Second journal of the year here for me. This one features representatives of both Birthday Cake plants I got from my neighbor near the end of the season, that he could not take with him when he moved.
So far, these are all I have going, and boy do they look like they need some good TLC right now. Just have to remember that these are in a "holding pattern" right now as I work on getting various grow spaces set up around the house. Other than the usual objective of getting a good yield from one of each outside this year, I have other goals for these. First, these are Birthday Cake Lites, not pure Birthday Cakes; and I am close to 100% certain that the plants last year were pollinated by my Wildling boy that pollinated Fawn and made my first Feyleaf seeds, judging by the metric buttload of seeds each Birthday Cake gave. My other objectives for these will be mated sibling pairs from each set. So I need a boy and a girl from each set, and they will be noble bred. And that should technically make the results a pure strain again. Of course, they would still not be pure Birthday Cake, so their offspring will get a new but related name. I am leaning toward Birthday Spanking and Birthday Surprise here, though in future seasons, perhaps I will crossbreed the two as well. We can call them kissing cousins, I guess. But I digress.
Definitely getting another two or three of each started today, especially considering I only have one active representative of Plant:1 and 2 of Plant:2
And they are all looking a little sickly in various ways. But, the season has only begun, and so have I. And of minor interest, neither of the BC Lites that will be grown out and harvested will be going in the cage. They will each be getting large planters that can be moved around to wherever they are needed, since I don't like having more than three (2 is ideal really) crowding the cage. And the cage is reserved for 1 Feyleaf, 1 Bittersweet Pie, and 1 Bubblegum (next upcoming journal here, by the way).
Almost forgot...
