What did you accomplish today?

This is my horoscope for today:
A casual discussion with a friend or neighbor may inspire you to think about new ways to feed your piggy bank. A farmers market, county fair, or community event might be a picture-perfect opportunity to generate sales, do some bartering, or to gain much-needed publicity. This chance to promote your brand is an excellent reason for your current excitement. Reaching out and enjoying amicable conversation today could be the start of something big. Motivation runs fast and furious when visions of dollar signs are dancing in your head.
I can't even sell the damn tomatoes my son started so they must be talking about something else...

Careful, it could attract unwanted bugz -- fungus gnats for sure if you keep your coco wet.

A tea might be good... :roll:

nnah I'm more in the forget to water it for a few days camp. But the stupid gnats go to the tables with the plastic and rock wool, so they just don't really survive in that room.
I used to have endless problems with them when I only ran coco.

Another day at the salt mine. I got in early, smoked a couple three one hitters of Sleepy {Powernap X Sinmint Cookies}, gave the rooms being used today the once over, then watered the lobby plants. That is a Monday night job most weeks, but the tree and rootball removal guy had busted our waterline too late in the day on Monday to get it fixed.

The wife will be coming here to meet her buddy. They are going to the funeral together. We got in and out of the viewing fast last night. I saw a few folks, but didn't feel comfortable being away from work too long.

just made some tuna salad...
The easiest meal ever, just boil up some pasta, strain water off, mix in enough mayonnaise to just lubricate things, then add a bit of tomato sauce. light salad on the side.

Snow?

It's supposed to get 90 F here in Portland today and it's only May 11th. It's crazy hot for this time of year. If my friend can get away from the chores his wife wants him to do we plan on going wakeboarding later today.
We're only headed to 83 today. Not often it's hotter up there than here.

In my experience, sunflowers are heavy feeders.

A little known sunflower fact, many varieties put out a chemical from their roots to kill other plants and stop germination so they don't have to compete. It's why I started growing them. I plant them along borders I don't want to deal with weeding or mowing. Beans and peas are supposed to grow around them and make a good companion cause the sunflower stalk acts as a trellis for the vines.
but 20-20-20 once a week should be fine right? i'mma try feed 1 and a half dosage see what happens or just feed more often they are not using up a lot of water though

We'll be dropping back down into the upper sixties by Thursday which is where we normally are for this time of the year. The garden sure loves this heat. My plants are growing like crazy. I always gamble and get stuff out early. This year it paid off.

Although if it is on your property it doesn't matter.
Exactly! Lol

It’s pretty much any mechanized equipment that has been banned without a permit. And they don’t make it easy to get a permit.

The highbank combo i’ll prob get will only have a 2.5” nozzle.

There’s actually an argument prospectors are using when on federal/blm land and last I heard they’re winning the argument when questioned.

got called into work early just said yes cause i figured i make some hours back at least. i find it weird that they called me in early though most likely means something is up. either someone quit, or someone call in sick. i know a lot of my coworkers been wanting to quit for a while now. only reason im still there is because funds is low and idk how long it would take to find a job quite a few job openings near me though so if i can land them then yea much better transportation.

idk what imma do stressing out too much about this car shit tbh lol sucks living in a state that heavily relies on a personal vehicle with shitty public transportation and cost of everything is through the roof.

I'm a big fan Neptune's Harvest liquid fish/seaweed fertilizer mix, which is a 2-3-1. If they look ok, I wouldn't go giving them a heavy feeding, I'd try more often, just smaller amounts.

I scrubbed my kitchen floor, mopped twice, then I did a 20% bleach solution soak to brighten it up.... and it only looks marginally better. Next time I'm just dragging a wet wipe around with my foot.:roll: I tried shampooing the carpet a few weeks ago and it, also, did nothing noticeable, even though the water turned black. I still have to dust or vacuum my ceilings, stupid textured plaster catches every cat hair and piece of dust. I want to sand it smooth just not looking forward to covering 2 rooms in plastic and working overhead for a few hours, my neck hurts just thinking about it. Some single mother just stopped to look at the truck I'm selling. I know that cause she said how hard it was affording a car as a single mother at least a dozen times. No shit, cars are expensive. And her kid was a little smart mouth 13yo who kept saying he wanted a jeep, not a truck, and telling her she looked dumb in it. I wanted to backhand him into the side of the truck, so glad I never had kids.

sunflowers do best with something light - in my experience.

they dont repsond well to high doses. so maybe just try some 3-3-3 - like some organic chicken shit or something.
ooo all the websites i went to don't even specify NPK ratio's to give um only one that does was the miracle grow and i figure i try that. i mean they are getting pretty fucking huge but the issue is they look nitrogen deficent i was thinking nutrient lockout at first but it looks more like nitrogen defiency. i'll try swap over to a low NPK ratio see how they fair.
