Rant time

Can i get just one growing season that isn’t rife with problems that end up ruining my babies path to health? There’s always something during the summer that sets my plants back so ridiculously far and i think pretty much all of them happened this year. First having to live under a crappy plant light that I realized way too late was not enough for my succulents, then i got a new set and the babes were on the track to better growth. On top of that the cold weather lasted forever so i didn’t get to get them outside in the sunlight until pretty late. And then for awhile everything was fine, they got two months of peace and sunshine and then I had to move to a new apartment. They had to move from a bright, sunny west-facing balcony to a shaded east-facing balcony. AND THEN on top of all that it hasn’t stopped raining for like a month and my babes are so waterlogged it’s not even funny, but this week it finally stopped so they’re slowly drying out and I’m going to have to behead some of them to keep some from rotting. also since this new apartments balcony is right next to a giant tree that provides lots of shade i now have to deal with some real asshole squirrels who dug up all my herbs and ate my three year old black prince echeveria (LIKE COMPLETELY ATE IT OR DRAGGED IT OUT OF ITS POT BECAUSE I COULDN’T FIND IT ON THE GROUND OR ANYTHING, JUST AN EMPTY POT).
