I'm giving my tomato plants fertilizer like every two or three days partially because they seem to love it and partially to offset the spider mites sucking them dry that this stupid fucking spider mite spray isn't killing. Anyway, it's real satisfying watching them respond to it and shoot out the lushest most verdant emerald greenery you can imagine

I'm doing the same thing with my lemon tree basically and whenever it gets its plant foods it's like YESSS and starts shooting out all kinds of new growth like crazy. It's got this one bit of new growth that's got leaves as big as my fucking hand like omg i love it. Did you know lemon leaves and shoots smell lemony?? wow, amazing. Too bad I don't live in a zone where it can reliably survive the winter in the ground

(My plan is to keep taking cuttings and keep it going as a line of clones until climate change lets me plant it)

Yeah digging a trench seems like a lot of work though and idk how i'd stop it from flooding. That's why i figure I'll just keep cloning until nature says "you'll never know cold again" yea
