Perpetual Garden Update: Week 2
The highlight of the week was the speed with which the seeds planted in the HB kit soil almost jumped out of the soil solution.
Auto Destroyer was up by the morning of the third day after planting, with the New Year's Bag seed right behind by minutes. The African Buzz came up the following morning and the Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia and the Super Lemon Haze x Blue Satellite 2.2 finished up the run by Friday morning. Extremely impressive. All you HB guys go right ahead and beat your chests.
In order of appearance:
Auto Destroyer: Day 5
New Year's Bag Seed: Day 5
African Buzz: Day 4
Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia: Day 3
Super Lemon Haze x Blue Satellite 2.2 : Day 3
I topped them off with a bit more soil, bringing it up to the top. With the small volume of soil in these pots I figure every little bit will help and it also helps with that stretch my neglect caused. I have since dropped a couple cool bulbs over one end of the tray. I'll get something over the other end ASAP. Everybody got a bit of rain water.
Let's always keep in mind that my schedule isn't as conducive to keeping up with all of this as I would hope it could be. Not that I can't handle it, just that I've about used up all the wiggle room I had, so now I have to buckle down and get the systems running smoothly to maintain this size garden with little effort and no stress. I took on the responsibility willingly, and now I need to act accordingly. There's always that husband fighting to keep his remaining leg to distract me too.
The Cheese Candy, planted with the Dark Devil, also came up on that third morning. In retrospect I can see that had everything to do with how that little pixie devil is surrounded by light, an advantage the Cheese Candy exploited.
Cheese Candy: Day 5
The rest of the SWICK pots yet to pop are all LOS. Any day now girls.
I went about my business with the Dark Devil and as I was finishing up I glanced over at the pots again.
Wait! What's that?
Well hello Karashnikova! Welcome to the group.
So we still have two more LOS to germinate. I'd figure within the next day or so. We now have 7 of the 9 up and growing.
The Dark Devil Calls.
Daily Update: Dark Devil Auto - Day 56
She got her 1/4 turn for light balance and today was Enzyme Tea day, so both LOS pots got a quart of Malted Barley Grain Enzyme Tea poured slowly over the surface. I didn't bother with topping off their reservoirs, since that was last done yesterday. I love the freedom this watering method offers.
I'm just going to throw these out there and step back so you can enjoy.
Oh yeah. The garden is doing well, thank you very much.
I leave you with my favorite shot of the day. I've recently been taking advantage of my free time in the evenings to play through music videos and I'm just oozing with love from the experience. Music is such an important part of being human and for too many years I had to be constantly alert for signs and sounds of sickness. It's been a release to rediscover music. Isn't YouTube fabulous?
This picture pretty much expresses how I feel today. I've told you all that in SweetSue's universe purple is the color of love, haven't I? Yeah. I'm like an expanding aura of love lately.
I couldn't contain my own joy if I tried today, so by all means, let your own joyful source overflow all around you as well. Consider how much better the world will be, just for now, as we do that. Makes me smile just thinking about it.
