#propagation from cuttings

[jensownzoo]

Minor amount of transplanting done this morning.

My two pots of Thai sweet basil have grown sufficient roots so into a deck railing box they go.

They've got nasturtiums and a French marigold to keep them company. And of course because of squirrels:

A nice protective grill to keep them put until the box fills out a bit more.

My original transplant of Thai sweet basil flanked by parsley in another deck railing box but in the back. Yes there is a wire napkin holder upturned over the basil (squirrels again). Doing good despite a decent amount of shade throughout the day. The direct-seeded French marigold is just starting to get hints of true leaves. So many came up that I'm going to have to start transplanting some of them out of the box next week.

Volunteer coleus growing in a decent-sized pot on the porch. Since coleus and pineapple sage are both thirsty bitches, I decided this was a good place to transplant the rooted cutting.

One of the two surviving cuttings is definitely healthier than the other. I'll give the second one a chance, but if it hasn't perked up in a week or so it'll get culled.

Two cells of loofah (luffa, luffah...however you want to spell it) seedlings in one of the raised beds in back.

And here's the structure they'll grow on. The loofah and passionflower vine can duke it out, one on each side. Hopefully by planting out the loofah now it will lure all the striped cucumber beetles into the back of the house so next month I can plant cucumbersnin the front with fewer problems. Probably not as I think the best strategy is just timing, but I can hope.

Volunteer redbud tree that I had to remove from a garden bed. Put it into this Tidy Cats litter bucket planter with the extra Chinese cabbage to see if it wants to be a tree. If so, I'll retransplant it later when it's big enough to stand above the ground cover in the side yard.

Bonus flowers:

The peas are going nuts. Hoping for a good crop. What I don't use right away will get blanched and frozen for stir-fries later.

i need to learn how to propigate houseplants from cuttings

@concussedwombat is a potter so we end up with a lot of extra pottery... after seeing how much people are charging for houseplants on Facebook Marketplace, i realized that he could sell a lot more pottery if there were plants in it

[positivelyqueer]

the amount of joy I received from purchasing and propagating eight indoor plants to fill my bathroom is unequivocal.

my propagated babies :)

Fascinating to me that there are signs at a local plant nursery near me that says "proplifting IS stealing" like ok man. Mad that I can make a plant grow from a leaf are we

[jensownzoo]

It's my rest day so not doing much in the garden except checking on things and some light harvesting. Pulled a few Pink Beauty radishes to give the dill and cilantro a little more room. The chickens went nuts over them (unfortunately I don't like radishes no matter how tasty they look).

I did get a second harvest of Chinese broccoli today, enough for a side serving for dinner.

The tomatillos are already flowering and it's a bit comical how different the flowers are between the two varieties. Not sure if cross-pollination for fruit production is going to work. I'm down to four plants now--a cutworm or something took out the fifth seedling at the soil line. The squirrels stole all the fruit last year (after the flea beetles tried to wipe out the seedlings) so I was hoping to get some fruit this year.

Speaking of squirrels, interrupted one trying to dig up all my Chires Baby corn on the front porch. So now those two containers have the top part of a guinea pig cage protecting them. It killed one nasturtium and damaged two corn seedlings (we'll see if they recover). There's still plenty for pollination, though these are meant to be harvested in the baby stage. Might let one or two ears mature for seed, but I do still have enough from last year so we'll see.

In good news the Mammoth Russian sunflowers and sweet annie are doing really well. I did transplant the extra sunflower seedlings (four) from the direct sowing part to their own spots in my greed to keep all of them instead of thinning. I'm putting the pots over those at night, but leaving the foot tall ones (and the sweet annie) exposed now. So far so good...

Passionfruit vine is returning! It's in the new strawberry bed in back and I'll be able to direct the vines to climb up the sunchokes and fence panel trellis in the adjacent bed.

I'm also surprised to see just how much wild white aster reseeded in the side yard. The bees are going to love this in the early fall.

In propagation news, one of two French tarragon cuttings has taken, which is fantastic. Just doubled my gain from the one plant I had to purchase this year. Will get this into it's own terracotta pot and into the cold frame soonish.

But also having success with the other cuttings. Took their little humidity-raising baggies off yesterday. Two of the pineapple sage (front) look great, one is struggling. All cuttings of Thai Sweet basil (rear two pots) are doing fantastic. I have found that this variety of basil is really yummy in scrambled eggs, so I plan on a few more rounds of cuttings to keep it going through the season.

