I know I haven’t posted much on this, but that’s because I haven’t had a lot of time to work on this at all.
But today I threw in a few minutes just to get some decent work-in-progress renders for you guys.
Here’s what I have so far.… Read the rest
Layout
I played around a little bit to try and organize the site better.
Now at the top there’ll be links to the latest VFX and Gardening updates just in case the front page gets crowded with useless stuff I ramble on about.
I’m still playing with ways to make each of the posts stick out and not form a huge cohesive blob of text. I don’t think the little black bars do it though.… Read the rest
Snow
It’s snowing in Power Springs, Georgia.
That doesn’t happen often, and there’s a LOT of it. Little flake grouplings almost the size of golfballs. It’s supposed to get colder and snow more, so if it’s drastically different tonight, I’ll post more.
This is a video/picture update. I’ve got a small video of the snow and the plants: (sorry for some of the shakiness in the beginning, I was cold)

Mini Update
I’ll keep this short and simple:
I don’t think my Moss Roses were dying from damping off. I forgot I had some left in their germination chamber and I looked at them today and there were almost twenty sprouts, all almost an inch high, holding up the top layer paper towel.
If they grew and survived in there, as humid and wet as that is, I doubt a little water killed them.
So I think they dried out.
I’m experimenting … Read the rest
*sigh*
Text update only today.
It’s amazing that in just three weeks all these plants have grown from just a little sprout to these leafed beasts. Plants are incredible things. They store all the nutriets they need until awaken and then grow and grow and grow. It’s amazing. Just a little sunlight, water, and CO2 can do that. I wonder what the life of a plant would be like. It’s kinda depressing. Sprout. Follow the sun. Wave around in the wind. … Read the rest
Swell
They are doing swell. Figured I’d give you an update on the plants because they’ve grown a lot. The sunflowers are liking the conditions.
New additions to this photo-batch include one of the new Zinnias, a new Sunflower I germinated from a bag of birdseed, and a tiny Moss Rose sprout I noticed today.
Birds
Took some pictures of my mom’s birds for her today.
Really some of the only photography I’ve done lately. Here’s the shoot.
Some turned out a little softer than others =/… Read the rest
Poor little
Roses =/ They went off and killed themselves.
Not really. They died from “damping off disease.” They actually prefer hot dry locations. But they need water to start up and get growing.
Well the day before yesterday I looked at them and they were all straight up in the air. Really thin plants, like the size of a piece of hair.
I sprayed them with a little water and the next day they’re all dead.
So this time I’ve combined … Read the rest
Organized
So I cleaned and organized my room to make space for all of this stuff.
All the newest pots are by the window, and once they sprout out of the dirt I’ve got a CFL attatched to my desk by the window that I’ll use to supplement the light.
The three pots that are the same size are all Zinnias, and the three different shaped pots closer to the window are all Moss Roses.… Read the rest
Today was
Great.
Almost every single seed I used to germinate the Moss Roses and Zinnia’s have sprouted by now. I’m amazed at how quickly that happens for them. They’re just sleeping and I give them a little prod and they wake up.
I’ve got all my pots organized and some soil in them (both pots and soil from my incredible hunnishnuckumbunch) and the seeds are sown.
Hopefully. The dirt didn’t like the water too much and a huge water bubble formed. … Read the rest
