morgynleriToday in Morgyn Is An Adult, No Really (And Also Cat Is Awesome):
Growth lights are fucking fantastic for me as well as the plants. Hello artificial sunlight, I am a solar-driven critter, gimmie.
Adjacent to that - if I spend too long in my bathroom where said light is, the light in the rest of the apartment looks green for a little bit.
The lamp I had in the bathroom is now back in my living room, and I am so glad I have a "daylight" fixture that doesn't fucking flicker on me (there's something wrong with the current overhead light fixture or the electric running to it, because those bulbs SHOULD NOT FLICKER).
Jess was under a chair with her murder monkey, and I picked up the jar of catnip to get her a leaf (homegrown catnip), and she shoves her murder monkey out like "I know what you're getting, gimmie on the monkey!" So I did, and shoved it back under. I have a happy catten who has gotten a catnip hit.
(Meanwhile, I suspect I need to plant new catnip this year, since the plant does not appear to be coming up around the masses of wild strawberry that have colonized the garden. Neither is the oregano. Orange mint, peppermint, lemonbalm, english thyme, lavender, and green sage all are coming in all right, and the not-wild strawberry plants are gleefully going "not dead, bwuahahahahaha!")
More dirt, and more buckets were gotten on the way home from mom's birthday dinner, and I have yellow squash, mystery squash, garlic, and shallots to plant. Next weekend will be a tour of our local nurseries that are worth the effort, and acquiring (hopefully) some raspberry canes, cherry tomato plant, whatever herbs we decide to get, and possible some other fruiting things and flowers. And more buckets. And another growth light. Some hooks for the bathroom ceiling. The container garden is going to be awesome. And in a month, it all goes OUTSIDE, and I can have my bathroom back.
(Plans for bathroom renovation now include switched outlet in ceiling for installation of growth lights for continuing container gardening and early growth of things to go in garden beds. Whenever the fuck I get to it, anyway.)
Also acquired a new fan to replace the not-entirely-functioning one in the living room. Will install later, when both me and dad have spoons for it, 'cause neither of us did today.
