Gardening Tip for the Broke #3

This past summer I have been *obsessed* with lemons. So much so I started to look into how to grow my own lemon tree at home, so here I come sharing my findings with you.

First and foremost, growing lemon trees from seeds is a LONG process. If you want your own lemons sooner rather than later, go to a tree nursery to pick one up for yourself or get a graft from someone.

Second, when deciding to grow lemon trees from seed, you have to keep in mind that not all the seeds will end up in fruitful trees, and those that do won't always have good tasting fruit. If you really want good tasting fruit from your struggle, do the same as above because its not fun to find out after 3-5 years that your tree is fruitless or has bad tasting fruit.

Okay, onto how to get saplings from seeds in a v low effort way!

Extract the seeds from the fruit (I usually do this while squeezing out lemon juice for lemonade/limoncello)

Check which seeds are viable: fill a glass with water and one by one drop the seeds in. Any seeds that float won't sprout, those that sink have the chance to.

Take the viable seeds out from the glass. They will be slippery and have a goo-like film on them. We need to take this goo off. The best way is to pop the seeds into your mouth and suck on them like a sweet until all the lemon taste is gone. Alternatively, give them a good scrub with a paper towel.

Take a plate, cotton ball*, and shot glass. Wet the cotton ball and place it onto the plate, place a few seeds (I usually do 3-6 seeds) onto the cotton ball, cover the cotton ball with the shot glass. (You can put multiple cotton balls onto the plate, each should have their own shot glass).

Place the plate on top of the fridge and wait.

*I usually use two cotton pads which I rip up and bunch into a ball and it works perfectly as well.

The first time I did this method, I did it a day before leaving home to travel for a month. When I came back most of the seeds had sprouted and were ready to put into soil.

My current batch has been on the fridge for a few weeks now but I haven't had a peek at it in a week or so but have seen some sprouts appearing last I checked.

I've found that seeds from lemons at my local veg shop are bigger and seem to sprout more often, but supermarket lemon seeds have also sprouted!

I plan to try doing this with limes next and will keep you updated.

Happy gardening!

we visited each other during the summer: when I visited him we went on walks around a local lake, into the city and played games on his computer; when he visited me, we went on walks through the forest, took a day trip to a city (we had to take 3 trains to get there) and snuggled while watching films.

speaking of, he's fallen in love with my massive dog and my dog loves him too - they're acc so cute together

we've moved into our second year of uni now and live next to each other

we split our time between the two rooms and he wakes me up in the morning before his lectures if I have something I need to get up for as well

the fucker gave me freshers flu and cared for me despite feeling ill too

he also made fun of my cracking voice when I started to lose my voice due to the flu

he's actively made an effort in learning Polish (my mother-language) and is very keen on trying Polish food

he lets me live in his clothes (I've spent the past 3 days in his joggers - they're SO COMFY)

gets me vegan sausage rolls from greggs every time he does a lunch run after his lectures

still pushes me to do my work as much as possible, even when I don't want to

Recently found out I am dating irl James Potter

The similarities between them are actually uncanny!

Here is a short list, but every time something happens to support, I will update:

we met in freshers week of uni, on the way to freshers fair and he was slagging off a local deer park

called said deer park 'a scam' for giving students £1 discount entry fee

has since declared to steal a stag from this deer park and start one of his own to rival it

he is an athlete

despite the fact he is a himbo, he bakes every Friday night and feeds all of our friends the baked goods (he takes requests too)

he's a STEM student

he's obsessed with cats and dogs

literally a golden retriever boyfriend

has dark, unruly, curly hair and the warmest brown eyes

untoxic masculinity

has glasses but refuses to wear them most of the time

when he hears something he agrees with or finds funny he says "I'll drink to that" and does a little toast motion with whatever cup/drink he has

is half English, half Indian

since starting dating him he has walked my friend back to her accommodation with me so I didn't have to walk back alone in the dark

has left a post it note on my mirror saying 'you look really cute' when I went to a lesson and left him in my room

bought me my favourite flowers after I passively mentioned that they have them in our local tesco

started drinking tea because I always offer it to him and he's actually taken a liking to it

is a Gryffindor (I made him take the test)

almost every time I touch his upper arm he starts to pretend to "stretch" so that I can feel his biceps

cooks dinner for the both of us quite often

has made me a hot water bottle late at night on more than one occasion when I'm on my period

speaking of, bought me snacks, heat pads, sanitary products and painkillers

hugs me with just enough pressure on my lower back to help w my cramps

is an ally (and I'm a raging bisexual)

gets excited when I show him my crystal jewellery and actively tries to recognise them from memory

pushes me to do my uni work and hypes me up to do it so I don't rush things last minute like I usually do (we stan suspecting you have ADHD)

asks me about the books I read

likes it when I ramble on about Greek sculpture

isn't afraid to be emotional

consistently gets some of the highest marks in his class

I broke down crying and he held me into early hours of the morning until I calmed down

lets me pinch some of his bacon at weekend brunch

I got a random nosebleed as I was reading my book one night so he read it aloud to me as I sorted it out

Wards

What are wards?