And finally the cardinal climber I sowed last week is up. I think I'll transplant it to grow up the wire fence trellis in front when it's ready, one for each end to spread towards the middle.

I inherited my gramma’s house plant when she passed a few years ago. Nothing exotic, just a golden pothos. It’s older than I am. She got it from a cutting her mom gave her.

Her mom got hers by secretly taking a cutting from a plant in the corner of her doctor’s office in the 80s and bringing it home in her purse.

everyone keeps trying to take my leaves off and snip cuttings from my stem so they can Propagate me

[reminiscingthesea]

Synopsis (finally spelt it right)- Yandere popular Phainon x Nerdy loser reader who thinks no one likes her… mmmmmghhhh..

A/N- Tysm for the support on my last fic!! The ending was kinda rushed LAWL😓 I had to go out that day and I didn’t wanna leave it unfinished 🧍🏽‍♀️ set in college au btw

Warning- Stalking, mentions of violence and gore, self deprecating thoughts, sexual thoughts, reader is such a loser tbh…

.

.

.

What did it mean to be alone? Did it mean you’d have nobody around you for comfort? Did it mean you were just an invisible speck of dust in the eyes of everyone around you? Were you truly lovable? Would you die alone?

These were all questions you grew quite familiar with the existence of, as they’d live in your mind rent free, propagating at the sight of love and passion in the world around you. It hurt, of course it did. Knowing you would never experience such luxuries.

But over time, you grew used to it. You grew used to the silent murmur of degrading thoughts, that lingered at the back of your head, only growing in volume slightly as you’d pass by some random couple cooped up in the lone corner of the library, away from prying eyes besides your own, making out passionately behind a bookshelf, such as right now.

Groaning at the filthy, public display of affection, you kicked off your seat, holding your heavy books to your chest, slinging your backpack- which was filled with even heavier books- over your shoulder, and making your way out your once safe haven of literature and knowledge, which was now dominated by lust. You didn’t wanna think of what that couple may be doing now, with nobody around. As you walked, those thoughts that would ring in your head somehow got louder, it was unbearable for some odd reason- but not enough for you to collapse or anything- but just enough for you to lose focus, causing you to collide with something hard and firm, resulting in you tripping up pathetically and dropping your books with a slight gasp.

“S-sorry-“ You whispered apologetically realising what you had bumped into wasn’t a wall, but a person. Nervousness seeped into your voice as you frantically reached to pick up your books, that were now spread out across the floor, with desperate hands.

“Oh god, are you hurt?? Do you need me to take you to the nurse’s office?” Called out a gentle, handsome voice as their shadow grew smaller, the sight of pale, large- but bony hands- reaching out to hold your shoulder, gazing into your eyes with worry, which were fixated onto the floor in embarrassment.

“I’m fine I-“ Your words were cut short once your head had finally lifted up to meet with his. Your eyes locked onto his, which were dominated with a beautiful hue of azure blue, with small yellow pupils that resembled the sun. You felt your face heating up at the very close distance between your nose and his, glancing away shyly. “Yes, I’m fine. Thank you.” You’d say meekly, trying to get up, but feeling something heavy weigh you down. You forgot about that heavy bag you carried. You then heard a soft chuckle, that reverberated nicely through your ear due to the close contact.

“You sure? That bag of yours seems to be holding you down a bit. Here, lemme carry it for you.” Without a second thought, he effortlessly unhooked your bag’s strap around your shoulder, and lifted it up, as if it weighed nothing. The loss of weight made you think more clearly, as you managed to grab all your books and smaller trinkets in quicker succession. You felt his large, warm palm on your back as he coaxed you to stand up slowly, following through just as gently.

“We can go to my dorm room and you could just drop my bag off for me there, if that’s okay with you..” You muttered quietly, avoiding his gaze, knowing it would only make you even more awkward if you kept your eyes on his. He beamed brightly at this, and although you weren’t looking at him, you could easily hear the innocent smile in his voice as he spoke.

“That’s fine with me! And don’t worry, I’m used to carrying heavier objects, so this is light work for me~” He exclaimed proudly, without a care in the world for whoever may hear his less-than-egotistical tone that boomed throughout the empty hallways. You thought it was.. cute. But there was a lingering feeling in you that secreted less-than-innocent thoughts into your mind. ‘God, could he carry you around like that with minimal effort, and boast about it for everyone to hear?’ You thought to yourself as the pair of you walked, growing closer to your dormitory. Once the dirtier thoughts dissipated away, another thought came.

