...Feeding the worms. Draining off the worm "wee" and applying diluted (1:10) worm wee to my fruit and vegie plants.
... Tackling Mt. Washmore. After umpteen loads of machine washing, hung on the folding lines and the garage line after I ran out of room on the outside line, I decided that in the spirit of getting rid of the mending pile yesterday (most definitely a form of decluttering), I should tackle the hand-washing and "needs soaking" piles! Considering that the pile of hand-washing alone had almost filled a clothes basket (how embrrassing), it is nice to now only have two items left in the bottom (which I will deal with when the current washing dries and I have more space to dry it!). I also had a massive pile of kids clothes to give away to the Salvos - sitting around cluttering up my bedroom - but all had stains of one nature or another, so needed a good soak in Napisan first. Done! Phew.
Next job is to tackle the towering piles of gardening magazines that seem to have also migrated to the bedroom, don't ask me why.
Making: Ginger beer.
Picking: Long Purple and Supreme eggplants, crystal apple cucumbers, cherry tomatoes.
Dinner: Homegrown salad and crusty bread rolls.
Reading: The Aussie Gardenate online planting calendar for January via Scarecrow's recommendation (make sure you select your correct climate zone at the top if you use it).
Contemplating: What to plant to replace the finished-for-the-season tomatoes and cucumber plants I am about to pull out.

Sow a crop of peas, beans and cabbage in that spot and another crop of toms and cucumbers in another spot to keep them going through Autumn ;)
Hi Jayne, thanks for the tips :-) Pity I don't have room for moving the tomatoes and cucumbers though :-( Space is very limited in my small garden...
