Saturday update! for the missed time here and everywhere else on the site. This is has been my longest time away since I joined just over six years ago, and man does it feel weird to be gone that long. Been working 12 hours days and even last Saturday, and then my only day off on Sunday I slept most of it. And then it was back to the grind last Monday.
oof!
But that's all done and past and I should be back here on the regular going forward. for thinking about me and for the good wishes on this journal having hit the 1 million view milestone! To be fair, this journal has been rolling since October of 2017 and it wouldn't have happened without all of you.
Anyway, here are some plant pics to get this place back on track, starting with the completely recovered Grandpa's Moonshine (pic from Thursday on day 87):
It drinks a gallon a day now and I'll be flipping it in a few days. I have to get it shaped like a rectangle first to fit in the tent.
Of course, the main attraction is the 5 Killer Cookies, today on flip day 29:
I am really stuck on the yellow leaves in flower thing. Same whether I'm in ProMix, soil, or this wet-perlite-under-dry-soil bucket, or whether I'm using MC, my own mix, or Prescription Blend.
Anyway, here are a couple of shots of the tops:
From Thursday:
You might be able to make out the pink pistils in this one:
In other garden news, I upcanned the lime tree that I rooted from a cutting back in May 2021. It took a year to put out that new growth, but now it was time to get it out of the 5 gallon pot and into something bigger:
Citrus roots are almost always at the bottom, which is why it's important to really water them well:
New home:
Eventually it will go into a 30 or 40 gallon pot as its forever home.
Finally, the garlic clove that sprouted in the fridge last year and got planted in the middle of a bunch of succulents in a little pot has been harvested:
Smells good! Thanks @dynamo1 for always bringing the great garlic harvests and inspiring me.
That's it for me today. There's no way I can catch up on all 1160 posts I missed (and still watch the Women's World Cup ), but I promise to do the best I can. Hope your weekend is going splendiferously!
