    Is there a world where I can have a neverending supply of these herbs (parsley, basil, coriander, etc.) - maybe having a few different crops at different stages of growth?

    Is there any way to salvage a coriander plant when it does this, or am I best to mulch it and start from scratch? My parsley is looking like it is about to do the same thing. Is there any way to prevent it and help it continue producing?

    Jump
  • bmck bmck 12 months ago 100%

    Our house has ducted evaporative cooling. It works great on dry hot days but is absolutely useless if there’s any amount of humidity. We’re going to get a split system in our bedroom for hot humid days.

    We’re in Melbourne so it works well enough for the few stinking hot days we get.

    Depending on how nerdy you want to be, hledger is pretty robust.

    It would take a bit of setup, but you can automate transaction imports and apply rules to categorise transactions automatically.

    I've been wondering if there's a way to do this with actual bank accounts. I know with ING I can only have like 2 savings/transactional accounts (1 joint, 1 personal).

    I'd like to be able to spin up accounts for these categories and use them as the "envelopes" instead of relying on cash.

    For files - as the other person said just copy and paste from the folder on your desktop.

    If you're a bit on the techy side, take a look at plain text accounting.

    I'm not overly familiar with how things work financially in the U.S. for day-to-day things, but here in Australia, I run everything through my debit card, so at the end of the month, I import all my transactions into Hledger, allocate them to their appropriate expenditure account (i.e., food, gas, utilities, dining out, etc.) and then I can run a report on where my money has gone. I've been doing it over the past 2 years and it gives some really good insight.

    Although it's retrospective, it helps me understand what I'm spending my money on and can help forecast and budget.

    Gardening tips for Melbourne

    I'd like a garden that's useful for cooking - herbs, basic veg/tomatoes. But I don't really know where to start. I had a small patch of herbs, but it was overrun by weeds. I'd like to start this spring with a fresh raised garden bed in my (small) front garden. It receives a decent amount of sun. Are there any good resources out there for establishing a garden like this in Melbourne? Google obviously is fairly northern-hemisphere oriented, so seasons/availability don't really align. Things I'm curious about are – - what to plant - when to plant - when to harvest - how to harvest - how to deal with pests - how to deal with weeds - seeds vs. seedlings - how often to water - how much to water - to feed or not to feed
