looking into growing sunflowers rn! so i have a question, if u dont mind! :33 what variety and/or tips would u recommend to someone who has semi limited gardening knowledge ? ive grown tomatoes and cucumbers but not especially well, and this is my first year rlly putting full energy into gardening! im a little intimidated tbh lol :p theyre just so stunning

ooooh sunflowers 😍😍 good news! they're super easy to grow! BUT... but but but... always a catch: sunflowers suck out a lot of the nutrients in the soil - or put toxins in the soil. depends on who you ask. the internet isn't really sure which one it is. the point, though, is they do NOT want to be planted alongside any other plant!! any type of sunflowrs all next to each other, don't care. happy as can be. but the second you want to put any sunflower next to anything else... anything else gonna struggle. SO! with that in mind... i would recommend the sunniest spot in the entire available area and grow a biiiig patch of them suckers! make them all nustled in to each other, 4 to 6 inches apart is just fine and that way they will hug each other and not fall down on their own. and the soil doesn't matter. around here there is clay, and they grow fine in clay too. sand is okkkk... just need a little extra watering. and sunflowers do love water - so if it hasn't rained in about 2 days then give it a good watering.

also - if you are able - start the seeds indoors. squirrels and mice and birds love sunflower seeds to eat just as much as we do, so if you direct sow them into the ground then they could be eaten! find a pot and fill it with the seeds, cover with soil about 1 inch deep, keep it moist, and once they sprout in about a week and they're about 2 inches tall, transplant outside! they don't mind getting roughed up, so don't freak out if your first time starting from seed -> transplant.

as far as varieties... to be honest whatever one looks the prettiest to you!! they all have the same needs, it's just more how they were bred to look rather than how to grow. my favorite is the mammoth sunflower, simply because they live up to their name and get taller than our one story house!! either visit a local hardware or garden store or go online and just look at sunflower varieties! if you can't choose then do what i do and close your eyes and pick 🫣👉🌼

hope that helps!! 🌼💚🌱

Stockholm Week 13: Ready for Iceland?  

I had my full week of school after Malta -- I deeply considered going to Amsterdam, but I knew that I’d get more stressed about the work I would have to do before and after the trip than living my time in Amsterdam. Also, I need to leave a couple of reasons (Amsterdam’s tulip festival, Portugal’s egg tarts, Greece’s scenery in Santorini) to come back to Europe someday ;) 

4/8 Mon: 

I fell asleep while writing the blog last night. As soon as I woke up, I got ready to start another day. 

Although we did not have classes as it was the last day of Easter break, I still met up with my teammates at DIS for group work for the Engineering Sustainable Environment course. 

Afterward, I did homework for my online course and went to a virtual office hour to ask questions. Then, I finished reading The Wolf and the Watchman for class tomorrow.

It is important to keep track of your assignments during the study abroad semester because it is easy to lose a couple of assignments when you’re balancing life and traveling with school!  

4/9 Tue: Restaurant 

Great way to wake up: leave your wallet with all the transportation + student ID + credit cards in your house! 

As soon as I realized that I left my wallet on the desk, I ran back to my room and ran to the metro station again. 

During class while we were talking about food (daily conversational topic), my friend and I  spontaneously chose to eat out. It was very sunny outside, so we “decided” (she convinced me) to walk for 20 minutes instead of taking the bus for 15 minutes.

On the way to the restaurant, she took me to a bakery called Mr. Cake and introduced me to the red velvet croissant. It had a cream cheese filling with red velvet chocolate on top. 

I took a bite and understood the hype – so good.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ 

The ramen was good but it could've been more spicy in my opinion.

I recently fell in love with being horizontal in my bed without doing anything. And that’s what I did for three hours after lunch (I blame the food coma). But as a good student, I finished what I had to do before going to bed. 

4/10 Wed: Field Study 

We had a field study about the book we are reading for class (The Wolf and the Watchman) in Gamla Stan. It was extremely windy, especially because we were right next to the water. 

I couldn’t go home without poking all the second-hand stores. Slussen was my destination for the day as it had rows of thrift stores and regular clothing stores. To start off, I got a denim jacket and jean shorts in thrift stores. Due to my forgetfulness, I didn’t bring any shorts to Stockholm – thus, I didn’t have an option other than buying the LEE shorts in perfect condition.

Later, the sale stickers enticed me to go into stores like Monkl and Bik Bok. Monkl was on their ultimate sale before their closing in late April. This sale with an additional student discount of 11% made everything even cheaper than thrift stores. I got a pair of sunglasses in each store :) 

This is one of them

At night, we had a game night in our room. It became a chit-chat night rather than a game night, but it was fun nonetheless. 

My new favorite non-alcoholic drink!

4/11 Thu: 

Eating out two days in a row! 

I need to stop talking about food with my friends because that’s exactly what led us to get sushi for lunch. 

Noburu sushi was packed as always - we almost didn't get to sit down!

I took a short walk around our neighborhood before going home. The hill nearby has a good walking path that I should take more advantage of. 

Sprouts are sprouting 🌱

Hours passed doing homework. When I mindlessly glanced over the windows, I saw a spectacular view. I lost track of time watching outside and feeling the wind.  

I love our room – it has the best views 

4/12 Fri:

In our crime fiction class, we watched the last episode of the Netflix series The Chestnut Man. Although the end wasn’t quite how I imagined, it was still a great series. 

To satisfy my craving for bubble tea I did TooGoodToGo from Happy Sweet Potato. I was afraid that I wouldn’t get anything that I liked, but I didn’t need to worry — I got three different types of drinks, in addition to a whole cup full of coconut jelly and pudding. I gave brown sugar bubble tea to my friend, drank the fruit tea myself, and saved the last one in the refrigerator. 

