Top right: Might have some bell peppers in a couple of months.
Bottom: Something has been chewing on the leaves of the NL5xAfghan.
My mother always said: If you’re hungry, eat.
If it happens then that means the plant is growing too fast and it being chewed on a little is a good thing, keeping it in check a little so it remains strong and potent.
How about that perspective?
They only touch the leaves anyway, and they’re plenty green.
I don’t see any fucks being given by the plant, so why should I give a fuck?
Even with the dimmer on zero it still gives a faint glow.
At first I just thought it was afterglow, a capacitor unloading slowly perhaps, if that’s even in there?
So I left it overnight, and in the morning it was still faintly glowing, so I unplug it completely every day now.
Made an adjustment.
The stacked pots in the corners weren’t reaching the bottom of the container and were drying out too fast from below. So took them out and put another fabric pot in there and then filled it with organic bagged potting soil and put the pots with the seeds on top of it, with some extra potting soil around, and topdressed with bananapeel.
Siamese twin version of stacked pots.
No seeds were lost in the process.
A little bit of roots were torn, but the damage was very minor, they’ll be fine.
Topdressed the big pot with some pottingsoil too and some dried leaves I found from walnut trees while I was leaning on them with one arm around them, like they’re my best buddies. It doesn’t need to be a full on hug. Just like, you’re pretty cool, I like you tree, kinda vibe you know.
Did some chopping as well.
The cilantro was delicious, and the basil is mildly spicy, very nice.
The woodsorrel tastes good too, it has a very unique fresh zing to it.
Harvested because it suddenly smelled like hay, weather has been rather dry and warm last few days. Looking bit rough, but this ain’t a beauty contest, it’s medicine.
I am harvesting just about every month now I think… or every month and a half, something like that?
Always have at least one in flower and always something in my jars.
I am grateful for being able to grow these magnificent herbs.
^ Slowly but surely some new growth on the Blueberry Muffin x Vintage Blueberry F2.
I think that might be some mint or nettle sprouting under it.
Spot the fungus gnat.
Gonna back off from watering again.
And we loved, again, this world.
Meanwhile, flowers still bloom.
The moon rises, and the sun.
Babies smile and somewhere,
Against all the odds,
Two people are falling in love.
Strangers share cigarettes and jokes.
Light plays on the surface of water.
Grace occurs on unlikely streets
And we hold each other fast
Against entropy, the fires and the flood.
Life leans towards living
And, while death claims all things at the end,
There were such precious times between,
In which everything was radiant
And we loved, again, this world.

After a few days of adding sage to my food i gotta say the effect of the cannabis is stronger and yet more clear thinking going on. Leans more towards psilocybin effect, but with a more rooted feeling.
Sage is amazing.
Opens the heart a good notch too.
Breathing is easier and lighter and body feels cooler in this heat.
Bloodpressure has been low the past few days, mildly dizzy when getting up fast.
Nothing bad, but a good reminder to never be in a hurry, that’s good.
When you heed what your body is telling you, you’ll be ok.
No, there’s a little bit of space around the fabric pots here and there and in two corners, so I mostly pour water in those gaps so that it is absorbed from the bottom.
Plenty of aeration going on from the sides.
I like to keep the top soil as dry as possible to prevent fungus gnats, but now and then I gotta pour some water on the top, then I get a gnat or two and then they disappear again.
