I've read that people quite successfully grow mushrooms in, say, a closet, since it's dark and temperature controlled in there and you can just spritz it with some water every so often to keep humidity ideal.

I don't believe they were particularly legal mushrooms in that discussion, though.

I think scriver had a funky little box like a year ago that just needed priming somehow and then it sprouted mushrooms out all over the place, though? It was like a cardboard house and then the mushrooms popped out the windows.

I grew the mushies in the closet. Used shredded cardboard.

Scriver liked the idea, and got the mushroom house kit.

I really should grow more mushies.

In both cases, they were perfectly legal food mushrooms. (Oyster mushroom)

Oh, of course, thanks for the correction.

Did I need to buy the sad-looking money plant from Aldi for nine bucks? Nooooo.

Did I do it anyways?

Yeaaaahhhh.

It might have gnats, so I've treated it with spray and sequestered it to the lit corner of the kitchen. Here's hoping it perks up neatly. I broke up the root ball of the unhappy Prince of Orange philodendron, so I'm hoping it starts recovering.The roots aren't super happy looking, but they're not, like, slimy/squishy, so it's not like root rot has taken hold.

Oh, and Murph Jr., the single-node propagation from the plant patriarch pothos, is growing another leaf. He's gonna turn four!

My fern is against all odds, still alive. Still, I am plagued by my own mistake - I have been growing these red and blue wiry plants for ages, and I have once again forgotten what the hell they are called, and lost the thing which has their name on it. I am not sure why they are asbestos red or cherenkov radiation blue either, so if I cannot discover their true name, assume I have become one with xenonature

I deflowered the hyacinth. Its massive flower stalk went saggy and droopy since there's so much less water in the soil I put it in by contrast to the straight water it was living in previously, and the smell has gone from pleasant to cloying.

It just wasn't going to look good any more. If the rest of the plant goes too, well.

I got some of those already-grown herbs from the supermarket to plant, and they immediately died the second i put them in pots ouside.

I have heard that is a very common experience, but I don't remember the exact cause.

I bet like, Lowes or whatnot has some that aren't trash.

Murph Jr. forsook the third leaf, which was halfway furled upon itself and somewhat split. The fourth leaf, now third, is still unfurling, but is most of the way deployed.

Happy third leafday again, Murph Jr.

Basically you don't throw a fish in entirely different water either, too much change too much shock for the supermarket weeds. Either burned by too many nutrients, or the PH was too different.

That or they allready had them on life support in the store

It is finally starting to become warm enough to do something with the garden.  Tomorrow, I am going to purchase barrier cloth. The risk of frost still looms on the horizon, so it is too soon to buy and set out plants. However, I can still get the plot itself ready.

[wierd]

big plans were made, but mother nature is clearly going through menopause, with all the hot and cold flashes she is having.

went from 70F one day, to SNOW the next.

Needless to say, not installing barrier cloth in snow.

Do the seeds need cold to sprout?