I definitely will buy from here again! 

For dinner, I used up mushrooms, onions, cabbage, and one last egg to clean out the fridge before leaving for a long vacation.

Am I getting better at plating too?

4/13 Sat:

I finished upcoming assignments so that I wouldn’t have to worry about them during the long study tour. 

Packing for Iceland didn’t take long as I just had to stuff my carry-on with layers and long sleeves. I thought I was done with 30-degree weather but no :( 

4/14 Sun:  

I took the free route to the airport for the first time. DIS only provides single-way transport reimbursement and I figured I would want to take the easy way back to Stockholm after a long trip. 

It wasn’t as complicated as expected! 

We flew in through Icelandair and got a group dinner as the very first activity. Although DIS covered our dinner, I couldn’t stop getting shocked at the price. The cheapest beer was $12! Nonetheless, I got a Raspberry Sour beer and it was one of the best beers I’ve had. Not too sweet but not too sour! It refreshed my mouth and reignited my appetite :)  The best of the best was the dessert, Icelandic raspberry cheesecake. It was more like cream pie since the density wasn’t as thick as a cheesecake. I scraped every last bit of the cake off the plate. 

Iceland is an expert in desserts  

8 pm in Iceland was still bright.

A couple of us strolled around the neighborhood to see the sunset. The lake 3-minutes away from our hotel absorbed and reflected all the colors from the sunset – the silent scenery of the swimming swans and scattering sunlight was a piece of art. 

We almost discarded our original plan to see the sunset just to stay and watch the view for the rest of the night 

The sky was too cloudy to see the sunset but we still went to the viewpoint near the water.

Reflection of the cloudy sunset

We got through the wind and took some pictures before going to sleep. 

Embracing the wind <3

The first full day in Iceland will be the next post! 

Come back to check it out :) 

Thank you,

Miyase Go's Greenhouse🌱🌷

This is one of my favorite scene (because I love floral and plant things🌿⚘) so far in the anime. I'd love to go to his greenhouse (if he let me lol) and learning about botanical things, especially about flowers with him!

"How to care for a flower depends on what kind it is. But it's very nice things seeing them sprout just how you wanted." ー Miyase Go, 2019 (Stand My Heroes episode 8)

All Things Comfort : Pork Sinigang! 🤗💖 Sinigang has always been my all-time favorite dish growing up! It’s a Sour Tamarind Based Soup with a variety of vegetables. I used what I could find/had on hand, so it’s not 10000% traditional! This one has Pork, Tomatoes, Garlic, Onions, Tamarind, Bok Choy, Bean Sprouts, King Trumpet Mushrooms, Okra and Serrano Peppers (generally for the flavor, but I’ve always eaten them)! If ya know me, you know that soup has always been the way to my heart, especially this one! ;) #PostpartumHealing #OrganicAlways #LetFoodBeThyMedicine 🌱♥️ #MedicineMama111 #TheBestOfTimes 💫 #TheLoveInMyLife (at Santa Cruz, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJQIWGP81F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“roses are red, violets are blue,

hey fellow carat! can i make a gift for you?”

(…… i’m so sorry skhdksjf)

hi there dreamy! (your name is so adorbs btw) it’s me — your secret carat admirer! i hope you had a great weekend! i’m gonna start off by asking: who are your top fave members and dynamics? what is your favorite gose episode? - 🌱

OMG YAY IM SO EXCITED!!!!!! I cant wait to know you my lil sprout 🥺

ok so obviously number one in my heart is cheol 😔 but my bias line is pretty big... its Gyu, Woozi, Vernon, Dino, and Jun asdgfkl I'm gonna have everyone by the end I jsut keep adding members because theyre too much.

Cheolgyu... obviously ( i feel so predictable ) is my absolute favorite dynamic, its very big brother little brother except cheol is definitely actually the little brother lol I also really love 97lines dynamic. Theyre all incredibly different in personality, but they somehow fit together really well!

Favorite GOSE would probably be the really recent one where they played classroom games! I was laughing so hard, I was literally crying through it! I hope they do it again with china line especially because i think Jun's sense of humor is so perfect for that kind of setting!

What about youuuu? who are you biases and stuff???? and dont worry about it being something that might give you away because i am very very bad at connecting dots asfxdg

[theharrowing]

hey!!!! Idk if you have answered these before, but i wanna know hehe

If you had to give up your keyboard and write your stories exclusively by hand, could you do it? If you already write everything by hand, a) are you a wizard and b) pen or pencil?

What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?

I love you!!!

JIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! 💖💖💖

2. If you had to give up your keyboard and write your stories exclusively by hand, could you do it? If you already write everything by hand, a) are you a wizard and b) pen or pencil?

if i had to give up my keyboard, i could write by hand, but it might be a mess. my handwriting is a weird half-cursive style that gets sloppy as i become more and more tired. hopefully i can become a wizard before this happens. i would use a pen. probably a felt-tip pen in a nice bright blue or a dark purple.

3. What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?

unfortunately, in order to write as much as i do, i have traded my sanity to a dark, celestial being. before i write, i have to lay out a circle of miscellaneous rocks that i find interesting, and then say a prayer to the dark being, thanking them for their gracious gift of storytelling, thus solidifying my end of the agreement (i think they are narcissistic and just like to hear my praises.) then, i put my hands in the air, and little beams of magic appear from the ceiling and fill my fingertips with a tingling power. i just type, and the words come out all on their own; i hardly use my actual brain at all.

send me some weird asks!
