Beginner - Raspberry Boogie & Witches Wedding

Oh, what a wild ride Week 3 has been in the grand saga of my plant parenting escapade! I might have channeled my inner Edward Scissorhands a bit too early in the week and decided to give the ladies a fancy haircut – a practice known in the horticultural world as "topping." My plants, initially shocked and possibly contemplating filing a complaint, looked at me as if to say, "Seriously, dude? Bad hair day much?" For a while there, it seemed like I'd disrupted the plant version of a high school prom, with some of them sporting the botanical equivalent of messy updos. I could almost hear the whispers among the leaves, "Did you see what THCpapaTHCPAPA did to his ladies? It's a horticultural scandal!" Despite the initial leafy rebellion, my green companions gradually forgave me, and things started to look up. It's amazing what a little time and a dash of plant therapy can do. I'm pretty sure they're secretly plotting to add a plant psychologist to their support team – "Help, our owner has a pruning obsession!" However, the drama didn't stop there. Two of my green divas decided to go all Hollywood on me and started showing signs of leaf discoloration. I interpreted this as their subtle way of saying, "Hey, this pot is so last season, we need a bigger space to spread our roots and flourish." Ever the accommodating plant parent, I decided it was time for a relocation project. Transplanting became the horticultural version of a reality TV show – "Plants in Transit." I even played a dramatic soundtrack as I carefully uprooted and relocated the drama queens. I could almost hear their tiny voices saying, "At last, a roomy penthouse for our roots!" Now, as I reflect on the events of Week 3, I can't help but feel like a botanical superhero who faced adversity head-on. Despite the leafy hiccups, I remain hopeful that my green squad will rise like photosynthetic phoenixes from the ashes of my overenthusiastic pruning and questionable pot size choices. Here's to hoping that the next chapter in the plant chronicles will be filled with fewer surprises and more leafy victories. Stay tuned for the next episode of "Growing Up Green," coming soon to a tent near you! 🌱✨
