The Greenhouse outcome is proving magnificent. I could cultivate a banana tree in there. A short, fat one. The 72 seeds are beyond sprouted, except one row, and forming crochet loops around each other.  The roots are so strong they’re embedded into the peat pod tray thing.

Things are not looking good on the arugula plant (the Rocket). Say a decade of the rosary if you’re that way inclined. Next 72 hours are critical. I think it would be simpler to get a 30 cent packet of seeds sent via An Post.

There’s a rumour my cucumber plant is a squash plant. Hence no cucumbers. It has billowing orange flowers. Verdict?

And yeah, literature …

Remain In Juan Butler land. Glad to have done so. Canadian Heating Oil is fascinating. But I am attempting to read them in the sequence he wrote them, so have hid it under a phone book and am actively reading novel #2 The Garbageman.
