Ugh. Accidentally napped in the evening.
Melbcat is feasting on a pumpkin baby food and springwater tuna snack. At least all the extra wet food is keeping her well hydrated and her bowels going.
Being creative is really hard. I’ve stalled on something I was drawing and constantly feel burned out. So many good ideas but sputtering empty tank noises
Thready little carrots have been coming up for the past few days, I can’t believe it. I was expecting them to be finicky. I’ve definitely sown them a bit too close together.
Edit: wait nah they’re good https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4xrXRBcKF3Q
Now I need to work out fertiliser that isn’t too high in nitrogen. I’d just get Seasol but Melbcat tries to drink it
yeah it's the fish emulsion. Unfortunately also rules out stuff like charlie carp and other goodies. You after liquid or granules?
I’m not sure. Granules might smell less tasty?
I already have some designed for tomatoes and vegetables but looking into the nitrogen levels will tax my last two brain cells

anything kelpy or bone meal would work, but also likely to be a cat attractant - if you've got them in potting mix, don't fuss, good rule of thumb is ~ 3 months fertiliser in that already. You could try some aged compost if you like, cow turds are great for it.
The potting mix did say it had plant food in it, so that’s good. Maybe it doesn’t need extra for a while unless their growth slows or leaves yellow
