The tomato under grow light was flopping, I dont think its dying, just it wasnt rooted well and I gave it give some water a couple of days ago, didnt realize that it plopped down. The stem is still rigid, all is good, I hope.

The Google Consumer Surveys responses were still showing zeros this morning, maybe the update interval is relatively long, but it should be in real-time.

Finally, I figured out how to properly install Perl modules, or so may I think.

Those unripened tomatoes really take their sweet time to turn, only a few are in orange, some in yellow, half of them still is in green. But I am confident that they will all turn red this summer.

Two small bags of mushroom needed bigger rooms, but one of them had developed green mold, itd have to go to compost after its dry. The other one was fairly covering the cardboard in white stuff and has been upgraded, bigger bag and more shredded cardboard.

I am under the weather today, stuffy and then running noses, but not too bad. The temperature is below 15C, it is the lowest this year, so far. However, the yardlong bean and Chinese red noodle bean still flowering, I counted 6 flowers, but I dont know if they are still fertilized.

This morning, I made a jar of sauerkraut, only white cabbage, nothing else. Also, the oyster mushroom in shredded cardboard, the king oyster mushroom that I prepared a few days ago, there seems to be some mycellium growing.

I heard that you can do leaf cutting, not all plants can grow into new plants, but I have to try this once. Seeds, stem cutting, leaf cutting, there might be other ways to propagate that I couldnt never imagine.

The cat wasnt interested in the toy I made, a flexible clothes hanger connected by electric wire to a small bell, he just didnt want to move.

Sprouting has been going on for long time, celery sprouts are packed in that little cup, but I didnt know how they taste. So I added some celery microgreen to toast, didnt taste very strong, but if I eat one sprout directly, its very strong celery flavor.

This afternoon, as I walked to balcony, looking at plants, a pigeon suddenly landed on railing of external window sill. I immediately froze, kept very still as best as I can. It looked at me, or passed me, then busy looking down at ground level. Probably a minute or two before it took off. We were distanced in two meters at most, the only thing between us is window screen.

Some rainbow potatoes, I decided to chit three of them, not sure what colors inside or what I can grow in if they do chit, which I believe they would, quite some eyes on them. I am thinking about thick plastic shopping bag, filled with shredded cardboard, stacked with another bag if lucky enough that works. This would be an experiment, I just have to shred a lot of cardboard.

I just have my first whole bucket at once. (maybe more times? my memory is not so reliable...)

It's an 1,000 ml bucket, I finished it in about 50 minutes while watching Green Zone. I felt I was about to puke, my stomach can't contain that much, I guess.

Before I had it, I ate the dessert first.

No, the ice cream is the main course, I skipped the starter. However, I am not sure about eating 1,000 ml of ice cream you could count it as a dessert, or I should call it a torture?

Anyways, according to that nutrition table on the cap, it says 100cc contains 155.3 calorie, so 1000 ml contains 1553 cal. I have half energy I need within just one hour.

I am glad I don't have beer around, I would puke definitely if I had any.
