Total Newb & Mostly Natural

Plants are now named Inky, Pinky, Blinky (and one of another strain is Dot.) That's partly because one of them - Blinky - had something strange going on with her leaves and looked like she was kind of winking. They were sort of fused together for a while, which then seems to have made the next set grow weirdly too. Now that a third set is starting to show, it looks like she might grow out of it. I fashioned a way to throw a tarp over them at night to account for the street light in the back. Everyone still seems to be happy and healthy, though my challenge for next week looks to be whatever has decided to start snacking on one of the plants. Pinky was looking the strongest, but I think some grasshoppers have stopped by. She's the only one with any evidence of pests so far, so I'll be putting down some diatomaceous earth around then all to be safe.
