#gameofplants and #plantvengers update. Sam, Bucky, Wanda, Ghost and Jon all have tomato flower buds! Wanda and Bucky were first and I’m so proud of them. I’m praying them my “plant playlist” to give them some celebration. I’ve decided they like listening to a lot of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and Irma Thomas. https://www.instagram.com/p/COGEt7FBAJe/?igshid=qajqut0f4wtx

#gameofplants and #plantvengers updates! It’s naming day today! (1) Sam and Bucky. 2 tomato plants that are super friends. (2) Jon and Ghost. 2 more tomato plants that shouldn’t ever leave each other. (3) Wanda bc she’s the only tomato plant to support herself without a trellis. Just like Marvel Wanda, she’s out there doing what she can to survive without anyone’s help. I will give her the emotional (and structural if she needs it) support the Avengers did not (please note Sam and Bucky are nearby and exempted from the criticism bc they were obviously dealing with their own shit and would have definitely helped the girl out) (4) Gilly. Daisies represent innocence and loyalty and Gilly was definitely both. (5) Talisa. Pansies symbolize admiration and she was definitely admirable. More so before she married Rob but I don’t blame her for sexist male writing. (6 & 7) Drogon and Rhaegal...my other 2 lemon balms. (8) Ygritte. This picture doesn’t fully show how large and in charge this plant is. The Snow Princess Marigold. Marigolds can symbolize passion, jealousy, and grief. Also, in Welsh tradition, they were used to predict the weather. They knew things. 😀 (9) Brienne. This is my dill plant. Dill is often used for protection and Brienne was definitely protective. (10) Catelyn. Feverfew. Fitting since she promised the gods she’d love Jon like a mother if he survived his fever as a child. Now she’ll have to help the whole house survive fevers. I’ve got a few more plants to name so stay tuned. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNnHqGch1En/?igshid=1ny28qkros0i4

#gameofplants update! (1 & 2) Peppers! I have 2 more kinds in the same size containers and 2 more still in their small seed pots. Total of 8 different kinds of peppers. (3) Tomatoes! This is my first year trying to grow a tomato. So far they seem to be doing okay. I planted some basil in the pots two because they are supposed to like that. (4) Dill. I actually don’t really like the taste of dill. I do, however, really like how fluffy the plant is. (5 & 6) 2nd plant shelf. I moved some to another window. All plants that are Ez friendly. (7) Dehydrating Onions. I had a bunch and will use them to make onion powder. (8) Crockpot vegetable broth made from veggie scraps. (9) Biscuits with honey! Just felt like making biscuits. Hope every is having a lovely Sunday. Please remember there is still a pandemic going on and we are no where close to having the majority of the population vaccinated. #staysafe #wearamask #thinkofothers https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQZ_mkhE8n/?igshid=1789qv95b9ozn

Got a lot accomplished today. Wasn’t really a restful day off but what can you do. (1) Pear Cardamom Bread (2) Irish Cream Bread Pudding (3) Cheddar Chive Irish Soda Bread (4) Guinness Beef Stew (5) Plant Colony 2. Moved some plants over to another ledge. All plants that are safe for Ez to stick her face in. (6) Tomato seedlings!! Stay safe everyone. #gameofplants #dayoffbaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CMacfmuhkpM/?igshid=10c22ef0ucfkl

Sunday activities. (1) Blackberry Jam! Got to use my immersion blender which is always fun. (2) Sourdough English Muffins—to be used in conjunction with the blackberry jam. (3) 2 more plants named. Meet Mando and Baby Yoda. These are the Safflower seedlings I planted. Growing fast! (4) Tomato seedlings are a go. (5 & 6) Peppers coming up. (7). Super cute fur child. Overall, planting is going well. As you can see, I am trying to reuse containers that would normally be trashed in an effort to save $$ & be environmentally conscious. The peppers are in mushroom containers and the tomatoes are in coffee bags. Stay safe y’all. #gameofplants #wearamask #stayhome https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIaaN6BIOi/?igshid=16s6vaj84g4fa

Day 2 of birthday time off. (1) Played some Night in the Woods before heading out to the grocery store. While normally I am opposed to chores around my birthday, I’m vaccinated and Brian’s venue starts allowing the stupid masses back in this week so it makes sense I would take over grocery runs. Came back and did some more seed sowing. (2 & 3) Peppers are in the ground! I have 6 different kinds: Chervena Chuscka, Fish, Cayenne, Paprika, Mini Chocolate Bell, and one that’s supposed to be good for mole sauces. I also planted some Feverfew and some Black Pansies. (4) Moved my lemon Basil and my snow princess marigolds to pots. Names to come soon. (5) Also planted Safflower and Horehound. (6) Carnitas meat cooking! #gameofplants #staysafe https://www.instagram.com/p/CLm1_Rgh2oi/?igshid=xmj0gt2glinv

#gameofplants #plantalorian update! (1) Got some seed planting done. On the list of items planted; Lime Basil, African Basil, Snow Princess Marigold, Lemon Balm, Sweet Mace, Dill, Moldavian Dragonbalm, Cinnamon Basil, Black Cumin, Chocalate Daisy (2) Dill seeds (3) Snow Princess seeds (4) Black Cumin seeds. Some of these seeds are super pretty! (5 & 6) Seeds planted and hanging out on warm mats with lights. (7) Lemon Basil is still going strong. We’ve got 2 new sets of leaves on a couple. I’m gonna give them a couple more days and then thin it out. I want to keep 2 so basically 2 of them currently fighting to the death. (8) Shiso Basil seedling!!! I was shocked. I thought it wasn’t going to do anything, but here we are. I’m taking it as a good omen for 2021. I gave it some encouraging words and uncovered it so it could soak up some light. Hope all of you are surrounded by love (whether it be romantic, friendly, or familial) today and always. #staysafe #wearamask https://www.instagram.com/p/CLR3pT9lqQd/?igshid=oep4amn3tmgy
