scribbles from refresh and failed lid swap

Originally I had not intended to blog about yet another refresh, despite attempting to swap lids to fix a webcam issue while under warranty. If you are  facebook friend you know it failed to connect to wifi, so this is an ongoing thing.

Because my memory is not what I wish, I put some bullet journal (bujo) styled notes in a calendar entry attempting to track my time.  Since I now want to share them with another person, I figured I'd dump them below. (Btw. I totally forgot about those todos today. Tried once more to get the new lid  (and nothing else) to connect to the internet, but failed. Got the old one to water and light. Not sure about the automated scheduling

---

- replace lid and test :(

- put boxes from accessories in attic

- thin bull's blood beet greens

- make pesto for cod (jarred salsa verde)

- continue stripping dried leaves from stems an put in smaller container; thyme was good in eggs the other morning

 - Empty: 1 3d lid,  2 back lid, 1 ypod, 1 inverted ypod, 1 missing plant.  ...

(Glad I left the top 3 open for manual watering last night)

- vinegar helped with green patio. Move remainder there

- harvest mint mustard chard.

. Waiting: lettuce sprouts to get bigger

. Poor sundew. From drying out?

. Amaranth: not ready to harvest the 2nd time, roots ok. Green around cube, white on surface but stem too bigbfor collar

? Lemon balm: lots of tangled growth with some dead or spotted leaves, totally root bound and browning in ypod - trimmed an inch. Some algae. Soaked ypod to reduce staining. Use faster!

. Thai basil: flowering - nom, minor root clean up, some ypod staining 

. Basil: flowering and tall, harvested, minor cleanup, inch off roots

. MIssing? Borage dead in thai Basil? Toss roots and recycled pieces of rockwool

. Borage 121: kinked stem, air roots, roots out the drain hole happy plant, the little leaves have stickers too.

. mini strawberry. Eliminated dead and dying leaves.  Roots approaching black berries in all stages despite a lack of hand pollination ate a dried one. Had harvested recently.

. Rooting tomato - barely  visible outside cube. Not dead. Red roots in space from another plant.

. Fiesta gitana. Seems to be flowering more lushly since harsh prune.  Still mostly single layer of petals since dip.

. Red sorrel. Still a young plant. I swear some basil got in. Will they survive I rip the basil out and put it in its own pod ?

. Borage 52 bites. Has some escaped roots. It's stem also shows signs of flopping over when young

. Lunch?

. 3 swiss chards: 1 ready to harvest. Roots busting cube, air roots, seriously pruned bottom; #12 I recently harvested but neglected to prune roots; the other is struggling. I think I over harvested.  Had some broken stems.

. Baby bean seems ok with fertilizer 

. 2 lettuces give lie to me nibbling more. Nom nom. Red salad bowl and thinning.

. 19 savory has very little green growth on woody stems

. Mint has grown well. One runner. Big flowers were not caught earlier.

. Baby rooted mint identified by not being root bound and less business. Also had runner and needs harvesting.

Can give away big plant now.

. Thyme. Seems  happy despite recent hard prune. 

. Parsley. Had some sap on base (and on savory below.  ?. The roots look Healthy, but the ypod stank when I took it apart. Soaking. The outside vinegar is no longer green. Refilled peanut r butter jar.

. Savory and  baby mint not properly seated.

- plex on tv

      - frequent pin entry terribly annoying. Needs to accept numbers from remote in addition to scrolling 

. Appreciate new gel matt in front of sink despite poor fit
