It's Hot Outside.

I thought I should post something, not like anyone cares though.

Upon returning from a 3 week vacation I've decided that I will never entrust my mother to look after my plants in my absence. One of my lavenders and my Japanese rose bush have both parished due to under watering in the blistering GTA heat. I think the places I bought them from came with some sort of guarantee so I'll try exchanging them for fresh new plants.

In other news, my only eggplant so far that has begun to grow was eaten about halfway to maturity by some sort of animal, and the only piece left was a piece of the skin a few feet away from the crime scene. Most flowers never get pollinated because the flowers are very delicate and I tend to find them on the ground.

I've taken apart the Aerogarden, cleaned it and planted another season of herbs: Dill, Epazote, Mint, Napolitano Basil, Red Rubin Basil, Thai Basil and Lemon Basil. No time-lapse this time. If I find the time I'm planning on finding an old digital camera, possibly one with a broken screen that no one wants, and hacking it with an Arduino microcontroller so I can have it take time-lapse photos with a better quality camera.
