A bunch more germinated today. Mostly the same varieties that germinated yesterday, but there were a few new ones. There was one more fresno. I set it aside from the others because of the confusion I had with the scorpions yesterday. I can watch how they develop and compare them to make sure I have
So, I apparently misunderstood Beth when she was identifying this duck. She thought it might be a swedish black duck, not blue. But it could still be a hybrid. This is a picture she got of it.
It’s day 4 and 21 seeds have germinated! I wasn’t expecting anything for several more days. I guess I have some work to do now. I’ll need to get these guys into some little pots or something and find somewhere to put them. I may not have thought this through enough. So, these are the
It’s amazing! Just overnight one of the pepper seeds sprouted, grew into a mature plant, blossomed, and produced peppers! . . . April fools! Just kidding! Still no sprouts after three days…

Every year in late November I start lying to myself about how this will be the year that I put some seeds to sprout in December or early January. And every year around mid-June I sometimes manage to get around to it. This year is different. The Covid-19 situation has required me to mostly work
Insomnia and depression hit me really hard in the winter. Day after day of wet, dreary weather pushes me into a seasonal funk that keeps me from ever feeling fully awake or asleep. I only end up getting a few hours of broken sleep each night and often end up wide awake in the wee