“..Uhm, you’re Phainon, right? Captain of the sports team? Shouldn’t you be with your team training or something?” You asked curiously, now turning your head to look at him, having to tilt it upwards slightly to meet his gaze, due to the slight height difference between the two of you, which stirred even more sensations in you, that you tried to ignore as he spoke.

“Ah, training is cancelled for us today. One of my members was gravely injured a few nights prior, and I, as the sports captain, firmly believe that a good days training must include the whole squad. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to critic each other, and build stronger bonds between us all equally!” Phainon declared virtuously, holding his head up high with his eyes closed, a hand over his heart. At this, you giggled softly, admiring his show of righteousness and dedication to his team.

“They must feel so lucky to have such a strong-willed captain such as yourself, who cares so much about his teammates, Phainon..” You admitted gently, before wanting to take it all back as you realised how corny you may have sounded. Gosh, you couldn’t even form a proper compliment. Was he creeped out by you now? Did you make him cringe? Did he find you weird now?

Amidst your internal turmoil, Phainon laughed quietly, a faint pink flush spreading onto pale, slim cheeks, his voice now taking on a more shyer, sheepish tone as he began once more.

“You’re praising me too much here. I’m sure they’re more than happy to have me as their captain, I know I am. But I fear I’m sometimes a bit too encouraging at times, which may overwhelm them a bit. I’m working on it though!”

To that, you smiled at him sympathetically, acknowledging his worries as he now had his face down turned and away from yours.

“I’m not the best at comforting, but if you’re worrying too much about how you’re training your team mates, then maybe that’s a good thing, y’know? Worrying about things like this just means you’re worrying out of good will, which shows that you truly care. I’m more than certain your team mates are aware of this, but if it’s bothering you so much, why don’t you talk to them about it? I’m sure they’d understand.” You spoke calmly, the words flowing out your mouth with precision. As you said, you weren’t the best at comforting another person, you couldn’t even help yourself, but the topic of bad thoughts and feelings was something you knew like the back of your hand, so why not at least try to comfort someone on a topic you knew so well?

“I.. thank you. I guess I never saw it that way, I always thought my worries were a product of my own faults, which in turn, would make me even more worried.” He admitted lightly, his voice becoming less pronounced and more relaxed, which was short lived as he continued yet again, tone now taking up a more teasing lilt. “..Though, I didn’t take someone as quiet as you to be such a smooth talker. You’ve got a way with words, that’s for sure. I almost thought my heart was about to jump out and end me right there!” He grinned, his expression becoming less somber, and more playful as he teased you, monitoring your own expression shifting from one of pity, to one of surprise.

“You’re just teasing me now.. I’m really not that good with words. I just know how it feels to be overwhelmed with such thoughts, I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through that, especially someone as hardworking as yourself.”

As you both drew to the entrance of your room’s door, which was situated in a lone corner of the campus, where other quiet kids liked to stay, he flashed you a boyish, toothy grin.

“Hmm, say what you want. It’s always the quiet ones who shock us louder ones with their words the most. Oh! I forgot to ask you for your name, I don’t think we’ve met before.”

“Oh, sorry. I’m [Name]. Uh, I like to study literature and ancient texts, but I major in science. Not that you needed to know all of that anyways.” You answered absentmindedly as you fumbled with your key in the door’s lock hole, opening it quietly, picking up your bag and looking at him.

“Oh, no way! I also like to study ancient texts! I major in history, so we have something in common! Here, I’ll give you my number, we can chat more frequently!!” He chirped happily, quickly swiping a pen from his pant’s pocket and grabbing your hand, scribbling his number messily onto your palm.

“Our schedules may be different, but I’ll still look for time to talk to you, [Name]. I gotta run though, I have an essay to complete for Professor Anaxa..” Dullness and gloom creeped into his tone as he rolled his eyes, which you could only copy. Professor Anaxa- or Anaxagoras as he liked it- was definitely someone you’re glad didn’t teach practical science, and instead, theoretical and spiritual science, as well as history.

“I can imagine that.. anyways, bye Phainon! I’ll add you later.” You waved him goodbye, before disappearing into your dorm and shutting the door with a last smile to him, locking it securely.

‘Perfect.’ He thought to himself, as he began his journey back to his own dorm, his footsteps echoing through the hallway as he walked.

.

.

.

You sat at your desk at the peak time of exactly 3:58am in the morning, papers messily scattered across the wooden expanses, as pen met paper hastily, untidily. You were so unbelievably tired of being assigned research project after research project by your ever so cruel, demanding professor, who happened to be an even crueller teacher than Professor Anaxagoras, or Anaxa as Phainon liked to call him.

