Starting seeds and shuffling around

First thing: I replanted my lemon and outher thing into larger pots with some hormone stuff (myke I used too much but that's kinda what I do) I have this sealed to hero humidity in as it seemed much better in the sealed ziplock to in open air --to me it looks like it's really trying and I've wanted a lemon for a while 

There's the outher plant --it's not as sealed up 

Here's what I've got planted --this winter has been so screwy and let's face it most of my seeds are older so I can only hope for the best there on the heating mat right now 

My understanding: this was the logo used in the Masaru emoto water tests to get the "best" looking --years ago I had these on my water bottles that I drank but I'm to that stuff at times 

And what I planted in the square --I'll type it up next week when I get my larger one planted till then I have to pull my normal crazy hours (5:30-2 then 3-11) and Monday is gonna be hyper ocd cleaning then with any luck I'll have an air bed to sleep on but I don't know how it will end up just that I have more to plant 

Editing a couple hours later when I should be sleeping to add a pic: there's resurrection plants opening up along with sencative plant seeds planted the lemon and it's buddy all in zip locks there gonna be under the light when it goes on later on 

Odd winter

So it's been mostly dry this winter has snowed some but not even a 5th of what I'd expect it's just confusing and driving me crazy but that seems the trend lately 

So we went back to millagers to do another couple fae gardens a while back (I've been busy with work and I should be doing this Monday but I'm an hour early) 

I also ended up with a fresh lemon cutting and I've been wanting to grow a lemon for a while it appears to be doing pretty good in its little water-home thing 

Here's both the cuttings just after I got them by now the tropical looks better but the lemons leaves are drying up some but it looks like a root is starting to come out from the bottom so I'm not giving up hope till its dry and brown 

The stuff in it is paper towel when I got them I threw in a dog poop bag with damp paper towel and tied the top to try to preserve then I cut the tip from the bottom so it would be a fresh cut into water 

Next are pics of most of them 

Above one of the new ones and a good point to talk to people that pretty verigated up front? No water on it it prefers water from the sides 

From the top opening 

And on the side 

And the 2nd one we did 

Older one that's in her room 

And the more recent pics 

Terrariums

A couple days ago we decided to make some terrariums well it started as redoing the one then ended up we found another container so are doing 2 and then yea now we have 3 2 are overdone ones kinda leftovers and another I got kinda crazy with so meh and sadly I don't know many/any of the plants aside from some are ferns we also got the supplies for them as well 

This was while I was trying to lay out mine pick out the best plants and such 

After we got home I decided to tear the old dry one apart and I found green! So I tryied so save what little I could it's some kinda fern that's all I know 

Here's the container we were gonna redo then became mine --it's way overdone! 

If you look closely you'll see some leaves/such I trimmed then played with should have gotten individual pics 

And there's some ponytail palm in there as well scattered about --one of the few I know the name of 

There's the one with what survived it's defo got way too much in it! But that's just the extras/leftovers from what wouldn't fit in mine and wasn't wanted in the outher one 

And here's the big one and how it looks far fewer plants then mine has so it looks we had the option to go get another this size but I opted not to so meh 

Hopefully if anyone sees they can get some ideals --some of the decos are dollar store so I'd say stop there before anywhere when looking around so you know what you have as options atleast --we do have extra stuff leftover but I'm sure it will get used somehow so I'm not too concerned there 

Have fun! 

First snow and some fish

We had our first snow last night and my mom (the compulsive liar!) promised I'd get a 400 buck visa prepaid card for my birthday if I left everything out (she said she would buy everything next year and yea goes from there we ended up coming to the 400 as a Visa card) so I hope I really don't loose everything and have to pay for all of it again by myself (like I've been doing these last few years--I easily drop a few hundred and i intend to get blueberries and replace my goji and that which aren't cheap things) 

In addition to that fun I have 2 bettas 

Here's both tanks setup we got the one in the red tank at meijer just after the price went up on them (he is a crowntail) 

Then later I got another one

Labelled as "baby boy" but on placing near my male got eggy (that's her eggy water is shoddy from me trying to improve it) well I ended up putting her into water that was too hot and was able to use the petco 30 day life guarantee to get another one 

That's the one the female was replaced with claimed "double tail male" honestly I think he was the best looking of what was there even of the more expensive ones 

The fish water has a lot of ammonia from the fish and I've heard can be used as fert I also have a smaller tank that I'll setup just while I'm cleaning out there tanks or that but truly they should have 2+ gallons each nor the half gallons I have them in 

And there's what my indoor plants look like they've been fed the fishwater a couple times 

I also intend to get some plants for the fish tanks to help water quality some 

We'll see y'all when I do I have to work today and thanksgiving too 

Older post gonna retry submitting it as shows failedv

Possible plant tags?

Just wanted to say watch everything 

To me these plastic knives scream plant tags but you need a neon or metallic sharpie I asked about them being biodegradable and was told a hundred years I was concerned 6 months or so --so I was at gfs and told what my thought was they thought it was really clever sounds like for the price should work well for when I get seeds going 

Still alive! Indoor plants and seed updates

So I only have the one pic atm my hydro aren't growing but I have a bunch of seeds drying as well on the plates some tomatoes sunberries and the cran/Pom that I think I'm ruining but meh lol 

It's been busy at work and I've had plenty going on as well 

Herb processing

My steps are as follows: put herb in ninja and blend some you'll need to add something to to help it blend better I find once frozen oil lasts longer then water but be smart about how it's used too 

Once blended well (I had to add some water be careful as too much can happen quickly) 

Transfer to named and dated ziplock lay on something flat and freeze (once frozen I stick them in the door) 

The rungs in my freezer (side-by-side) don't always work well and some of the top bags are a little thick you'll get a feel for how it goes 

Then once you need break off a chunk and use it as desired lazy enough but also works well enough for me 

Note: that's the personal size cup on the ninja 1500 it can mince anything at all smooth or danged near whatever works for you feel free to use it but I do stuff as full as possible I've learned the limits of my ninja well worth knowing I think 

Have fun y'all and good luck!
