I was today years old when I found out baby snails create their own shells
This entire time I've been under the impression that they find shells, like hermit crabs.

[ID: six images, all showing translucent, greenish yellow baby snails with translucent brown and tan shells that have not hardened yet at various angles, against a background of moist dirt. The snails are tiny, about the length of a bell pepper seed. End ID]

August 4th, 2022:
My Solanum Quitoense arrived today! Common names include Lulo and Naranjilla, this is one evil-looking plant that will eventually yield delicious fruit :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: Four Images.
The first is a group shot of a container garden, with pepper plants growing on a grassy hill in a variety of DIY containers such as buckets and small recycling bins. The camera is focused on a large black nursery pot that has a black tomato cage stuck in it with camouflage burlap wrapped around the cage, obscuring what's inside.
The second picture shows a picture of the tomato cage as the camera approaches over the top of the burlap , showing a glimpse of a spiny leaf inside.
The third picture is now peering directly down into the container, with the burlap surrounding the plant inside as the camera looks straight down at it, revealing cedar chip mulch.
The fourth and final image is a zoom in of the plant, showing is has three green, serrated-edged leaves that have large purple spines visible on the tops goin down the center and along each vein. The stem is light green and also covered in spines along with downy fuzz. A very young leaf is just barely visible in the center of the plant, light green, and completely covered in a light green peach fuzz and spikes. End ID]

[ID: Three images, showing small brown and tan eggplant seeds spread out across fine mesh strainers, showing hundreds of seeds. end ID]
August 4th, 2022:
Eggplant seeds,
Solanum Melongena,
Variety "Patio Baby" -- F2 in this case!
Parent plant: $20 F1 plant from Lowes with included tomato cage, grown in original container (for now) with original "soil" (pure coconut coir or peat moss it seems like) replaced with actual potting mix.
Parent plant age: 1 year (bought in spring 2022)
Parent plant garden generation: 1 (2022)
______
And this my friends, is why if you are growing food in your garden, you need to learn how to save the seeds of everything you grow-- and also what you buy at the grocery store!
To save eggplant seeds from your garden:
choose one or two fruit (the more you save seeds from, the more genetic diversity you have) from each plant of each variety you are growing to save seeds from and mark them in some way so you know not to harvest them for regular eating, such as a small ribbon loosely tied to the stem.
Allow the chosen eggplant(s) to remain on the plant (harvest other fruit as usual and keep up your fertilizing routine as normal) until your chosen eggplants turn fully yellow over the course of a few days-- and then wait a week more to make sure it doesn't change color further.
Harvest your fully mature eggplant, fill a large mixing bowl with water, and cut your eggplants In half or into quarters.
Drop eggplant into bowl of water and use your fingernails to scrape the seeds out of the center of the fruits, making sure to get any nook's and crannies, sitting the eggplant "skins" to the side to be composted later.
Repeat this process for all of your eggplant quarters until you have a bowl full of seeds that are sunk to the bottom, and some spongy flesh at the top. Scrape any remaining seeds out of the floating bits, and then, with a Fine Mesh Strainer, slowly pour off the floating excess til only the clean seeds at the bottom of the bowl remain, adding more water as needed to keep the floating stuff away from the seeds-- do this over a bin or bucket so you can reuse this water for the garden!
Once you've cleaned the strainer out of the floating bits, pour your clean seeds into the strainer, try to get them into a single layer, and make sure to put some kind of label with the seeds, and sit them, still In the strainer, in front of a low level fan for a few days before storing in labeled ziplock bags, mason jars, or your preferred seed storage container.
If you need to process Multiple varieties of kinds of seeds with only one strainer, let the seeds sit in front of a fan for at least twenty minutes before transferring them to a labeled paper plate, using the bottom of the strainer to push them flat into a single layer to continue drying out of the way.

Accidentally broke a small branch off my Yellow Reaper plant, so now I have two unripe reapers, and hopefully a new clone of the plant :)

"God, I love when your hair is like that..."
You jumped, soil still sprinkling off your gloves as you turned around and fixed a stare on Negan. "Jesus. You scared the shit out of me. You're lucky I don't have a weapon," you said dryly.
He laughed and seemed to simply be enjoying taking in the view.
"Wait—What the hell are you doing wandering around? Where's your guard?" you asked, realizing suddenly that he was alone.
"Who, Grady?" he laughed, slipping his hands into his pockets. "He's back there somewhere... probably still trying to tie his boot. Guy is dumber than a box of rocks. I could still outwit him after a lobotomy," he quipped, flashing you a smile he clearly hoped was charming.
"That could be arranged," you said, cocking an eyebrow at him.
His grin only widened and he leaned on the fence beside you. "When are you going to get over this hard to get thing and just admit that you'd love a little—"
"—alright! I'm gonna stop you there before you say something that's going to require me to punch you in the face," you interrupted. "I suggest you get back to Grady before I serve up that lobotomy, Negan."
His teeth sunk into his bottom lip for a moment before he smiled at you again. "Do me just one favor, doll?"
You crossed your arms, on guard. "What?"
"Say my name just one more time... I'd like to remember how it sounds for when I'm in my cell all alone later."
"Go!" you scolded him, mustering the most severe look you could.
He held his hands up in surrender and disappeared after a final glance back at you, still with that shit-eating grin on his face.
Prompt: "I'm gonna stop you there before you say something that's going to require me to punch you in the face." A/N: Happy Wicked Wednesday!
