I planted some tomatoes and cucumbers (and lettuce, but only 2 seeds sprouted and then the seedlings wilted). I transplanted each seedling into its own pot and lined them on the radiator under a south facing window. Sadly I have no balcony. Honestly, I do not expect them to bring me any fruit in my home and plan to give them away. But today I was poking around a cucumber seedling to help break apart the cardboard nursery pot into which I initially transplanted it (the instructions say they can be transplanted to a bigger pot in cardboard pots) and the tomato plant in the neighbouring pot was twitching in the same direction in which I was poking the soil. The very cucumber didn't twitch that much. The pots were not touching one another. I thought I was losing my mind. I do not believe in "the secret life of plants", and even if I was hurting the cucumber seedling and it sent chemical signals, no plant should move this quickly 😱 Took me 5 pokes to realise what was going on 😅

Anyway, if anybody has a garden or a balcony and wants a haunted cucumber or tomato plant, let me know. (You do need to come to Heidelberg to pick it up.)

Planted this pumpkin and it's growing into an absolute unit.

Joined the forkiverse and don''t have a stunning view to share in drizzle January, but look how nice this cutting is that my friend brought in for me at work!
Any suggestions to keep alive gratefully received

This is why I haven't been able to warm up since I got out bed this morning.

My Raynaud's syndrome hates this kind of thing even more than freezing cold and dry.

And yes, it comes on faster now with #LongCovid
