved middle finger in return. I invite you, my friends, my neighbors, my readers, my fellow citizens into a new movement called Plant, Baby, Plant."

Eeeee! A couple of years ago we had a single, uncharacteristically hot summer day of 42°C (like 110F or something, more or less) and it wiped out a bunch of plants and left others sunburnt and damaged. Understandably, the small patch of Corsican mint (that was growing in one section where the murdered lawn used to be) just turned up its toes and died...

Or so I thought! Lookie here what's making a comeback!!

The storm front passing the coast to the north-west is going to mostly miss us, today, which means we've had long patches of welcome sunshine and I was able get out into the garden to lay down some lawn-killing cardboard. Pulled some weeds, said hello to the many bees and ladybirds and inspected the lilly pilly seeds to see if they're sprouting (they are).

I've got two weeks to get through the last of my PhD edits, so instead of being out in the garden as I would like to be, I'm inside writing and revising. But I'm trying to persuade myself that this last push is worth it and once it's finished, the weather will be much more agreeable for gardening and I'll have zero weekend study/work commitments for the rest of the year. What a feeling.
