A couple new seeds

Ok so first off the anise is germinating which I think is good news 

I also planted a couple new things just into Dixie's on the heating mat I think some mint and achient sweet pepper one fruit from it weighed a half pound! I don't know how it will or won't grow but I am thinking I should get some plants to stay inside going as well 

Then I decided to take the ziplocks offa the stuff apart from the one guava in the big greenhouse 


The one with ziplock is in back kinda 



There's the one with the ziplock 


And my badly niglected aloe 


The 2 new seeds 


My outher seeds 


As you can see dunecraft stuff is still super sub-par! --they sent a clear parcel with .90 on it leaving it nearly 2 bucks owed they claim I'll get something with 2 bucks plus "worth" for that but I doubt as they also "claimed" they shipped but elec shipping info showed on the tracking the day after they "claimed" to have shipped so I've filed a complaint with the bbb and we will see where that goes I'm also asking compensation for the delay between jan 21 and April 10 on top of the 2 bucks AND the seed bombs again we will see what happens in the mean time ONLY clearance or 40-50% off for anything dunecraft I buy because this headache is NOT worth full price! 


Early Alaska pea and birdhouse gourd are both clearly up sunberry looks great lol as does the hot cherry bomb pepper and my garlic seems fine as well lol --most abused garlic! Lol! 


Better of cherry bomb peppers and sunberry 


Recession gold tomato (my last one!) and I think a fooled ja pepper (tag is correct) 


Recession gold coyote possible apple and the anise bag 


And I think I'm gonna loose my bay I really trimmed it in hopes of bringing it back but chances are it's too far gone by now so who knows? Only time will tell for certain

Eve of return

Some of you may know tomorrow is my first day back to work after the surgery so it will be intresting to see how it goes I think I'm up to it but I honestly don't know especially as I'll be jumping from one schedule to another so that will be a challenge I'm trying to stay up tonight in hopes that I can kinda reset to my schedule but chances are it won't be quick to transition back especially with spring here and summer coming 

So some pics as well lol 


And on that note I am still not happy with dunecraft they sent postage due knowing (the postage was so low they HAD to know) and are refusing it appears again to be replying to my emails! 



Further examples of dunecraft and how poor they are as a company 


My bay isn't looking too good I hope it lasts long enough to get outside for the summer 


I replanted my 2 early Alaska peas as well 


And the birdhouse gourds from rusty spade that I really should have grown last year! 




Those are actually garlic that I'm growing as chives and I think this will be it's 3rd year! 











That dragonfruit looks kinda odd to me but it also looks to be doing well considering 


Avacadoes 


More 


The one that's said healthyier 





The guava babies! 


And the aloe hopefully I'll have a day off semi soon and we can divide up my uncles plant! I really wanna get back into the aloe pot and honestly don't think this is doing that well but time will tell

Total update!

I've pics from all over! Lol from the aloe to the beans and the tomatoes even the flowering sun berries! 

So shall we get on with it? 


First off because of space I pulled out the bay and made a lid for it from 2 of my ziplocks to try to keep some humidity in there tho it dosent look like it I know there is plenty of water in the container (which is why I prefer transparent or translucent) 


The seed bombs are still looking pathetic and I don't know what's going on with dunecraft they said in January they would replace and have said a few times yet nothings ever come in I'm trying to find out how long till I should get it especially sence I feel like I'm being targeted to have mail stolen and anything from these people ATM appears stolen! 


My smaller sunberry is starting to flower! 


One of my fruit trees it's likely an apple


Coyote tomato seedling 


My outher sunberry has many flower buds! So hopefully I'll get to taste them soon they sound similar to but different from blueberries 


One of the recession gold seedlings (hope it's not the only one to survive!) 


Another coyote seedling --buryied it a little deeper (just put the dirt on top --that's why I was ok with them being long and buryied lower) 


Hot cherry bomb pepper and it actually makes me think I could grow and keep some inside in a greenhouse to harvest from in that sort of condition I think worth a try 


Fooled ja pepper 


Apple pepper 


My outher fruit tree --again possibly an apple 


A single German chamomile plant! As pathetic as it looks I'm glad to see it! 


I think that's a sweet datil it's some pepper and we will certainly see what it is when it fruits defo a pepper 


Apple pepper tho I think it's true leaves have died so we will see what happens with it 


The outher resession gold tomato to me it isn't looking like it's doing so we'll but hopefully it pulls thru! 


My chives that's actually garlic seeds that are grown together like chives --it's about in it's 3rd year this season will be it's 3rd year 


The dragon fruit 


Some reg avocados that I'm trying to germinate 


Avacado (possibly 3 reg or 1 lg) 


Guava pulp 


Avacado (3 reg or 1 lg) 


The older guava 


And if you look closely you can see a sprout! 


Aloe 


And the "pole beans" from dunecraft farm kit all that's left from that kit I'm not super happy with them getting so leggy but once I can eat I'll be trying them and maby letting a few of them dry out in the plant so I know the seeds are good 

So how's everyone looking? I treated the whole of the big greenhouse with some sevin because I saw some stuff that reminded me of spider webs tho I didn't inspect close enough to verify just sprayed lol
