Plant Updates
6.24.26 - Doing self-sufficient wizard shit is a real pain in the positronic penis when your growing zone is 10a and most traditional medicinal herbs are native to fucking Europe. Tack on limited sunlight, limited space, and frankly limited time to play environmental engineer with dramatic perennials (looking at you lavender, you know what you did). I must come to accept that some resources will have to be bought, however, I am doing research to see what can actually survive, and perhaps even thrive in what basically amounts to an enclosed habitat on the surface of Venus. Okay, maybe not Venus in terms of the acid rain, but the scorching temperatures seem close. I'll probably start with mint. I don't think you could kill mint even if you tried. Yes, I'm keeping it in a container, I'm a gardener not a menace.
6.23.26 - Been debating on whether to steal Leif's pebble tray to use as a humidity tray for the indoor greenhouse. The current soaked paper towel solution is adequate, but it does require frequent rehydrating. Stealing the pebble tray and placing it in the mini greenhouse could help maintain stable conditions by virtue of not needing to be refilled as often. That might be a Friday through Sunday observation. Damn building getting in the way of my agriculture! On a related note, Beelzebulb appears to be recovering well from The Great Swarm Event of 2026...where I accidentally left the grow lights on for 4 days straight while I was on vacation. Old tendrils have defintely withered and died, and they've been removed, but the crown remains healthy, and new tendrils are currently in the process of growing, including at least 3 of a substantial size. Observation is ongoing.
6.22.26 - All systems green...except for some of the pings, they're getting a little rosy.
