The words 'wood', 'greenhouse' & assembly were mentioned, so I'm imagining something like this. #TheArchers

I hope so! Kids have enormous and expensive appetites for berries. I managed to supply a great deal of our raspberries for the past two months. I’ve got to plant at least another 40 strawberry plants to cover the cost of strawberries 😫

Definitely one of my favs! Randomly pops in my head and out of mouth.
My kids watch me come downstairs saying Can't have (fill in cereal) without a whole lot of milka or Your mother's cheatin' on me but mostly #1 on the charts .. Bell Biv Devoe.
Fortunately, I don't start milking the plants.

We talked about the difference between plants and animals in class on Monday. I was told the kids that plants aren’t mobile on their own, they need things like wind or water to move.

Everyday since, the same 3 year old has told me trees walk around at his house. I believe him 🌲🫶

Prospect cemetery. On my runs I see: off-leash dogs. Kids playing w parents. Folks reading in trunk of their SUV. Guy using water for plants to wash his car. Much speeding cut-through traffic on any open segment. But if we tried to direct bikes on the lone Eg-StClair connector asides the valleys...

Bureaucracy gone mad? Trees gone without notice.

At Elphinstone Primary School near Castlemaine: “They tried to pull out the kids' cabbages & strawberries from the kitchen garden.”

At Carisbrook Primary: Among the trees removed was a Lone Pine seeded from Gallipoli.

I was lucky enough to see Lūn (aka Lights) doing a secret show at one of the Home Depot garden centre sessions tonight 🤭🇨🇦🎧

She was fab, but I am too tired and old and achey to be standing in place anymore. ..BUT AT LEAST THEY GAVE OUT FREE TINY PLANTS AT THE END. SO I REGRET NOTHING 😆

One of the most obvious push polls I’ve seen in a while.

“Do you agree with this statement? ‘We should guarantee children are able to eat even if it means sometimes there are sandwiches filled with different kinds of animals’ shits’”? And then they say “80% of people think kids shouldn’t eat”