Wards are energetic barriers around a space, such as a room or a house. They are barriers that you set the perimeters and rules of. You decide what can cross those barriers, and what cannot. They also use energy to sustain them, which is very draining if you're only using your energy.

How do you create wards?

Two very important details when creating wards are: What can cross the barrier, or the rules, and what will power the wards. In my most recent wards, I have a very simple set up for the rules. No uninvited spirit or energy can enter, once invited they are welcome any time, and if I tell them to leave they cannot enter unless invited again. I use crystals to help provide energy for the wards, and I recharge them every full moon.

Below are 2 different methods for creating wards, and a recharging method for both of them.

Method 1 - Crystals and Visualization

First, decide the rules of your wards. Who and what is allowed to cross the barrier? Is this just to keep beings with negative intentions out? If there are specific spirits or energies you are trying to keep out, make note of that. Be as specific as you can. Write your rules down on a piece of paper.

Next, place a small piece of hematite in each corner of the room.

Sit down on the floor anywhere in the room. Hold another crystal in your hands. Clear quartz or some type of calcite are good for this because they are easy to find, and also act as an energy filter.

Visualize a light of energy coming from your hands and going in to the crystal. Then, visualize that energy connecting to the 4 smaller crystals, creating a sort of pyramid shape of energy lines.

Visualize those energy lines expanding and forming a bubble around the room, above and below it.

Say the rules you created for your wards while still visualizing the energy bubble. You can say these out loud or in your head.

Finally, place the paper you wrote with the rules of your wards underneath the crystal you held in your hands. This can be anywhere in the room.

Method 2 - Without Visualization

This is very similar to the first method, just replacing the visualization with feeling energy. I actually like to mix these two methods together when I create my wards.

First, decide the rules of your wards. Be as specific as you can. Write these down on a piece of paper.

Next, place a small piece of hematite in each corner of the room.

Then, sit down on the floor anywhere in the room. Hold another crystal in your hands. Clear quartz or some type of calcite are good for this because they are easy to find, and also act as an energy filter.

Imagine that your hands and the crystal between them are getting warm.

Feel the energy expanding, and the warmth surrounding you now.

Say the rules you created for your wards. You can say them out loud or in your head.

Finally, place the piece of paper you wrote the rules on under the crystal you held in your hands

Recharging Wards with The Full Moon - Visualization

Since wards need energy to sustain them, they also need recharged occasionally. The full moon is a great time todo this. Another good time is on the event of any celestial occurrences, such as eclipses, planetary alignments, etc.

Have a seat on the floor anywhere inside the room, holding the same crystal you used to create the wards originally.

Visualize the full moon in the sky above you. See the energy of the moon flowing into the crystal in your hands.

Visualize energy lines connecting the crystals, and then expanding into an energy bubble surrounding the room once again.

Say the rules of your wards.

Finally, place the crystal back where you had it.

Recharging Wards with The Full Moon - Without Visualization

Sit on the floor, anywhere in the room, and hold the crystal you used originally in your hands.

Feel the cool energy of the moon reaching the crystal, making both the crystal and your hands cold.

Feel that energy expanding, surrounding you and the room.

Say the rules of your wards.

Finally, place the crystal back where you had it.

Please read this if you practice witchcraft, especially if you're a baby witch

Everyone says "do your research!" and absolutely, but this does not just apply to making sure you're using the right crystals in the right places or not being disrespectful towards whatever forces you're working with. Do your research in the most logical, practical, basic sense so that you don't accidentally hurt (or kill - yes, some of these mistakes can be literally deadly) yourself, your pets or children, your plants, the environment you're working in, etc.. I don't just want to scream at baby witches but use some common sense. You're working with chemicals here, not just energy.

- Salt is one of the most popular things to use for cleansing rituals. Putting it on soil will destroy it. Drinking it won't kill you, but there's a reason they say not to drink salt water no matter how thirsty you are. In small amounts you'll become dehydrated. In large amounts you'll get sick and likely start vomiting.

- Not all essential oils are safe for skin use, or for inhalation in terms of children or pets.

- Not everything is safe to burn. Again, remember that you are inhaling this when you burn it.