Speaking of Phainon, you had forgotten to add his number to your contact list. Getting up and walking over to your bedside to unplug your fully charged phone from its charger, you couldn’t help but notice something small and black on your bed’s headboard, just above where you’d rest your head on your pillow. Assuming it was just a mere bug, you flicked it away with your fingers, and opened your phone, adding Phainon’s number.

What you didn’t know, was that said ‘bug’ wasn’t gone.

.

.

Phainon leaned over his own desk, nervously looking at his computer screen as you stared at the camera he had placed to discreetly in the middle of one night. He was a mess, even messier than those papers that mapped out your desk, that were littered with scribbles and whatnot. Drenched in sweat, biting his nails whilst running another hand through his now matted, damp white locks, he stared in anticipation. It didn’t help how you also hadn’t added his phone number and messaged him hours prior. You must’ve hated him, he thought.

As you flicked the camera aimlessly and turned to your phone, he let out a long sigh of utmost relief, as if he weighed nothing, slumping back on his chair in solitude. He was at his desk all day after the two of you parted ways, he was glad he had a reason to, considering it would be more than suspicious if the captain of the sport’s team wasn’t at training today..

He reminisced shortly on the scene from last night, as he followed one of his members home from practice. Said member was giving you the dirtiest of looks a few days prior in a crowded hallway, laughing and making odd faces as you’d walk by. Phainon knew he just couldn’t let such a crime to unpunished, especially with that dejected, sad look on your face. Oh how he wanted to break his stupid teammate’s legs right then and there, and just bunch you up in his arms and take you away someplace else, comforting you and praising you gently whilst peppering kisses all over your sad face.. he wondered if you were into praise and manhandling , though, he did know that going for that route would mean carnage. So instead, he simply opted for just the first part instead, breaking that bastard’s knees of course!

He had cornered the unknowing guy in the middle of an alleyway from behind, and was clad in a dark black hoodie, with the inside of the hood being purple, dark pants, and black gloves to remove any DNA evidence from his bat if it was ever taken into custody. With one swift hand, he drove his bat hard against the other boy’s knees, which made him cry out and fall. To avoid raising suspicions, he bent over the figure and hit him harder, whilst digging his shoe over his mouth, silencing him effectively. Once his legs were on the verge of breaking, as he checked by roughly twisting them with his free foot to check for any fractures, he bent down further, lifting him up by his shirt’s collar.

“You wanna talk shit about my [Name]? I’ll cut your tongue off clean and shove it down your throat like the mangy dog you are. And I know where you live, and I also happen to know that your stupid little sister’s being bullied. We wouldn’t want her bullies to go further, would we? So keep your mouth shut, unless you want to see her hanging from her ceiling tomorrow.” His voice was muffled, due to the hoodie’s collar covering his mouth. With a swift kick to his face, he concealed his bat and started walking off into the night, making it back to the campus and sneaking in through his window, to avoid raising any suspicions.

Back to the current moment, he let out an involuntary moan, as he felt something warm and gooey coat his shorts. He chuckled softly as he lifted them up, seeing the white expanse of his cum coating his underwear and shorts, as well as his big, lengthy cock, his angry tip pulsating and spewing out more cum somehow. He gently rubbed his thumb against his tip.

“Tsk.. I’ve made such a mess.. if only you were here, [Name]. You’d look so sweet cleaning this mess up you made me make.. I bet you’d be so fucking loud too, gagging and choking over me.” He spoke reverently, imagining you sucking his dick lovingly, on your knees and looking up at him with those beautiful eyes of yours, his cock spreading open your lips. Oh, how he wished his cock could spread open both sets of your lips.. With a sigh, he peeled off his bottoms and carried them into his bathroom, along with his phone. Setting his phone aside, he piled his boxers and shorts with his other dirty clothes in the laundry basket by his cupboards, before hopping into the shower to draw some cold water from the shower head, but not before placing his phone in a safe corner, away from any water, just to watch you on an app that could also monitor your activities through that camera placed in your room, that had, by miracle, not flung to a dusty corner of your room as you flicked it away with no thought. It was definitely reliable, to say the least. Being able to watch you from anywhere was most certainly a good pastime.

.

.

Anxiousness creeped into your mind as you were thinking of a message to send Phainon. Would you be nonchalant? Overly sweet? Funny?? Your fingers hovered over the keyboard as you thought of a message to send him, before finally tapping the appropriate keys for each word in your message.

