Catterpillar started its cocoon.
I wonder how many go apeshit over this.
Catterpillars are welcome in my garden.
I’d rather have butterflies around.
Thank you very much.

There’s thrips too, and I’m gonna do absolutely nothing to remove them.
I have observed the ants in my outdoor garden farm them last summer, group them together and buzz at them with their antennae, probably singing to them, keeping them in slumber with certain vibrations it looked like. Then they drag their eggs to their ant queen to feed the queen’s larvae
or something like that.

To observe and celebrate all life, that’s what we are doing here.

Thrips absolutely love vetch. That’s their first love.
Why would they look for something else when they have their favorite food?
They are like insectoid calves, sucking the juice from their green nitrogen cow shaped as a plant.
Everybody has what they need, everybody happy.

So, always have vetch growing, would be my advice.
It’s a thrip magnet that keeps them away from your other plants.

Making mountains out of anthills…
Just relax, it is what it is.
Sit your ass down.
Observe.

The vetch doesn’t even suffer from the aphids.
I even harvested a bunch of beans.
They’re beneficial in balance.

Aphids only eat your cannabis if you don’t give them anything better.

People are only panicking because others are panicking.
Don’t be a sheep in a herd.
You’re the shepherd.
Shape the herd.

When strange animals join the herd, embrace them,
rather than turning them into enemies, make them friends by feeding them.
Effortlessness.
Peace.

I lifted it today and it was nicely wet underneath, very cool.
Beyond my expectations!
Thinking to let it sink a couple of weeks, then move it a bit further up and topdress the sunken space.
And repeat.

Two males growing now.
I’m eating all leaves who obstruct the females in the slightest.
I have a strong suspicion one of the females is an Aurora Borealis because of the shape of the leaf edges. Apart from that, I think the cheese sativa that came up last grow is back.
Gonna prune the leaves of that one too if it obstructs the others.
The other cultivars in the blue pot are a mystery so far.

The vetch and basil is sprouting too, faster than I’ve ever seen them sprout.

Look at it all go!
Such blessings!
Grateful I am.

Occasionally eating a basil leaf too, very strong and kinda minty flavor!
Tingles the tongue, how marvellous. Growing our own herbs is priceless!
Every day something new to discover!

Gonna include a few basil seeds when I give away seeds.
They’re from basil plants that are over 2 years old, standing in the same pot on the window sill.
