Contents of flats 3 and 4 ATM

As I said before 4 isn't full so that will only be added to 

If this drug really puts me to sleep it also wakes me when it wears off which I'd rather sleep after it's left then wake shitty with a hydrant nose and I think ATM the nose that won't stop running may even be worse then the caughing --have I mentioned I HATE being sick?!

4-3 sugar apple 
5-1 luffa

Growth re-arrange and sickness

Ok so bad news first shall we? I'm sick something like a common cold it started as one thing (dry/scratchy throat that would NOT go away) and now I'm on NyQuil severe to try to help battle it I have found half doses claim to make you sleepy (well the full dose I think) I stay awake just fine I've had my first full dose or a double dose to me but I prefer less to more with drugs it's all a balancing act --and how can you sleep with a hydrant type runny nose? 

Ok so more posative note 

I was playing in and re-arranging the greenhouses 


All the same just don't know what pepper 




The fruit trees that are somehow STILL alive! 


Moved a LOT over there from the little greenhouse to make room 


Tray 1 


Tray 2 


After some re-arranging 


Tray 1 after some cleaning 


Tray 2 after cleaning 

In both it looks like a LOT of things are starting and coming up! 


Tray 3 after planting 

(I'll get the list up later) 


Trays 3 and 4 in water on the heating mat *note* 4 is NOT fully planted have to finish and make it's notes 


And it's buddies lol

Early germ!

In the midst of some paycheak issues (misprint and bad number for the owner of the store) I took a look at my seeds and some are germinating! YAY! Only took like a few days for some of them which defo means I am doing something right! 


There's a bunch of little pepper plants in the one pot (ok seedlings and that WILL be too small as they get bigger) and I'm hoping I haven't killed the bay and goji 


Another little further over 


Yup my garlic as chives is still alive! That should grow just fine outside next year too lol and some more peppers I'm trying to get going lol 


Here's tray 1 clearly I see signs from: yellow chamomile (2-1) carnation (3-2) and white grape (4-1) tho I'm sure there's a bit more then the pic shows or I see on the pic 

On closer look I also see roots for fooled ja peppers (4-2) there also look to be roots starting for: pomegranate (5-2) guava (5-1) and goji (5-3) as well as some possible white mold I should spray for


And here is tray 2 on it I see early germ signs on the sunberry (1-2) with a little tail I also see the tail on Abraham Lincoln tomatoes (2-3) striped pepper tomatoes (3-1) and coyote tomatoes (3-1) and germination on Jennie's basil (3-3) some early germination on the stevia (4-2) which is good cause I know it's a very slow grower to start out there's also some early germination signs with the German chamomille (5-1) 

So I'm feeling good about this season allready thinking I'll try to buy another mat or 2 and tray and see about getting a few more things going however it happens have plenty else going on (I think I'm sick my throat is really scratchy and I don't have the mint but I keep caugh drops in my med pack and I've allready puked today not much but enough that I defo know I'm sick lol)

Starting some seeds and some good news

First let me say I am very annoyied with my mom she KNOWS as well as anyone else does I work 3rd and that's the schedule I know well while I was trying to sleep sle decided to barge in and unplug *everything* my seedling heating mat which I never thought had exposed wires and my old shop lamp which again I never thought was an issue yet she claims they can start fires?! That seedling mat is only a couple years old it may not have gone into the attic every year or some outher "away" that she then forgets about untill it's time to sell stuff because she again is running out of money for whatever her excuse is this time and now she is saying a SINGLE 100 daylight cfl is "too bright" for the foyer again I call bull it was on a timer to start AND she keeps 2 75 watt bulbs in the bathroom which *shocked* is actually about the same size as the foyer so that can't be it eighter I think she just hates me doing anything I enjoy but that's a narcissistic mother for you which she is 100% can't let me be happy has to keep me pissed and childish if I am happy she twists it into a reason NOT to be happy! I kid you not when angel died she wanted to put gloves on to treat my kitty like she was CONTAMINATED! That HURT I know my kitty had nothing that I'd get because I cared for her so much and within 6 hours we had her buryied again not KNOWING the cod hurts too one can only guess at this point I should have said "let's go back to the humane society" asked if they could find a cod and asked her body back as well so we can take care of it 

Ok so on a more posative note (the rose she is planted under is called "peace" and I wanna expand that area into a garden for her) as I said I was starting or trying to start some seeds yes this early and yup it is early for us but about time for tomatoes and peppers if you want good strong plants by summer and planting I have no doubt I'll still be buying some stuff from millaegers or wherever I am/go as I allways do but these should give me a few plants to play with too  

