Trying something new- Left side, added ~1/4 inch chunky perlite to top of good soil, dropped in a bunch of arugula seeds, and then watered with higher pressure (to bury seeds). Fabric pot on top of bottom-up self-watering system. Now we see what happens… 🌱

My plants are evidence that if I had a bear, I would most certainly over-water it.

Lettuce. Should have a lot more, but the bottom-watering of these planters, combined with not enough perlite in the soil, lead to many of the seeds failing due to excess water. Always learning.

Indoor Garden Guy @koryk.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

This is a failure. One plant out of 10 seeds. What happened? I’ve been experimenting with bottom-watering for convenience, but the soil is not draining fast enough and the seeds/seedlings received too much moisture. Moving forward, I’ll amend the soil with more perlite Always learning.

Indoor growing tip: Don’t buy big grow lights, even if you have the space. Buy multiple smaller lights. When a single big light goes down, they are expensive to replace and your entire grow area goes dark until the replacement arrives. Multiple lights allow modular lighting and replacement. 🌱

Growing plants is like growing wealth. Both require a plan, constant attention, patience, and faith that what you are doing will have a worthwhile result. Both can go sideways due to no fault of your own. Both make all the work worthwhile when it does actually bear fruit. 💰 🌱

Growing plants indoors requires ongoing cleanup- leaves, dropped flowers, and stray dirt can quickly take over. Part of the process is regularly picking up debris, trimming leaves, and keeping it all looking organized. A shop vac helps. 🙂 #gardening #plants 🌱

Fresh Edamame! One of the great benefits of indoor #gardening. I’m convinced fresh edamame tastes better than frozen. 🌱

Added a tower for the strawberries and buried some runners. The goal is to have enough strawberry production to have about a handful every few weeks... 🍓 🌱

Indoor #Gardening Tip: 16 qts of potting mix fits perfectly into one cat litter bucket. Easier to scoop from, a handle to carry, and you can stack them! 🌱

Big fan of “Big Leaf Energy” spray. Neem oil based, but without the horrid smell of neem oil. I’m impressed with how well it knocked out a recent spider mite invasion. Expensive by the bottle, but their concentrate is reasonably priced. Random tip from my journey of indoor #gardening 🌱 😁

Does my celery plant have a trunk? This one has been going for years and still produces perfectly fine stalks. It’s been going so long it has a… trunk? A celery trunk? I mean… it’s not quite a stem, right? The hard questions of indoor #gardening … 🌱 🪴

Anyone know anything about gogi berry plants? …because I don’t. Hopefully, his will fruit indoors? Still have nightmares about the 2 years I spent trying to grow raspberries only to learn that they need to overwinter in freezing temps to fruit.

Some of my favorite plants are in my office. A good example- two English Ivy plants growing up a metal rod in our meeting room for local clients. The “spotlights” are actually LED grow lights. I love the shadows the lights cast on the walls. Office #plants make work so much better. 🌱

Indoor Garden Guy @koryk.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

One of the challenges of indoor gardening is space. I planted some sugar snap peas and they are taking over- climbing on every other plant as they grow towards the lights. I could cut them back, but I respect their ambition. 😁 #gardening overly ambitious #plants

Help. I feel like my lemon plant has WAY too many flowers. There’s no way it can sustain this, right? Too much fertilizer? Too much light? 🤷🏻‍♂️ How do I find a lemon tree expert on Bluesky? 🍋 On a plus side, my garage smells amazing.

In this entry from his #Meditations, Marcus starts his day with the practice of premeditation malorum, meaning the "pre-meditation of evil". Originally part of Cyrenaic philosophy, the #Stoics adopted it for its ability to allow us to plan for & deal with things when they go "wrong" #stoicism

I move our Hibiscus plant inside over the winter and it flowers all winter long. 🌺 In other news, I have sugar snap peas aggressively taking over my grow tent, but more on that later… #gardening #flowers
