Literally not quite sure how this is feasibly happening buuuutttttt....
[I'll take the wins where I can get 'em. Heh]
Seed Starter Tray #2 was the tray that became the virtual battleground, the boxing ring...the fucking octagon I suppose...in my 2019 war with my gardening arch nemesis. It was while I was sowing my seeds into that tray #2 that I spotted they who shall not be named. As is the only smart course of action as common sense has it, I ceased my sowing operation in that soil and made my best effort to remove the seeds I had already placed so as to conserve my supply and commenced OPERATION: ERASE THE GNAT 2K19 (2.0) by unleashed a blitzkrieg of fungicides and pinterest trending DIY insecticides. You know...those state-of-the-art weapons I have in my arsenal. Naturally, I abandoned this tray on the porch in hopes that our recent bone-chilling freeze would off the bastards and it looked like I succeeded every time I happened to glance at it whilst taking Spectre out to his chain.
So TODAY IS LITERALLY SUMMER AND MARY POPPINS LEVEL PERFECT so I have been supervising Spectre the psycho-dog's fresh air hangouts while I putzed around the porch and re-situated my potted outdoor plants that havehopefully made their final migration of the cold season for the year, I happened to notice a few....SEEDLINGS sprouting their little hearts out in that previous forsaken tray. My best conservation effort must not have been 100% and despite all odds....
I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I HAVE TOMATO 'SWEETIE' & 'BLACK CHERRY' SEEDLINGS GERMINATED!!
**Cue the Rocky theme song**
***UPDATE*** [unrelated to ^ and quite opposite in sentiment] I uprooted my Spicy Cajun Bell Pepper plant (a carryover from last season) as I noticed it apparently decided it would rather die than acclimate to its recently acquired transplant solo environment. LAME because they were tasty little stinkers.
***PM UPDATE*** Uprooted 2 VERY tiny oak saplings while weeding, potted for potential bonsai piece. Also uprooted the youngest end of one of our ancient "Grandmother Morning Glory"'s tendrils while weeding around the Camphor tree she climbs. Trimmed appropriately and planted in a small hanging pot.
Learned that our lawn guy's visit is upon us and unfortunately, in regards to the massive amount of deceasing or dying plant debris in the yard-if I don't use it, I'll no doubt lose it to the mower. Tonight will be spent stooped over, furiously raking in hopes I pull at least some of it through themotherfucking Bahia grass to my pile which will, upon completion of its area, be wheeled over to a part of the yard which will be home to either a deep or raised bed, a row of plants, or a designated area for container plants to live. To kill the existing grass....and (who am i really kidding?) weeds and thus, clear the way for me to work soil and sow.