The planted are (by carton/row just typing up what I have on my notepad) 
1-1 apple pepper 
1-2 herb bomb (trying one see how well it does or dosent work) 
1-3 cotton 
2-1 yellow chamomile 
2-2 mammoth dill 
2-3 sweet datil pepper
3-1 temptation strawberry 
3-2 carnation 
3-3 cilantro 
4-1 white grape 
4-2 fooled ja pepper 
4-3 hot cherry bomb pepper 
5-1 guava 
5-2 pomegranate 
5-3 goji 

Flat 2 

1-1 Concord grape 
1-2 sunberry 
1-3 fireball tomato 
2-1 green/purple basil (y'all saw momma last year in pics) 
2-2 boxwood basil 
2-3 Abraham Lincoln tomato 
3-1 striped pepper tomato 
3-2 coyote tomato 
3-3 Jennie's basil 
4-1 tulsi holy basil 
4-2 stevia 
4-3 pineapple sage 
5-1 German chamomile 
5-2 sage 
5-3 lemongrass 

I still have 2 more flats to plant as well and as I work at a resturant these flats are actually egg cartons the 2.5 doz sheets I think (we get 15 doz to a case it's heavy but not that bad anymore lol) so I know most are actually herbs and will be up pretty quick I also know I can't leave them in those planters for long after those I have my self-watering mat out that I can atleast toss them on help establish better and that as I don't have much for "pots" past my coir things that I rather don't like I may have to get/find some plastic ones with holes or something because I don't wanna fuss with half rubbish pot later in the year 


Ok so I plugged the stuff back in and changed the time (oh it's 1:30 not 1 oh well) we will see in morning what happens but ATM here's what it looks like 



Flat 2 is on the left (main clue the herb bomb in flat 1 is on the right side) also that dirt looks kinda light to me I know it's expand-n-grow not seedling mix (I love the expand-n-grow indoors it's like perfect!) so I did add a small cup with some water try to boost humidity it's on the heating mat ATM so we will see how that goes 

I also have 2 more of those to plant but I'll fuss over it later gotta figure what else I wanna plant and that as it's really stupid early for beans peas and melons and that  

I also like a week or so ago went thru and cleaned up the greenhouses (thought I posted on it guess not) 


I have faith that goji is still alive just sleeping and similar with the bay but I'm not certain 


And here we have what looks like pepper seeds growing we will defo see how they turn out  


I didn't think the aloe would look so leggy but outher things that were still alive did suprise me like the bay trees one looks dead but I think it's still alive the outher is defo still alive the fruits I don't know what they are but it looks like they still want atleast to live so they are alive lol 


Some mints are somehow still alive as well and you can see the lighter on the aloe very easily there it too needs a TON more light then it was getting 

So we will see how things go in the morning my guess is nothing will change but never know that's for certain who knows? We might clean up the WHOLE house so it's ALL puppy proof and re-do the greenhouses and even buy me a futon to sleep on (I place that at .053% chance of happening) but here's to hoping shit works out

Happy new year!

Ok guys it's been FOREVER sence I have updated I have been so stupid busy with work! And it appears as tho cops love me as well which I rather don't like at all 

I am working tonight and I think were expecting a weekend bar rush type situation (that's what 3 people being on means to me) so I can only hope it will be fun it's my first New Years working and I'm kinda glad I got to work all the holidays thanksgiving Christmas Eve I did 11.5 hours (was asked by my boss and agreed tho uncle thought it much to me it's not only helping a friend that didn't feel good but keeping avalibility for my boss as they are the same person) Christmas Day I worked and now New Year's Eve I'm working and again I'm kinda excited to see what it brings! 90+% of the time I love my job 5-7% I don't get paid enough to deal with the drunks and crap (3rd) and plenty goes on to boot and 3% or so there can be times I actually don't like some stuff for whatever reason but that's bound to happen 

So cop time? One of the days after work I decided on post-Haloween shopping get deals and that fun stuff well I was fairly tired and did a bad merge 


Well that ended up being the result on my hamster mobile was 5k to fix but insurance covered all but 500 and we had a ticket too all has been taken care of and that's fixed by now in fact my car still needs to be re-organised after it went in to Dj (don Jacobs Toyota the only place I really trust and the place I need to ask about a carfax as a favour too but that's cause the place it's from sold it with an OPEN RECALL like flames in doors and never said anything! Defo wasn't from Dj!) 

