  1. Some time ago I caught sight of a little maya bird ๐Ÿฆ plucking a leaf off my little #calamansi ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ plant and flying off with it. 'Twas cute. ๐Ÿ˜„

    Well, today I discover that all* the leaves have been plucked off of it. The #birds left the 3 little fruits and and made a mess of the little pebbles. I guess that's the end of my ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ plant. โ˜น๏ธ

    I mean, what are the odds that any new leaf ๐ŸŒฟ will sprout? It hasn't made any new ones since I bought it last year.

  2. Once again my #desertRose ๐ŸŒน blooms! ๐Ÿฅฐ This is the most #flowers it's ever had -- 3 in full bloom, 1 about to unravel big time, and 1 little bud in the middle. Yes yes, it's still alive. ๐Ÿซฃ I think it's my longest living [surviving] plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚!

    Yeah yeah, I'm still awake. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ Such cool lovely #weather today for a #bike ride, but because I haven't slept in a couple of days I really can't be riding or driving anywhere. Bummer. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฒ

  3. SF Bay gardeners, do you compost in your yard? Would you recommend it for yard waste?

    San Francisco collects compost and Iโ€™ve been sending kitchen scraps to city compost. Now that Iโ€™m finally working on my garden, Iโ€™m producing a lot of scraps from weeds, dead leaves, trimmings and so on. It seems almost wasteful to just have the city haul it away to compost and then pay for compost dirt later. But maybe itโ€™s not?

  4. Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness!! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒด

    The little buds are getting bigger and they now have some pink color in them. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Checked for bugs. ๐Ÿ”Ž Zero. Looking good. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘

  5. Wow. ๐Ÿ˜ณ In less than an hour, the droopy #Celosia got all perky after watering. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

    The orange one seems much* thirstier than the crimson one. It gets really* droopy. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Been needing to water it every 2 days.

    I find the difference in behavior strange since, except for the color of the flowers, they look like the exact same variety. To me, anyway. #clueless #YellowThumbs #plants #EducateMePlease #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

  6. Just checked on my #DesertRose. ๐Ÿ”Ž๐ŸŒด

    Bugs or buds? ๐Ÿ˜ถ

    Those have* to be buds.
    Right?
    Right?!
    Somebody tell me I'm right.
    My eyesight can't be that bad.
    ๐Ÿ˜…

    No more bugs, please. ๐Ÿ™

    Relax. I haven't killed my #DesertRose, #pothos and #sansevieria. Yet. They're all still alive. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

    Now I must look up how to not kill my new plants. #YellowThumbs #celosia #woolflowers #mfungu #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

    Thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™ The #DesertRose is getting plenty of sun, from sunrise till around noon. I've only had it for 5 weeks. It grew a good deal of new leaves till the mealybugs showed up and the leaves started falling off. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ So far, no more yellowing/dropping leaves. ๐Ÿคž

    It's warm here most of the year. Cool #weather is rare. Strong winds and heavy rain (and my #YellowThumbs) are quite problematic, but not cold temperatures. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

  13. My #hydroponics attempt was a fail. No idea if I did it right. Instruction was: let water sit, mix in 5ml of Solution A, mix in 5ml of Solution B. Days later I see yellow powdery stuff in the bottom of my li'l hydroponic tub. Dunno if that's normal. I waited. Observed. So anyway, my lettuce didn't survive. ๐Ÿ˜

    I'm now trying a Rocket Arugula grow kit. I really prefer to not deal with soil, but maybe this'll work for my #YellowThumbs. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

  14. It takes a while to edit videos - this garden tour is already out of date. There are many more plants now.

    Do you just pick the leaves and put them straight in hot water a-la-Turkish tea? I mean, no drying process. I imagine that's going to be very mild tea.

    And do you think they'll be okay in a mini hydroponic setup? Or do they grow too large? Your setup there looks cute. Will they stay there or will you be moving them later?

    I think I can only do hydroponics with my #YellowThumbs. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
