What's HomegrownVABudz up too?

To be fair $900 a month was on the high end of what broke college fools would consider affordable.

So I took the Appalachia and transplanted them I to quarts.

Figured they’re probably gonna start getting hungry so I needed to get it done.

I should’ve just put them in 2 gallon or 4 gallon pots but eh it’ll be fine lol

Soooooo I’m having internal conflicts. I need advice.

My idea was brilliant. I feel like we were well prepared, we executed perfectly and we delivered on time.

Judge feedback was released today and I’m not as happy as I thought I would be. Only 2 out of 14 judges were able to sample my entry because of the heat, allegedly.

Idk what kind of feedback the other folks in my category received but I’m feeling like I don’t deserve the baked goods win. Less scores to average made it way too easy and I don’t like that.

The notes were praising it, their scores were fantastic, but I just feel like it’s not a real win.

Im gonna try and make it right, but idk how far that’ll go. Not supposed to know who the judges are :unamused:🤷

Also some fucked up stuff. My topical potentially lost because of a typo :upside_down_face:

I have no way to prove it of course, but the scores have a random outlier to make me think it was lmao

Did you see on IG WH was scolding the judges for being dicks?

I’m sure your canoli were legit. Sometimes the cookie crumbles in your favor. Or the canoli melts?

Yeah I read the feedback a buddy got and some of * it was not constructive :sweat_smile::rofl:

He had a lot that was great.

I can only imagine some of the stuff other folks got.

I can’t imagine being a dick. It wasn’t a huge event, no big bucks or deals with Berner. I can’t imagine having a stick up my ass.

Id secretly love to see the comments. It’s firmly none of my business, but if someone showed me I’d :scream: “omg, Becky” right along with them.
