Yellow Leaves AKA (FOUND IT!)

It says "bye".  Leafs!!!  My tomatoes, and (worse!) Basil, have a yellow pallor.  Internet says its either nutrients or fungus.  Also calcium absorption seems to have very specific watering requirements= I'm using pots so confused how that applies.  "One inch every three days" = wtf???   Also the sprinklers have been hitting my pots--not great for water regimen since I have no idea what their schedule is... Maybe I will put out a bucket to see, also spritz means the fungus is not ruled out.
At least I know the 8 things have been consistently moist.  They were in little tiny  seed planters, so shizy soil very possible.  And since they have not improved in my potting solution from the nursery, I mixed some fertilizer.
Our rad tomatoes + 2 herbs
The largest pot is my Black Krim--I have a lot of hope for its flavor.  As of 6/15 there are
two robust little 'maters on the way!

I don't know how to GET to the page with my Draft without publishing something.  But some  improvement.

Also, a week later, and Everything is looking great, even my basil.  I dunno if it was a little burned or what.  Need tomato food, though.  Amazon has some, but I would rather just find it in a store provided the prices are comparable.  I got slug copper tape and the pesticide that halley used on our devestated garden three years ago.  Need a spay bottle.  Plan was to bike to home depot.  But it is super close to Craft Fair time.  ****.  At least I accomplished a contact sync.  I need to hit the verizon store, move back to my old Motorolla while I figure out what to do about a replacement.  (Don't want to lose Unlimited--do I go over 2 GB?  NO!  But it is the threat of unknown demands!  well, I heard overages were not bad....  I should just let go.  Like J let go of 64 GB for a 32 HTC One.  Rotten paperwork stole the first away from him.  Oh well, oh well.)
Future noms!  :D  It was  in the 50's last night so I moved the plants to the much warmer garage.


Basil is getting bushy-I took some bigger leaves for food yesterday, trying to trim from the insides where they compete more for light.  To the Right is my bolting cilantro.  Never got a chance to eat some: lame.  They don't look much greener, but part of that is the lighting this morning.

Whaaaaat?  That's not a pepper!  haha.

Errors in Touch Capacitive Project...

Image
I knotted up the + LED and LilyPad port connections before class. All of my leds turned on, and are sitting there, on.  :/  my program is so simple, it is flawless!  (apparently not.)  But I know that, last week, with one alligator clip, I totes got different readings on my lovely, crunch sensors (they are inside the sleeves). maybe it is a mis-sew on my circuit. that could be a problem later. Straightened it out, still solid LEDs. In case things were touching that ought not to be, I put on my sweater.  The only times the lights go OFF is when they are pressed on the foil beneath them.  As discovered by my curious work partner.  Pressed...  hmmmm.  Well, never mind that now!   *POP* across my shoulders.  well, that's not good.  I ripped my left sleeve line trying to stretch it out to tighten, just in case that first pop wasn't a rip.  They sounded similar.  LED's still on. I updated my sketch/pro...

Final Project Ratchets up Budget.

Image
phew!  ordered some reflective suspenders and "ankle straps" for my final project.  This should be the end of my purchases, I will have all of the framework.  Approximately $60 out of pocket, and I was able to use a $40 in-class budget.  (I mean, I would have saved 25 just being able to scavenge the controller from an old class project, but she wants a giant show-and-tell at the end of the semester.  And I did go fancy with the leds.  Just didn't think suspenders would cost 17!  psshhhhh!  But materials to make my own crusty ones would cost about the same, and take a lotta time.)  Which goes for the arm bands.  Buy velcro, elastic, reflective tape (okay, that was optional), find a sewing machine, hope it doesn't fall apart or otherwise suck.  Knit some?  I did not see them sticking to my arm very well, and it would be closed loops to pull up.  I guess... how would one attach velcro to a knit swatch?  But the TIME. ...

Invasion? I think not.

I decided to go with security in the final hour, and link my blog to the class discussion.  "Online Anonymity" will potentially go out the window.  Rather threatening.  But I comfort myself with this: no one CARES enough to follow a link these days.  Only the teacher will see it.  Maybe 1 or 2 curious and most likely kind souls.  nbd. well, I'm falling asleep sitting up again.  :/  can I just text in to work sick NOW.  Save myself the threat of all those nasty viruses and SLEEP? Finishing the blog that has been weighing on my mind is a great relief, though.  ish.  still have to fix the darn bracelet. I want to get my sewing machine repaired, then bowshit like all that hand sewing would be a thing of the past.  "tacking" instead of actual... *shudder* consistency.  Would not want to hook up silver thread to sewing machine, though.  To 'spensive I bet.  But for the regular sewing bits, yeah.  I actuall...
