Hello fellow gardeners of the Blockchain! First let me say how impressed I am on the growth of this community. We have some talented, and independent here on Hive. I have always said it takes a different breed of person to be successful here. One that does not need an app that makes it easy to use. One that does not need millions of people, so it is easier to gain a following. Then most importantly, one that understands the true importance of not being on a platform owned by one person, and most likely hates you! So if your looking for instant gratification, go to Instagram. If you are looking for an echo chamber, go to Twitter. If you are looking to make someone rich, besides yourself, go to Facebook. I tip my hat to all you Hivers who put in the work when Hive is up, and put in even harder work when Hive is down. You are a true Blockchain hero ;)
Ok back to the subject on hand. Gardening. Which is something many of you know, I LOVE! Mainly it is indoor cannabis. My outside spot is not so ideal, so I am limited in that area. But at work, it is a different story. Here I have lots of sun, and space. However I do not take advantage of this as much as I should. This year will be different. You see the picture above? That is my compost. Look harder....Do you see it?
It is watermelon seedlings from a watermelon I recently composted! I swear seeds love this environment. In fact I think this is how I will start up my cannabis seeds this year, lol. Just kidding on that part. But how cool is it to see all of these potential watermelons. I was even thinking of maybe doing some, and some pumpkins this year. This is just the motivation I needed.
I really love Solo cups for seedlings, or clones. They are the perfect size, and are sturdy. If I was at home I would of just got the ones I have been using for well over 3 years. But Ill need those sometime down the road. So I just grabbed some here at work. They'll be handy here anyways for future use.
I thought this was cool. Seeing the seedling attached to the watermelon scrap like this shows what exactly happens when you swallow a watermelon seedling. So be carful in the future next time you eat watermelon on a hot summers day.
I just took some dirt here at work, and mixed in some finished compost. This garden will be as low budget as I can get it. Also being here 6 days a week will allow me to focus some time, and kill time all at the same time. Say that 6 times fast! I never have grew watermelon before, but I think I have the perfect spot for it, that I will keep you all updated from time to time here on Hive Garden.
I tried my hand at a garden here a few years ago with decent success. My only worries is the dam Gophers. An suggestions to get rid of them would be great.
I have gifted a few to a friend, but I think these will be plenty. Also to plant more, and hope the Gopher don't get all of them is also one of my game plans. The other is to get some TNT from the Acme company, and then fire in the hole! We will see......
