My quick trip to Bunnings turned out to be more hassle than anticipated. Something was wrong with the EFTPOS machine and it was not reading the cards, and the checkout operator apparently had no problem solving ability at all. Ended up just leaving the stuff there and walking out. I went to another Bunnings and got a much better checkout operator (i.e. used self checkout) and had no problems. Then on the way home there were poorly signed road closures making me divert twice. Frustrating. But at least when I did get home I could park in the carpark rather than out on the street.

Worked out what you're planting yet? I've got a bunch of onions I need to divide and spread out (brown and purple)

I'm planting lots of different vegies. One of the new beds will have tomatoes, capsicum and egglplant. I've got pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini and squash. Various leafy things and brassicas. Beans, root vegetables.
My garlic and onions are not growing very well, including some perrenial leeks which grew well last year but are not doing well now. I'm not sure why, but presume some more work on the soil will help.

my garlic just completely disappeared last year, stupid weather. Onions are going bang, but I have them in planters and just dump fresh compost/humus mix on top when it subsides.
Leeks might be bacterial in the soil, or just had the heart hit its lifespan
