The end of a very long week has finally come and with it my birthday has arrived. All my gifts have been money – I guess people figure I am going to need it soon! Every day at the moment is full of uncertainty over resigning but also full of evidence that I have made the correct decision – it can get very confusing at times. With $26 of my birthday money I have treated myself to fifteen different types of seeds (bought online). They haven’t arrived yet but in the meantime this weekend I will get started on making my newspaper pots. Hopefully that should have all my Xmas presents sorted out as well. My first lot of Green Feast pea seedlings in their toilet rolls are ready to be planted out – will take some of them over to family as well. I have a scrunched up piece of paper in the bottom of each toilet roll that I gently take out as peas don’t like being transplanted. I also cut down one side of the toilet roll as the cardboard will take a while to break down and I don’t want my peas to be constrained. Having things growing gives one a nice feeling of achievement to ward off the resignation blues – it also provides food on the table and can make for relatively cheap gifts.
