Hey, what's up, dogs? I'm here to update you on our attempt to keep our orchids alive. On that note...sadly, we had to say goodbye to them. They were not doing well (yellowing leaves and zombified roots) and were starting to attract bugs.
A little depressing, but apparently orchids are quite finicky. No matter...my human and I learned a lot about their care, which will help us if we should get another orchid in the future.
Grandpa Angus has a gardening project as well...he started some mint seeds in a pot several weeks ago, and they're growing, albeit slowly.
What else you got there, Grandpa?
"Well, laddie, since I've got me mint growing, I thought I'd also try growing some lemon balm. Makes a good tea, I've heard. And I'm going to start some chives, for cooking."
And here's my personal project, Mr. Avocado Pit. As you can see in the close-up, he's sprouted a good-sized root and is beginning to produce a stem up top! It took a long time, but it's been very exciting to see progress.
This gardening stuff is kind of fun. I can see why my blog friends like it! I only wish it had less to do with fruits and vegetables, and more to do with bacon. Anyway...till next time...
