A Lost Soul
Hey Sapphire,
I hope to find all's well with you? Your gardens looking awesome btw, I did stop by yesterday but it was way too late at night to be trying to write a decent post. My words would have fallen apart like runny cat skat.
Bad news this end. Some swine of a creature had themselves a feast one night and worked their way through the buffet I layed out for them. Still haven't worked out what ate them, all the leaves were gone leaving only the main stem and on the tops of each pot was a pile of animal poop left in its place. The poop wasn't pellet like so not a rodent, it was more like the wriggly sand thing you see on the beach sometimes, almost as if someones squeezed out the toothpaste tube. Doesn't ring any bells with me though I am no poop expert.
5 survived the horror of watching their siblings being devoured and 2 of these don't look in a good way at all so I'm not expecting them to pull through. The 3 larger ones, to keep them safe, have been transplanted into the ground in a mini greenhouse type thing I've built in the garden.
They have been in there for 24 hours now and seem okay, no shock and even a little bit of growth.
To replace the fallen I shall be germinating a new batch of tester seeds. Unsure which to choose atm but give me a few hours and I'll have decided.
The Afghani cross (The Blitz) I have in the 32oz comp is also part of these tester seeds, will be interesting to see what happens.
Here's a some pics of each of the three outdoors, I'll upload some pictures of the sick babies tomorrow when I'm back in the garden (Day off work, woohoo!!!)
Luckily, I think I have been left with variety. I've figured two of them out Sapphire but there's one I'm still not sure about, I'm thinking it may be one of the photo Caramels. I hope so anyways.The remaining ones of these seeds I shall be growing indoors at some point during the year.

Mystery for now, but definately one of the photos....

moths and/or butterflies that have laid eggs in my buds 2 years in a row now... I'm smarter than those little f**kers this year, I hope... Anyway, your greenhouse design is great & you saved a TON by making it yourself. Could be something I look into next year if it turns out the mosquito net blocks too much light. (you can get a sunburn thru it, so I'm hoping it'll work)
