What can I say? I'm catching 'em in snoozy and pinup-like positions.

If I went into the bedroom, I'd find Pussy, but she tends to curl into a kittyball.

Harley is chasing a big ol' fly. (No :fly: emoji? Fail!) I can hear it bonking against the glass trying to get out, and Harley leaps at it! The fly, and Harley, move down the hall, towards the bathroom.

😜 We've trained for this! We still play #KittyFetch with my pill blisters almost every day, and she often snags them midair.

While looking through the storage buckets for some tape, I came across the bag of Cannabis seeds my neighbor gave me, and it reminded me that in just a few months I'll be LARPing Johnny Appleseed (but with Cannabis) throughout the vineyards. (Cannabis and Grapes have very similar requirements.)

😜 This will not be a serious cropping attempt. My hope is that a few survive, and start the next cycle, and hopefully "wild weed" will become a thing in the Rhineland.

I may as well get this party started!

It's early, and I expect these will expire of exposure soon after transplant. It's more for getting a feel for the time scale involved when I start production lining it.

I don't know the genetics, subspecies, etc. #BirdSeedWeed?

I have some spots in mind for transplant if/when. They have to be relatively easy for me to clomp to. 😜 I can't very well plant 'em in between the vinerows.

Nothing has sprouted yet (duh!), and I watered.

In the meantime, ive decided here (around the base of these trees) would be a good spot for a trial. Easy to see from the benches.

I know they won't last long. It's a timetable measurement thing, not actual LARP. When I start transplanting en masse, they'll be much more secluded.

First sprouts! Now I know these take ~4 days to germinate.

I'll set 'em out when the 2nd set of leaves emerge, which should be in the coming week.

I set them under a small LED gro-light, which I neglected to do earlier.

3 are up, and I can see the stem coming out in 2 more.

The 4 peat pots in front are apple seeds. We have a big ol' pot that would support a tree or two. I intend to "bonsai"/torture one or two tree-lets into interesting shapes.

I'm also changing the thread privacy level to unlisted, so casual users and timelines don't get weed growing thrown in their faces.

5 of 6 are up. The 6th has a hump of loose peat, I suspect the sprout is right underneath. It'll probably pop up overnight.

The current plan is still to wait until 2nd set of leaves start to emerge before transplant.

If ya want pics, say so. *shrugs* It's just sprouts in peat pots under a rinkydink gro-light supported by cat food boxes.

Taproots are starting to poke out the bottom, and 2nd set of leaves starting.

There is rain predicted this afternoon, I'll go set these later this morning.

It's supposed to freeze over the weekend. Oh well.

😜 I am not doing anything illegal, AFAIK.

NOTE: This issue appears to be rectified. No further boosts are necessary. Thank you to those who did.

All of a sudden no images are loading. None. Every single one is a grey box.

I can click on 'em, and read AltText, but I can't SEE them.

On my laptop, it's saying "preview not available," but if I click, the image appears in a new tab.

Did I accidentally flip a switch somewhere? I can't find something that says "show images."

...aaand done.

Until the next one comes along.

Time for a dance!

*grabs the nearest Mermaid*

😜 Even though the 🚀boi/USAID/Starlink/Ukraine meme is solid gold, and I wanna boost it every time it crosses my timeline, I won't.

Y'all know why.

😜 Threw it a like, tho, cuz it *IS* good stuff, Maynard!

Besides, it's going like gangbusters (already in triple digits), so "everyone" is gonna see it anyway, and I don't have to be the asshole bitching about AltText.

Love knows no boundaries.

Eating just one billionaire would do more to prevent climate change than going vegan or never driving a car for the rest of your life.