Then on Christmas Eve (after working 11.5 hours) on the way home I lost control of the car because the city I work in clearly does not care enough to salt there roads or do anything I knocked a sign over if they had salted I would have not slipped and if you need proof the rest of my way home that outher city salted and the ride was perfect 0 slippage! So I knocked over a sign and have about 500 in fines because I panicked and didn't call the cops I'm thinking I'll see pre trial on there what it entails but I am at risk of loosing my liscence again if they had salted that would NOT have happened I only have 2.5 wheel drive! 


There's the damage from there  as you can see my tag is missing and that's how they got me but I think that whole grey bumper is all that needs replacing ATM and that's cheap enough as a part and it looks simple enough I can just replace it myself which I plan on doing then I am likely to have to pay for a car wash as well but that's what? 5 bucks at speedway? So my life is a mess and more then normal lol 

I did FINALLY get to watering my plants! And I also have to sort what I wanna try growing this year too defo doing fewer plants then I did last year that many just didn't do it for production 


There's the big greenhouse dead on bottom and all moved to more light 

The bays I was suprised to see still seem alive the aloe looks to be getting leggy but it was in less light the fruit trees went dormant but seem alive still there's some mint that's still alive I'm hoping the lemon grass is still alive that one green with beige has guava that I'm gonna try growing there's also avo pits that have split and I'm hoping they start to form roots semi-soon 


And here's the little one again dead on bottom this time nothing at all on top thinking I may use that for seed starting with my Dixie cups that will be something in this one most bay looks dead the goji may be dead too my garlic-chives are doing fine the momma peppers are all dead but there's seeds that should hopefully germinate an yea that fun crap 

So lol this year I'm planning on buying blueberries and grapes (yup from millaegers) thinking maby 3 blueberries and 2-3 grapes depending I think I'll also get new containers for them as well it looks like the goji that are 100% outside are still doing ok (there still bendy) I don't know what varieties of anything I'll grow yet defo a lot to think about but I'll prolly do similar to last year just "less" lol crazy but fun I'm hoping I can even get a spring time job at millaegers but have yet to see how that goes as asst mgr says get good at one job first tho I don't quite know if she means cook as good as she does or what 

I know I'll do some herbs some tomatoes and some peppers I have 2 planters from herbs and likely I'll re-plant my moms salsa garden as her gift (last year I baught the pot and plants she baught the dirt because she wanted better then I was gonna put in it and we agreed on it too) plus I have the raspberries that are coming and another rasberry type that may come back and the mint planter and a few more planters to think about as well so we will see only when everyone's planted what I'll grow lol but I think I'll have fun no less lol 

Last week I did 5 days this week I'm looking at 5 days and I don't know about next but I know that if the 5 day weeks keep up I'll get burned out as much as I love the hours and the pay I can't keep up with it with such a demanding job (it's hard work not complaining trust me I LOVE scrubbing down the grill it's one of my favourite things about being there I hate the baby grill tho lol!) 

Oh and I got a new phone who is bascially like a 3GS with iOS 7 on it it don't work and only has 1 gig hdd on it this one has 32 gigs! So I'm apt to buy another phone and switch to that in time and I've heard virgin will be no more as well so that will be intresting to see as I love virgin (53 on att 37 on virgin about the SAME plan least to me! Att 2 gig data 300 text and 450 minutes virgin throttles at 2.5 gig unlimited and like 300 or something I never used all my minutes or all my texts but I am a data hog!) oh and new one her 3 meg camera this has like 7 or so i5 has like 8 and I still plan on getting 5s and a HUGE one too I'll likely get the sprint (owns virgin) off contract so easily 800 bucks and that may become my phone after my next one unless the romours about 6 are that impressive lol

Some bad news

So I think y'all can sort 3rd is really messing with me and it's something on its own 

It atleast appears many of my cuttings are in fact dying on me old pics 




Some the dirt is just *bone* dry! I hope I have atleast a few survivors into spring I'm also starting to think that maby I should try planting some seeds and that as we'll 

Friday, November 15, 2013

I think the season is over?

Well were gearing up for Black Friday and my phone recent ally died on me leading me to get a burner but that's beside the point 

This morning I was let out really early and I got home with a little time to glance at my greenhouses here's what I found: 


There's the little greenhouse 


And the big one 

I've been so busy working that I haven't even had a chance to cheak on my greenhouses! Some of those peppers are DEF dead! So time to start planning for planting and seeing what I can and can't do with them there we will see how it goes there 

As such I also have to hope everyone survives outside (the ones I want to rather) if not my mom has said she WILL buy new strawberries now come season she will deny it no doubt because that's what she does! 

On the plus side it looks like the bay dragonfruit and aloe are all still alive so something should survive atleast (oh and my garlic chives too lol!)
