My strawberries are flowering! I only planted these 2 weeks ago and have the first flower! I’m growing them hydroponically (and have some in soil in pots) and they are thriving! I tried pollinating the flower with a qtip so 🤞 I get strawberries soon!

Pine berry progress! They’ve been planted a week and a day. I’m super happy with them so far!

2 hydroponic, 4 in dirt. The extra 2 in dirt are bonuses so 🤞 they take but if not…

(Yes, I can count. If you spot extra plants, those are the strawberries)

Hear me out. Cats have fangs. Vampires have fangs. Cats can't eat garlic. Vampires can't eat garlic. Cats sleep during the day. Vampires sleep during the day. Cats sometimes get zoomies at night. Vampires sometimes get zoomies at night...

Strawberries and pineberries were planted Tuesday! 2 of each in my new hydroponics thing and the rest in pots (some extra wouldn’t fit in my plant cage so 🤞my local pests (🐈‍⬛🐈) won’t get to them! I still need to make cute labels! I have some basil seeds to add later to the hydroponics.

I received 4 lbs of excrement in a package today… but that’s ok because I ordered it.

Google says worm castings will make my new strawberries happy. I’ll be planting some in my plant cage and some in my new hydroponics setup.

I managed to almost perfectly make a 20 oz pineapple smoothie for breakfast! The only problem is that it was supposed to fit in a 16 oz mason jar… oh well. It’s a (delicious) learning process.

I have decided to try growing strawberries/pineberries again this year. I ordered some bare root plants and a hydroponics countertop system. I'm going to do half in hydroponics and half in pots and hopefully at least have some of them survive.

I was debating between two different blues for the "air" portion of FiberArtuary: Light Denim or Sky Blue. That made that choice easy!

(I checked, there is enough contrast with the white I'm also using).

"I'm digging through my eye collection to find the perfect pairs for the creatures I'm planning on creating" can have a very different vibes, depending on context... 👩‍🔬, 🧙‍♀️, or 🧶

Hi! I'm Xilarae. I knit, crochet, draw, play games, and cuddle my cats. I just got a new knitting machine I've been experimenting with. I occasionally remember to actually post my projects to social media. I am attempting to read one new book every year (I like fantasy books but not romance).
