I'm gonna start with the deception, cuz this is just so peak capitalism that I just can't even...
See that pretty little cactus up above?
What cute little flowers it's got right?
Nope.
#FAKE
They were HOT GLUED on y'all!!!
Hot fucking glued.
This is apparently common practice in order to sell them faster. (I got this one at home depot, but lots of stores do this I guess)
Well it did work. I remember thinking it looked so healthy with all the flowers. 😏
So now, i'm trying to figure out how I can gently remove this glue without absolutely murdering this cactus. 🤨
And then....
Then I spaced that I live in rainforest country and didn't cover my succulents on the garden bench last night.
Woke up this morning to a downpour happening and my poor big planters and platters got soaked. 😯
Moved them back to the garage to dry out and hurried up and cleaned the grow tent so I could move the rest in there.
I'm not sure why I didn't just do this in the first place. Learning curve I guess. Lol.
Got the tent all prepped and ready to go.
Light is on a timer, fan and ventilation in place...
With all the dry plants moved in.
Luckily, there's still room to put the big planters in the back and my trays on the other table once they are ready. phew
I feel like that was a close one. 😎
Hehe.
Alright, gonna end on a gardening win...
We've got sprouts happening!
Just the dill and one tiny little mint, but I'll take it!
😍💗
Now i'm off to do chores before I pick up the kids from school and take them for a play date at their friend's house. Fun fun.
Thanks for reading steem fam! ✌💗
