I kinda went a little picture crazy this week, thanks to all sorts of interesting developments, both with Avobaby and with some of the other tenants.

Jan. 15th, 2007 09:40 pmGlasses update: After lots and lots of curmudgeoning, headaching, and resisting the urge to put a little diver with a treasure chest in my room, I gave in and went to the optometrist. My glasses are apparently sitting properly now, but I'm still a little fishbowly. I'm gonna let it ride for a couple days, just in case my weird perception is less a case of "Glasses COCKEYED" and more my brain going "OMGWTF what have you done *now*?" Actually, I think right now it's a case of the latter, as I'm starting to get used to them, which is a good thing.
Potatobob update: As I was watering plants today, I leaned over and got a whiff of something slightly rancid coming from Potatobob. I'm not quite sure what I was smelling, if it was just your average solanaceous plant smell (as they can be rather pungent), or if it's a sign that Potatobob is slowly turning to the Dark Side. I'm hoping it's the former, as I'd rather not have to get rid of Potatobob. As of right now, though, the smell isn't really bad, so I'm going to let it ride, and hope that it sorts itself out.
It's definitely growing, though. I think maybe this week I'll take pictures of Potatobob to show. <3 <3 <3

Avocadocumentary--Part 8
Dec. 30th, 2006 03:58 pmA couple of days ago, I had an Avobaby-related nightmare--I dreamt that somebody had cut off all of Avobaby's leaves, leaving nothing but a bare stick in a pot. It was very sad, and I'm glad it was only a dream. No beheading of Avobaby allowed! ;_;
Anyway, things have been pretty quiet on the Avobaby front, so only one picture this time around. So instead, I took a snapshot of my other plant project, whom I have affectionately named Potatobob. Also, cookies!
( Pictures ahoy! )
On a different, sadder note, I discovered today that my ornamental sweet potato has an awful, awful case of spider mites. I'm inclined to think that it may be terminal, because it's looking pretty bad, and treating it would be very difficult, particularly since there are plants on the windowsill (including Avobaby) over the treatment area--i.e., the sink, and I don't want them to catch them as well. It's currently sitting in the garage right now as I debate whether or not it would be worth it to undertake the challenge of treating it. The other thing that bothers me is that it had been sitting in a group of other plants, so I'm concerned that the others might have caught them. I've spread the ones that were closest to it out, and I'm gonna have to watch them for several days to see if they develop signs of infestation as well. I should really pay more attention to that voice in the back of my head that looks at a plant and goes, "Hm. It may just be me, but that plant doesn't look right."
But in the meantime, *sadface*.
