Continue working in my garden. The luffas, tomatoes, and dragon tail radishes look like they are doing pretty well in the garden bed. I may lose 2 of the 5 luffa plants though, the pill bugs had a feast the first night the plants went in and I'm not sure they will recover. Also, thinking about transplanting 2 radishes in containers into slightly bigger pots before they get too big so I can use their current container for some flowers.

I also have to plan out the pvc pipe frame for my garden fencing, the current fence keeps the rabbits out, but it will not keep out rats once the tomatoes start to attract them. I just have to measure out and cut the frame, then zip tie the chicken wire to it.

I will likely also move my plants around a little. Move some succulents to the backyard and some veggies to the front patio. I need to actually organize where my plants are, right now the patio is just random giant pots of succulents and mini citrus trees everywhere lol

Just lots of plant and garden stuff this week. Yay for growing season!!

I'm vicariously excited for your luffas. I've always wanted to grow them.

If you have any space at all, I cannot recommend luffas enough. They are very satisfying and easy to grow, they just needs sun and lots of water.

Last year, I grew one plant in a 14inch pot with an upside down tomato cage and a few bamboo sticks. I harvested 10 sponges. It was maybe 5 ft tall in the end. These pictures were before they dried out and I peeled away the husk.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
