Further progress on front garden! It's almost done now.

My paint tubes are now nicely stored alongside the rest of my everything :)

I've also hacked together a rough dirt sieve from skewers and metal wire, to remove branches and roots and such from soil before I reuse it for something else

Today, I've made a Gridfinity paint tube holder, for the cheap tubes of paint sold at Action (that still didn't have a place of storage here)

Invasive vine deletion in progress...

Hm. Which of these two is the Cybertruck?

The adopted strawberry plants seem pretty happy with their new home!

Cleared out some more invasive vines in the garden, and moved my flat greenhouse thingem to a new location! #gardening

Plants

The plant table is done and installed! Quite happy with the result, considering that it was a practice project and all the wood involved was crap 😄

I've also finally installed a garden hose box, because I am sick and tired of my garden hoses laying on the ground outside and getting damaged and needing replacement all the time (storing them inside is impractical because of frequent use and being wet)...

Progress picture of the plant table!

The promised pictures of yesterday's garage reorganization:

Yesterday's project was trying to finish my plant table - basically a large table that'll sit in front of the living room window, so I can put seedlings and such there so that they get a lot of sun.

It's made from some reused wood from old (no longer usable) shelving units, and some garbage-tier hardware store wood for the frame; the new hardware store wood is actually *worse* than the reused wood in many ways...

Anyway, I've almost finished it; I just had to wait for the glue to dry, then flipped it upside down, and now I still need paint the top... and then it's completed!

(It doesn't look particularly nice but that's okay - this is more a practice project than anything, to try out different techniques and see what works, and if something doesn't work, oh well - it's just a plant table anyway)

So, do I qualify for the #CarryShitOlympics yet?

You know those shaped-plastic blister packages that a lot of products are sold in, filling up your plastic waste bin? Here's an easy way to (partly) reuse them if you have a vegetable garden! All you need is scissors and some way to label things.

A lot of this style of packaging has large rectangular flat areas of plastic; almost always on the back of the package, sometimes areas on the front too. Find all of them and cut them out, so you're left with a stack of flat, rectangular(-ish) pieces of plastic.

Then just cut those rectangles into strips of about 5-10cm. They don't need to be cut nicely, they just serve as posts for your labels! Then either print labels and stick them on or, alternatively, write on them with a thin permanent marker.

Now you have tags for your plants, without needing to buy a bunch of new plastic ones!

Thanks, Plasma, not like I'm actively playing music *right now* or anything

Very normal and well-designed software
