    Another bumper crop of misery and anguish, here's to a productive 2023.

    As a final-final update to this year's glog, that I feel summarizes things nicely: My black jalapeno plant has died. Not only has it died, but apparently I reused some soil from some tomato seeds I'd given up on, because I now have two vibrant and lush tomato plants growing out of my black...

    I guess I live here now.

    I made a glog to celebrate my love of peppers. I planted dozens of seeds. Dozens! And into them I poured all of my love and hopes and dreams and caring. They spat upon my love as they fled this plane of existence, one after the other, choosing death over an existence with me. So I cut open...

    Aphids on potato plant indoors, during winter.

    Submitted for consideration: https://www.amazon.ca/FIRSTONE-Mosquito-Netting-Hunting-Greenhouse/dp/B07KRD9N99/ https://www.planetnatural.com/product/live-ladybugs/ Net them so the ladybugs can't escape, and then release a swarm of starving predators into their midst. Bonus points if you or...

    What the hell, let's do a closing photo. Behold, my glorious peppers. My wonderful peppers. The peppers, which are the focus of my obsession and literally all that I care about. BEHOLD. SO MANY PEPPERS. Edit: No, not those. Ignore those tomatoes. Stupid tomatoes. On a 100% unrelated...

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll make some time to dig through em soon.

    I have under a 20% success rate with every pepper I tried this year. I won't go into specifics because it makes me mindbogglingly sad. A while back, I cut open a grocery store tomato and took its seeds. 11 out of 12 from the first batch are growing like bastards, and 4 of 12 from the second...

    My wife has informed me that I'm not supposed to post pictures of our murder-dungeon to the general internet anymore. As if you guys keep your murder-dungeons any more presentable.

    I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.

    HPS I think. My phone camera doesn't truly capture its brilliance, but there's a non-zero chance that this purple spot in the middle of my vision is now permanent.

    Eh, his stuff's always grown true for me. Anything's possible, but I don't think I've been going crazy with the moisture and they don't seem overly fuzzy. One of these years I should probably try growing things like a grown-up would do instead of whatever the hell I do.

    I'm already getting a decent collection of failures. Usually once they pop out of their seeds they make it long enough to start growing some extra leaves, but these poor little bastards took one look around their new home and have apparently decided to end things. But these two seem to be...

    Noisy / Dirty power? I dunno, sounded like voodoo to me, but they sent a tech out and everything. They did finally convince me, but like I say... Me being able to affect their service definitely sounded it should be a "them" problem.

    I have an old beast of a grow light that I don't use any more. It actually noticeably heated and dehumidified my basement while it was running. It warmed my skin and standing near it felt like I was frolicking in a sunlit meadow. You probably could've checked my bone health by holding an xray...

    This poor little guy didn't exactly pop out of his seed thriving. Maybe I need Cyndi Lauper to sing True Colors at him to get him to show a little green.