- Not safety related, but water can harm certain crystals. And sunlight. And salt. Research your crystals.

- Herbs can and do have side effects. We often talk about the medicinal benefits, but just like there's medicine you shouldn't combine, don't combine certain herbs or medications.

- Know what chemicals you're working with and what shouldn't mix. I recently saw someone create a hex jar with bleach and urine and go "Why is it doing that?" Because that's chloramine gas and it can kill you.

- Don't attempt to bring anything into nature that could risk the safety of what lives there. Something as simple as a lit piece of paper can start a forest fire. Leaving an offering? Make sure it won't kill any animals that eat it.

(This isn't chemistry related, but I also recently, as in today, saw someone ask about cleansing a route they regularly hike on. Let's reframe this: Would you consider it rude to go into someone's home as a guest, decide you enjoy being there, and then attempt to cleanse it of the owners? Yes. Because it is rude. And you're sure to really piss off anything that's living there. And aside from that, it's useless to attempt. Whatever is living there is a lot more powerful than your smoke - you're outnumbered and overpowered.)

- All this goes to say, if you do not know for damn sure that something is safe for you and everything around you to burn, ingest, inhale, or in any way combine, don't do it.

said "you're cute when you get all excited and into your work" when I was quickly explaining to him the different interpretations and connotations of a statue

has gotten up, made my morning tea and hung out with me every morning before my 9am exams

has actually walked me to my exam every day

he's also picked me up from my exam every day too (last two days he bought me boba on the way back)

went to visit a friend's accom and came back w a random glass and soup spoon (they're p cool tho)

we went to a museum for a date on our last day at uni and he was running from exhibition to exhibition going "yoooooo, that's so cool"

later went out for dinner and we especially ordered one of the drinks that got us a cool hip flask to take home

after dinner we stopped at Krispy Kreme because "pllleeaaaaasseee, I really want donuts babe :(("

went on holiday to Venice for a few days and every evening would send me a video telling me about what him and his family did that day

has given me an excuse to get away from my hectic family and look into my new topics for next year (I just have to say I'm going to call him and he keeps me company as I study)

we were supposed to have our first long distance film night but ended up watching silly YouTube videos (after he showed me some scary ones) and talking until 1:30am

has hyped me up and been very understanding when I've had worse mental health days

when I told him I want to get a bit more in shape and do some working out during term time and asked if he could help he excitedly agreed and that evening we did some squats on video call

interacts w my 3 sisters despite having never met them in person

[avalonthewitch]

"don't be too impressed, Babe," *goes to throw something across the room and into the bin* *misses* "Ah, you didn't see that, I definitely landed that, Babe," *stretches to flex muscles*

"I'm gonna go wash the dishes, Babe," *stands up to leave* *presses space bar on laptop* *laptop plays "Among Us Drip (1 hour loop)* *leaves*

has finished his exams now but is still staying at uni until my exams finish and has declared to bake every day until we move out

has developed a habit of hugging me, leaning into my hear and screaming like a cat

I have notifications on my phone throughout the day to drink water because I usually forget and dehydrate myself. He's started to memorise the time they're at and pushes my water bottle in front of me the moment he hears my phone buzz at that time.

he's pulled up a revision plan for me because I have been overwhelmed all term and my brain is fog

walked me to the library today and watched me set up and start work before he left

is on call for if I need anything during revision time

since I'm studying all the time and he has basically nothing to do, he does the food shop, cooks and does the dishes (I also did that during his exams)

helps me crack my back every day because I have *bad posture* and sit hunched over all day and stress is bunching my muscles together

keeps adding to the post-it note on my mirror - yesterday he added "I believe in you even if you don't"

we've basically adopted our friend that studies medicine, now that I'm focusing on studies 24/7, he makes sure they eat proper meals (we basically have family dinner), and forces them to leave the library at a normal time and go to sleep before midnight (this is a big improvement for them)

is helping me pack my things throughout this week so that I don't have to worry about it during exams (I have to leave my room the morning after my last exam)

Uni update

3rd week is soon to start. I have a deadline tomorrow for my essay that I've not finished the reading for. I have Latin sentences to translate for tomorrow. Two of my plants died because I couldn't save them after leaving them in someone else's care for 2 weeks over Christmas. I finished reading Chamber of Secrets and left Prisoner of Azkaban at home so have picked up The Light Fantastic instead. I have 5 books to return to the library and probably so many more to pick up for next week's reading and essay. Don't have covid but have a sore throat from shouting my heart out at Rocky Horror in the theatre last week. I feel like I could sleep for a week straight but every time I lie down to sleep I can't fall asleep. Pls halp.
