One of the earliest set pumpkins is looking bigger and a few are yellowing… please hurry 🙏❄️💀

Realistically I know the cold is probably going to kill them and I might not get any ripe. The Jack Be Little are frost tender (oh no both kinds are) and the Golden Nuggets haven’t even started female flowers yet.

But I’m treating this as a practice run so I learn more about their needs and hopefully can be more prepared in Spring. Hopefully these at least develop enough to get some nice pics before they’re consigned to the compost.

This is the plumpkin from a few angles

Does anyone know of any cheap/very easy going places for dinner near the Alfred hospital on Commercial road?

[–] underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

I used to work around there, but a few years ago. If a tram ride or longer walk is an option then Banff on Fitzroy St is great- cheap and cheerful pizza and pasta.

There are cafes immediately around the Alfred but I've got no idea what's there now.

When I was in there for a week ten years ago, I mostly went to a sushi place up the road a bit toward chapel St, northside of Commercial.

I'm up. Just want to rest so my sciatica doesn't become inflamed. I've been doing a lot of lifting and carrying so I have to be careful.

I could get linux on the new work laptop but it could make things like connecting to the VPN and printing a headache. I don't print much but I need the VPN to do work on the website.

I'd like to cut M$ out of my life where I can but will it be worth it?

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Are you sure it will be a headache? Linux printer drivers are up to date. VPN depends on the software used but most of the big names have Linux installers. I have to work within client systems and for the meeting at part can make it work.
