African Violet Thread
Today I got the second wave done of transferring my violets to the glass wick reservoirs. Now the second and bottom shelves are done. Before (Reposted from the other day): After: Third wave will be the basement plants. I also have to repot some. -

That’s the same one! 😍 I love my yarn winders! Worked on that mess off and on for two days, and got it done last night! -

Look what I found at Goodwill yesterday! It reminded me of my old girl, Liesl. I’ll always miss you, Puppy!- Finnie

Crocheters Thread
A couple of things I’ve been working on lately. I’m combing the internet for all different kinds of flower squares and making each square a different flower until I use up that purple yarn. Then I’m going to do other sets of squares in different color combinations and other types of flowers to... -

Thank you very much! I don’t know about green fingers. Maybe a little bit after all these years of outdoor gardening, and doing the indoor plant thing off and on my whole life. @Finchbreeder I know you from the emu threads. I think you have mentioned before what kinds of finches you breed. I... -

This one is a trailer called Ellie Gardner. I got it from a seller on Etsy. I’m not sure if there are any “easy” ones, but if there are, that is one of them! Because I have just left it in the starter cup it came in for over 2 years now, and it has thrived and gotten big and it blooms a lot... -

African Violet Thread
Here are some photos of my African violets. I’ve been buying them (and trying to grow them) since 2021. So so many have bloomed one time and then died. I’ve set a bazillion leaves and gotten a trillion baby plants, but very few of them lived long enough to bloom. This fall, I noticed that the... -

I might try that. I only found a handful of threads that didn’t get much responses.- Finnie

Thanks! It goes in waves whether they flourish or all start dying off. 🫢 I always wick them when I go on vacation and most of them seem to like that. But that’s with communal water trays, which evaporate and slant and don’t work too well for long term. People on YouTube use these individual...- Finnie

What Mug Are You Using Today?
I haven’t used this mug in a long time. I’ve been collecting all that glassware from Goodwills and Dollar Tree because I’m converting all my African Violets to wick watering. Here is how the plant stand used to be: And here is after the first wave of putting them on the new glassware: I ran...- Finnie

What went wrong? 40 viable eggs going into lockdown, only 14 hatched!
I wouldn’t be so quick to blame the high spike in the humidity. It’s more probable that because of the relatively high humidity throughout the first 18 days, that there was just a lot of fluid in the eggs that didn’t get a chance to evaporate out. So when the chicks did their internal pip, they...- Finnie

Crocheters Thread
I haven’t blocked anything before either, but when I learned to knit and do Tunisian crochet, I learned how to block because those things need it more often. I just did a quick search, and it looks like the reason to block a granny square blanket would be to make the edges of the squares more...
