  • 6: Seeds (same McKenzie pouch) planted in new soil (MiracleGro indoor mix).
• May
  • 17: Re. Spider mites. Washed leaves of suspected invested plants. Basil, kemangi, mini rose, bunnytails, pole beans, cucumber, tomatoes, and pumpkin. Removed a lot of yellowing leaves. Cilantro thrown away since it's just more practical to restart.
• June
  • 3: Moved to blazing star container outdoor.
  • 4: Yarrow is added. Rearranged.

Care

• Drought resistance. Fine with being neglected a bit. Water deeply and then let the soil to dry out before the next watering.
• Full sun to partial shade
• Sandy soil or any well-draining ones.
• Flowers can be dried and last long as bouquets or craft. hang a bunch upside down, dry in a dark, cool, and dry place for 2-3 weeks or until stem snaps when bent. It will last for years
• Likes sandy soil best, but loam works well too. Or any well-draining is okay.
