my 5k PR came in the dead of summer.

still confuses me.

lollololol.

love me some slow heat runs.

putting on a sweatshirt is nice, u'd think it'd make it hotter but it also kinda cools u down inside. creates this weird wet/cold insulated internal environment. lmfao.

im losing it. up too late. lack of sleep.

bw = 140

farm life:
- literally ~12 hours or so today
- transferred 20+ pepper transplants to bigger pots
- created a "citrus section": loquat, passion fruit, barbados cherry, valencia orange, navel orange, meyer lemon, papaya, ruby guava, miracle fruit, lime .. surrounded by some plantains + lemon grass clones.
- wanted to put all of my banana plants into 30 gallon containers but... 30 gal is too small! have to order some 40-50's, damn.. kinda nuts.

aside from that, had an awesome moment. seeing a "dragonfruit bloom" is a "moment". people get all excited to watch it happen. you can literally watch it unfold.. then it closes back up in a few hours apparently.

so i was just watering and boom, noticed it flowering. really cool, wasn't expecting it at all.

it's one of the sickest looking flowers.. and that's what creates a "dragon fruit".

some photos of it that i posted to ig:









i also somehow managed to get a 7 ft lowquat tree into my civic.. lmfao. will post a photo of the tree tmw. kinda nuts how i got it into the civic with 5 x 50 qt bags of dirt, plus a few other trees.

i might buy some more "mature trees".. lowquat was only $50 for a 7 ft mature tree. pretty cheap considering.. might hit up a citrus nursery occasionally and get more stuff.

pc!

going to journal my farm life stuff from now on.

bw = 140

farm life:
- did it late, was annoyed that i didn't do it during the day: 11 PM - 4 AM wtf.
- got a ton of dirt today .. planned to pot a bunch of things but got sucked into "seed planting"
- propagated a ton of sisso spinach cuttings
- upsized 4 moringa transplants
- planted tons of seeds:
-- red leaf mustard, green leaf mustard, romain lettuce, thai basil
-- 4 x moringa
-- 6 x pole beans, bush beans, snap peas, edamame
- ~22 x 2 pepper seeds: all different varieties. these are the "disease resistant pro seeds" .. need to grow these asap so I can get my pepper production back up

kind of pissed today.. first time food shopping in 3 months & I spend like $200.. some essential supplies but still, haven't spent a dime on food in 3 months. need to get my food production back up so I can continue to not food shop.

the sisso spinach cuttings I planted .. these should all "take" and become little sisso spinach bushes that produce a "salad each".. plan is to have lots of little spinach bushes so that I can eat a few salads per week:





here's the adult sisso i took the cuttings off of: (2nd photo)





also, one of the best salads ever because of the moringa sprinkled in.. made it next level. love moringa: (moringa in the upper right for example)




im up way too late..

gn!

lil baby, "the bigger picture"

"THE MOST NUTRITIOUS Terrestrial Plant in the World!"

i've got ~10 growing. about to ramp up bigtime and try to grow a ton of these trees.

1) i love eating the leaves, and they are incredibly nutritious/good for you
2) might be able to sell the leaves/powder at some point -> farm life experiment
3) they grow so fast down here: within a week of putting the seed in dirt, i have a ~4" moringa tree. about another week after that, it's ~8" and I can actually eat some leaves. A month after and it's ~2 ft. 2 months, 3-4 ft.
4) you can chop most of the tree down and it'll grow right back
5) you can propagate it very easily by cuttings

it's used to fight malnutrition now.. the health profile of moringa leaves is actually incredible.

i wakeup and just go to the baby tree & eat like 50 leaves for breakfast... lmao.

love it.

that jump is absolutely nuts.
