You would not believe how difficult it is to keep the plants in check at the greenhouse. I have all these plants that want to top themselves and go 100% reproductive. So they send off two clusters of flowers and then can't grow anymore because they broke the pattern of; leaf, cluster, head. So now I'm stuck with the job of clipping their flowers so that they don't waste extra energy on creating. And I have to get to the flowers before the bees come buzzing and pollinate them. Anyway I'm hoping to be able to bring these rebel plants back to greenhouse conformity policy.
I did really poorly on my Japanese oral exam. She asked me what the temperature was going to be like and I said that it was going to drop to 50 minutes. And she sorta looked at me and asked, "50 degrees?" Yeah, I just sorta shrunk then and got all defeated and small. I will be done with Japanese midterm crap this Thursday. I should be studying, but all my drive left this semester.
Baked tomatoes smell really good. Now I just need to wait for them to cool down so that my hands won't burn when I work with them.
It's reminding me the things I noticed before.
It's a shame that I'm killing these flowers that the Sun traveled 1AU to feed. Oh well.
Equal plant opportunity.
