Lophophora's spare bathroom

OMG. Becky, look at her buds.

It’s so big

She looks like one of those rap guys’ girlfriends.

But, you know. Who understands those rap guys?

They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, okay.

I mean her bud, It’s just so big!

I can’t believe it’s so round

It’s like, out there. I mean, it’s gross…

Look, she’s just so black

It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white.

No Michael Jackson, please.

Ah-hee-hee- alright, fine. Have it your way.

Well, what do you think?

Those buds look like they were hacked by a blind woodsman.

Alright it wasn’t my best trimming job. Ignoring that little detail and any further criticisms let’s have a closer look.

Here’s the Fog Dog:

Not my all time Fog Dog record but it’s still an impressive yield considering the amount of effort that went into this run.

The colas came out super budly though, not a lot of trimming needed.

You’ve got that going for you at least.

Precisely.

Here’s the Blackstrap.

No idea why they call this one Blackstrap. It must have a subtle molasses flavour.

Yeah. That must be it.

This plant’s budliness was more distributed throughout the structure which would have been an absolute menace to trim if not for the fact that she lost all of her fan leaves leading up to chop time.

Convenient.

Yeah, to think most people make an active effort towards defoliation.

What comes next?

Next I need to clean the tub. Two grows worth of run off and a thick layer of Blackstrap leaves have left my bathtub rather filthy. Wouldn’t hurt to run a sponge through there.

Good plan.

Glad we’re in agreement.

Anyways thank you for the visit. It’s always a pleasure to see you.

It does when you’re playing chess! Statistically, white wins 25% more games, and more like 50% at Grandmaster-level play. Looks like a nice harvest, though. :slight_smile:

Greetings and a happy new year to all!

Things are going great, I hope all is well by you. I’ve been here on OG the whole time, just been really quiet about it.

I’ve also been meaning to make a meaningful update but things have been somewhat stagnant in the gardening world, specifically in my spare bathroom.

Most recently I discovered strawberries growing in my tub:

They don’t look like much but they were the sweetest berries I’ve ever eaten. Only five more months until I can move these plants outside and turn my backyard into a U-pick strawberry patch. The plan is to keep propagating in the meantime.

With the good comes the bad I guess because I’ve been completely overrun by strawberries. Overgrown, if you will.

My resolution for this year was to clean my tub. You can see the dustpan from where this got started but I had to fall back after losing the first expedition team in the process.

Lost a good man on that expedition…

Really? Who?

Ah nuts, he’s back.

Well hopefully I can get back to gardening once somebody cleans the tub.

Me?

Thank you for the visit! Hope to see you again soon.

You know and I know that this hasn’t happened yet.

Delicious beyond measure. It’s gotten to the point that my family always asks “Do you have any more of those tasty berries?”

The store bought strawberries are going uneaten in my fridge. They are bitter like ashes by comparison to bathtub berries.

Your collective interest and love has spurned me to plant some more strawberry runners tonight.

Only eight more weeks until I can transplant all of these strawberries to the backyard and get my spare bathroom ready to grow again!

Just in time for the outdoor growing season!

Yes, of course.

Thanks for stopping by!

I grew up eating the ‘wild ones’ at the lake when a kid.
I remember the first ‘store bought’ strawberries as being a great disappointment after the first bite… :slightly_frowning_face:

The little ones pack a punch…

Cheers

Today is a celebration!

Aww yeah! It’s four twe-

Only one more month until I can start moving my strawberries outside.

Wait, what?

Since we last spoke I potted and rooted a batch of strawberry runners.

Not that I haven’t enjoyed success with indoor berry-culture:

I think tonight I’ll get the next batch of runners into some dirt in preparation for the outdoor planting season.

Twenty five days since your last update and that’s it?

Yep. I hope you found it berry informative.

Thanks for visiting!

Here we go again! After an inordinate period of inactivity I decided to get my act together.

You’re finally acting like an adult and accepting your responsibilities?

What? No way. I meant it’s time to grow again.

Of course.

No need to be a bummer. Here, check it out!

Looking good approximately three weeks later:

There were four seeds and yet only two plants in that photo.

Easy there, detective. Good observation though. I gave a couple to my neighbour for his garden. Boy will he be excited when he figures out those weren’t tomatoes.

Why are those plants outdoors in a spare bathroom thread?

Because I like growing more than I dislike outdoors, alright?

The bathroom is full of strawberries, isn’t it?

Not full exactly but yes mostly occupied by strawberries at the moment.

For real though, do you know how hard it is to till up your backyard with just a pitchfork?

I’m maybe 50% of the way there. I’ll definitely be able to get some of the strawberries planted outdoors by this weekend. I plan to till dirt and plant strawberries until my yard is nearly all berries, I don’t care if it takes all summer.

Anyways, it’s been fun. Thank you for visiting me!

My back yard stinks and it’s all your fault.

I can’t stay mad at you. Looking good!

Wait a minute- enhance!

No!

Noo!

Nooo!

Noooo!

Nooooo!

It’s just not fair…

Sorry, man.

I’m still not cutting back on meat.

I meant the bud rot.

Oh, right. Of course. Thanks.

All this rain is a double edged sword.

No sense in crying about it anymore, I can’t control the weather.

Here, check out my other plants:
