I heard underconsumption-core was trending so here’s my watering can. There’s one hole drilled into the top of the handle to allow air in so the water comes out of the cap smoothly. Is it aesthetic? No. Was it free (with purchase of oat milk and access to a drill with bits of varying sizes) and does it work? Yes!

¡Apartment Garden Cat!
falls asleep in the watering tray and gets her handkerchief all dirty!
falls asleep holding a leaf in her little paw!
falls asleep next to her giant cucumber son!

Hiked in the woods and sat by creeks, admired plants.
I'll be honest. For the last 4 months, I couldn't tell you what is happening in the world.
I've been out here vibing with plants when I ain't working or doing school.

I moved the catnip inside temporarily for 2 reasons. The first is because we have fleas ✨🥳✨ and learned that they don't like mint, and I didn't want to spray peppermint oil in my room because of the cat and essential oils being toxic to cats, so I just have the catnip plant in here to hopefully help. We also have diatomaceous earth scattered around (I was choking on it yesterday) and Rookie is now wearing a flea collar. Apartment pest services were also already scheduled for July 26th, so we should be clear of fleas by the time we move out in August. I'm not looking forward to packing (I hate moving), but thankfully unlike my parents homes, we've kept this place pretty clean and it's fairly small so cleaning every room when we go should be pretty easy. The non-packing chore I'm looking forward to the least is changing the shower head back to the landlord's, because it was hard enough to get the old one off and now the current one is just smooth. even if I use the pipe wrench, it's going to be hard to get enough friction to remove it . I don't know how I got it on, to be honest. At least I still have Teflon tape so I won't have to buy any new supplies.
The second reason is to give it a break from the heat since as you can see it's withering a little bit. I might have left it unwatered for a day longer than I should have by accident. I really, really want to put my plants in the ground where I can water them daily and they can freely put down roots :( darn this apartment life.
It will go back outside after a few days of acting as a flea repellent and monitoring for plant health.
The lavender, wand flower, basil, and wildflowers are all dead. The thyme is basically dead but I keep watering it because there are some green sprouts somehow hanging on. Leaving just the cacti, which are doing just fine in the heat. There's also a couple stray sunflowers still kicking in the wildflower box, I'm still watering them too.

May 22nd
My twin flowers are... ? Reaching for the stars? 🤭 I don't know why the petals are suddenly standing upright. Google doesn't seem to have an answer and PictureThis deems it healthy so I'm not gonna worry. Just curious and quite amused! I'll be deadheading these four blossoms in a couple days for tea, since I'm bringing them over to my sister's for a couple weeks anyway and I don't wanna shock them too much. There are plenty of new buds forming already, so I'll have new blooms soon enough!
My creeping woodsorrel meanwhile is very happily growing in its tiny makeshift home 🤭 It's still too babie to properly transplant into its own pot but considering how fast it grows I hope this is enough for the next two weeks. We shall see!

These seeds are from a banana pepper from my mom's patio garden. Will I be able to germinate and grow any of them? Don't know! But I'll certainly try, at least hydroponically and maybe also in soil. My new motto with gardening is "fuck around and find out"!

I messed up guys my garden I messed up I thought my thyme had germinated but the I saw the seed pod stuck to it
I put out the bird feed 3 weeks ago but I bought the seed like 3 months ago and my bf at the time was allergic to nuts so I got the only type of seed with no nuts in the mix guess what type of bird seed I got
Guess what type of seed I put in the bird feeder. Directly next to and above my wildflower planter and other pots. Guess what type of seed the birds flung all over my entire balcony including into the Thyme and wildflower planters where I've been watering daily to encourage germination.
Guess.
At first I thought it was thyme but the seed pod was too big and then I remembered @oh-he-grows mentioning in my last garden post that SUNFLOWERS tend to hang on to their seed pods a lot
guys I didnt mean to plant sunflowers. I didn't. It wasn't me it was the birds and now they're ALL IN MY WILDFLOWER PLANTER IN UNKNOWN NUMBERS!!!
IM GETTING SUNFLOWRS WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT
#My one comfort is that they don't release their toxin until they decompose (right???)#So as long as I dump the soil at the end of the year or just clear out the flowers and everything#It should be fine#Thank God it's in a container ??right?#I'm starting to regret pouring an ENTIRE large packet of seeds into a 1×1×3 container#Cuz now the plants are too densely populated for me to weed out the sunflowers or even pull out the seeds#Gardenblr#Gardening#Wildflowers#Sunflowers#Apartment life#Balcony garden#Apartment gardening