[Name]: “Hi Phainon!! I’m really sorry I didn’t add your number before, I was really cooped up with work and assignments, so I didn’t get the chance to contact you earlier today!”

You anxiously waited for a reply, but didn’t get one for a few minutes. Thoughts lingered in your head- Was he asleep? Was he airing you on purpose for not messaging him sooner? Was he angry at you? Did he find you annoying? Were you just a charity case?-

Your endless supply of thoughts came to a sudden halt as you heard the nice ‘ding!’ of your phone, and his message pop up at the top of your screen in banner form.

Phainon: “Hey [Name] !! It’s completely fine, I was busy too with my own affairs, so you’re not to blame! I will admit, I was still a bit upset when I didn’t receive any response or notification of a message from you tho… (*´Д｀*)…”

The usage of those deathly adorable emoticons, and his ‘texting language’ in his message made you coo and squeal in delight, you didn’t think such a popular, charming guy would use such displays in his texts. Though, he was quite bubbly in real life too. You couldn’t help but wonder if he’d also use these cute emoticons with his friends as you typed out your response message.

[Name]: “Omg I’m so sorry! :(( I’ll make up for it, I swear. Idk how, but I will!! 😼 And btw, that emoticon was so cute!! I didn’t think someone like you would use them!”

Phainon: “Haha, I do like to use them from time to time. They really capture how I feel yk? Typical emojis don’t exactly cut it for me (＞人＜;)..”

Before you could write your own reply back, he sent another message in quick succession.

Phainon: “Besides, someone as cute as you deserves to be spoken to in equally as cute ways ^_−☆”

At this, you flushed greatly and fell onto your bed, kicking your feet and burying your face into your pillow. There was absolutely no way in hell such a popular guy just called some loser like you cute! But he did complement your manner of speech a lot earlier… Despite feeling so cringed out in the moment, you also simply couldn’t help but feel like a lovesick fool, fantasising about being his girlfriend, what it would be like.

[Name]: “Oh wow, thanks Phainon. I honestly don’t know what to say- I’ve never been spoken to like this before 😭 ty tho, I really appreciate it. :))” You sent back quickly, not caring how corny or stupid you may have sounded with that text, simply focusing on a life with Phainon as his girlfriend, walking hand in hand after games.. going on romantic dates.. him saving you from the clutches of your dark thoughts..

Phainon: “Aww, I’m surprised nobody’s ever spoken the truth! Well, I’m here now, and I’ll 100% make sure you know your worth!! Anyways, you better get to sleep, or I’ll drag myself back to your dorm and put you to sleep myself ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ !”

[Name]: “Okay I willlll dw!! I’m putting my assignments away as we speak- or type. My stupid prof assigns sm work everyday! Now I’m regretting ever thinking poorly of Prof Anaxagoras, I’d rather have him! 😞💔 Anyways, to avoid your wrath, I’ll go to sleep, but you better too! Ik I said you’re a good team captain, but even captains need good rest too!! Goodnight!”

.

.

.

Phainon laughed huskily at the sight of you blushing and kicking your feet on your bed at his message, as he rewatched the recorded footage on his phone- since he was busy washing himself up-. He had meant every word in his message, no denying that. You were the sweetest, most cutest thing he had ever come across in his life before, and it was his duty to make that known to you. Albeit, it was difficult at first, considering how distant the two of you were, regarding classes, cliques, personal schedules and whatnot. But now, he had done it, and he had definitely implemented himself into your mind. But he didn’t want to assume he was fully in control, that just didn’t sit right with him. Because although he had made you swoon, you were truly the owner of his heart.

As he made himself comfortable in his own bed, after having cleaned himself and his room up, now watching the live footage from your room. You were indeed curled up in your bed, as he watched from the sneaky camera on your headboard. The camera had night-light vision, so he could easily see your soft, peaceful sleeping face. Your lashes fluttered gently over your soft cheeks, oh, how he wanted to squish your face so hard ‘til it’d burst.. he’s sure confetti and glitter would come out !

Alas, he himself put his phone down, keeping it next to his head on his pillow. He had only your notifications on, in case you were in a life threatening emergency, and required his knightly aid. He felt himself drifting off, his face pressed against the cloth of his pillow, which was actually one of your old t-shirts, that was coated with your scent, as if it was sewn in along with the cloth.. Your scent, the memories of today- and yesterday-, made him sleep like a baby reborn, a sweet smile gracing his features.

Part 2
