iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It’s been a rough week but Michael’s Off the Wall album has been getting me through it. I’ve listened to it every day this week.

I keep flowers all over the house but this bouquet is bringing me the most joy today. The colors are just beautiful.

Add a little whimsy to your life! Named my new home Casa Azul and got robes made. My home feels like a B&B and I’m obsessed 💙

I think my golden pothos likes its new home. I haven’t had marbling on the leaves in years. Now all the new leaves have marbling on them. I think I might propagate it once I get a few more leaves.

Trader Joe’s owes me some money because I just opened my apple chips and this is all they gave me 😡😡

I still love this song even though it’s like 15 years old. Nicole really could’ve done music too she is just so talented.

The joys of holiday week 🙌🏾. Turning off my sound so I don’t have to hear Teams alerts because everyone is on PTO so I don’t have any pings to listen out for.

Where are the big and tall men getting their sweatpants this days cause I know they’re not wearing these tight ass sweatpants. This is starting to piss me off.

I delayed the flowering to the strengthen the plant and so far I haven’t had to stake them even on the windy days. With all these flowers I’m about to have an abundance of bell peppers. 🌱

Persian cucumbers plus a new fertilizer routine has resulted in my first successful cucumber plant. I’ve harvested 4 and have more growing. The plant is actually still really healthy. In the past by now the plants were diseased and malnourished. Switching to potash and kelp was a game changer 🌱

Look at them now I basically have a little tree lol. I have hundreds of tomatoes. I keep thinning out the side branches and leaving the suckers which turn into more tomatoes. They’ve started to bush out instead of up which I like because this is already so tall. 🌱

BeauTee85 @beautee85.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

It’s so satisfying to be able to pluck things right off the plant when you feel like eating them. I rarely do full harvests I just grab what I need (and a little snack lol) 🌱

BeauTee85 @beautee85.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

To me the hardest part about growing in pots is not being able to find the kind of trellis I want. Managed to piece this together for my tomatoes to grow into 🌱

BeauTee85 @beautee85.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

I was right. My hair is 90% dry now. Curls are nice and poppin, hydrated, and defined without a trace of flaking. I’ll Definitely be using this combo again.

Salads with ingredients from my garden hit differently. This was absolutely Delicious!! I pickled the veggies in a strawberry rosé vinegar for a few hours first then mixed a little honey and oil to make a dressing with it. I will definitely be making it this way again.

BeauTee85 @beautee85.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

It wouldn’t be gardening without a garden mystery. I planted pepper seeds that I got out of a grocery store pepper just for fun but what’s growing is not a pepper plant. None of the image searches and plant apps agree on what this is. All I know is that the pepper was likely an F1 hybrid. 🌱

Currently on attempt number 6 with my cucumbers. This time I’m trying Persian cucumbers. Fingers crossed I manage to get a few 🌱

It’s officially my favorite season, Salad season!! Some days I eat like shit but the side salad from my garden balances it out and then I don’t feel bad about it 😂😂🌱

My lettuce box is coming along nicely! By this time next week I might be able to start making salads 🌱

Potatoes really are my favorite thing to grow because even with extreme neglect I manage to get potatoes 😂 As long as I make a nutrient dense soil I’m guaranteed results. I Always have a bag of potatoes growing. 🌱

Nearly a month after planting my pepper seeds have finally started sprouting. The weather is finally consistently warm enough now. My 2nd generation seeds saved from a pepper I grew in 2022. 🌱

Started getting lazy with my hair and it turned out to be the best thing, go figure. I wash every 7-10 days still but lately I just blow it out and let it be. No styling, no wash and go, no protective styles, and only a heatless wave when I’m feeling fancy 😂. My length retention has been crazy.

I hate when I fall in love with a dress and it doesn’t come in any other colors 😭 I would absolutely buy this dress 100 times over if it was in other colors.

His personality is so attractive to me and the fact that he looks scrumptious is a lovely bonus.

Universe is telling me I need to lay my ass down and do nothing. It’s bad enough that I’ve been struggling with vertigo all day but now allergies have entered the chat. I’m ridiculously congested and sinus pressure is getting worse 😭😭

Despite the broken plants I still managed to get some decent sized potatoes 🥳 celebrating because the last time I grew russets in a bag I ended up with One potato so this is progress!! 🌱

My phone is basically full of pictures of sweet pea flowers right now because I love how beautiful the transformation is. I love the parts that you don’t get to see when you buy it at the store. Home grown changes your relationship with your food 🌱

My potatoes in this bag have been drying down for the last two weeks. Wanted to see if they were ready yet so I stuck my hand about an inch or so down and found this baby. I think this bag is going to get harvested this weekend. 🌱

I remember how surprised I was to get a pink flower when all of them were white last time but now I’m getting all kinds of beautiful colors. Obsessed! 🌱

Just found these weird looking rollers that I apparently bought last year 🤷🏾‍♀️…since it’s wash day I guess I’ll experiment and see how these work.

The air quality in Long Beach is horrible right now. Went outside for a few minutes to water my garden and now I have a headache and labored breathing.

No I have aerial tubers. I want to pluck them off so they don’t take energy away from what’s growing in the dirt but was curious if I plant them will they keep growing and develop roots and potatoes

First female flower has sprouted after a week of mostly males. It’s almost time for manual cross pollination since I don’t have as many pollinators on my balcony. 🌱
