CULTIVATION AND GARDENING -- OCTOBER 28

CULTIVATION AND GARDENING

Last week, if you remember, a few of us planted our Amaryllis bulbs into pots and set them under some manufactured light sources, all this week I've been watering them and seeing them come to life.

After you planted your bulbs, what was your first thought of how they'd turn out? Do you expect them to grow wild and die within the week, or do you expect them to live and grow through out the season, blooming fully in the Spring time.

Bulbs will flower in 7-10 weeks as a general rule. In winter the flowering time will be longer than in spring.

Kiki grins. "Oooh! Mine's sprouted! That's a good sign, so I hope it will flower...maybe in time for Christmas."

*signs in, looking a little rough and generally annoyed*

Paige looks at her pot ((which in theory has nothing in it, since the mun didn't chose a bulb))

She sighs "nope nothing there, I probably put it in the wrong way round."

"That's what I was hoping as well, Kiki. I hope that you'll have them in time to give them to loved ones as gifts." he smiles, "Good idea?"

Re: Discussion

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"I'll help you fix that, Paige." he rolls up his sleeves and stuffs his hands into her pot, he gently turned the bulb the right way up. "It'll sprout within the day." he assured her, looking at her annoyed state.

Re: Discussion

Paige laughs "Wow I really didn't think I was that stupid but apparently so! Thanks sir"

Chihaya signs in and stays to the back since he couldn't make it last week and has to catch up now.

Re: Current Roster

[positive-angel.livejournal.com]

Sir? I thought had signed a roster twice now indicating my interest. Is there still room?

Re: Current Roster

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Yes there is, I swear I put you on the list. Please plant a bulb (http://www.livejournal.com/users/jquayle/4763.html#cutid1).

Re: Discussion

He chuckles, "You're not stupid, bulbs are hard to plant when you have things on your mind." he looks concerned. Annoyed students make for a tense teaching environment.

Re: Discussion

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

She smiles a little "yeah well I've certainly got things on my mind, I'll try to ignore them during class though."

She sighs heavily god I miss him

"It's alright", he pats her hands, "Now, what do you expect of this little bulb of yours now?"

Plant a Bulb

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

If you didn't last class. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/jquayle/4763.html#cutid1)

Re: Discussion

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"Yes," agrees Kiki. "I could give it to my Mom - she'd be really pleased. I don't have a nuclear brown thumb after all!"

Re: Discussion

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige gives him an odd look wondering if he's always like this or is patronising her.

"Erm I expect it to grow I guess, beyond that, not much."

Re: Plant a Bulb

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige choses to plant a Red Peacock Amaryllis

Re: Sign-In

Rogue signs in.

Re: Plant a Bulb

Rogue picks out an Apple Blossom bulb. "These are beautiful." She follows the planting instructions.

Re: Discussion

Justin would never patronize a young girl, not him. "Well, that's pretty simple but what do you look forward to? When it's bloomed, do you want to give it away as a present or keep it yourself?"

Re: Plant a Bulb

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"Yes, those are gorgeous." he agrees as he watches her plant the bulb, marking it down as wonderfully done. "Bloody good job, Rogue. Real green thumb you have."
