4 Assed Monkey

Another week has passed, and she is looking better. She is tiny, though, so there's a genuine possibility she will be stunted. But then, I've been surprised by tiny plants before, so I'll let her go for a while longer before deciding whether to keep her. The nematodes arrived two days ago, and I applied about a million. As they said in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, anything worth doing is worth overdoing. I'll do a second application to deal with any stragglers in a week or two. In the tent, I've also deployed three Pinguicula vulgaris, a carnivorous plant. One of them does its job exceptionally well. It's always nice to work with professionals. Switched out the overly manly sticky traps to better gauge population change. It's fucking GO! time. DIE GNATS!!! Finally, I added mulch to the planter. It's long overdue, but hey, better late than never. Now, we'll wait and see if she can beat the odds...
