The winter garden looking all dead and spiky. Those banana trees are rather ragged. Poor things.
So what's all this talk of failure - well, carrots, naturally. I have never been able to grow them but here I am trying again. This time they're in a large container so we'll see if that makes a difference.
The local Pick n Pay didn't have the energy-saving globes I was looking for, so looks like that's going to have to wait until we're willing to make the trek to the huge Pick n Pay by Greenstones.
It did however have biodegradable dishwashing liquid and laundry powder. Whee! The dishwashing liquid is from the Pick n Pay Green range and the laundry powder is Ecosoft 2in1.
In other exciting news, the dogs and cats have been dewormed and treated, except for Tarantino, who is presumably off killing things.

Ooh, looks like it's getting warmer, and the day is 1 minute longer. :D
ETA: Okays...I have to admit I was more than a little sceptical about how well vinegar and bicarb of soda were going to work at cleaning, but my bathroom tiles haven't looked this good since the last time I used Bang on them. Crazy. Chalk one up for the greener alternative.
