After I got some Tylenol in my system and a 30 min nap, I started my day and headed out to pick up some containers and a plant to add to the garden. Settling on a Kumquat, I also got some soil to transplant my peppers into separate containers. I got these random assortment of peppers as a birthday gift from my folks and have been postponing giving them their own container. As expected, their roots were a bit intertwined as a pulled them apart. I'm hoping there isn't too much root damage as I did this. I'm suspecting they'll be a bit happier as they won't be competing in the same container. I also added peppermint to the herb garden, moving the Thai basil to its own pot. The sunflowers seem to be doing pretty well as I thinned out the seedlings. However, there were some pests in the soil which seemed to be fleas but I'm not entirely sure. I must look into this further. Either way, the soil also contained a good number of spiders so I got some predators on my side. I also started some Madhu Ras seeds and have been thinking of some melon specific "raised bed" ideas. Garden seems to be in good shape.

May 11, 2019
The weather is getting muggy, clothes sticking to your body, can't get enough water type of muggy. I felt this as I woke up with a pretty bad headache this morning. This gave me a good reminder why I don't drink alcohol much anymore these days. Nonetheless, I had a good time the night before hanging out at a fire, singing along to Blaze Foley's Clay pigeons.
