Project Random Grow Update: Indoor Growing

I neglected to post an update on Project Random Grow after I moved all the plants inside my house to avoid the sub-40 temperatures. After seeing that the chili plants were going nowhere, I decided to dump them. The strawberry plant was also going nowhere and at one point was infested with well over 100 baby spiders. Sounds horrific, but when they’re the size of ticks and spread out it doesn’t look so bad! 

This is the window sill in the bird room which is where most of the plants occupy. This window seems to get the most sunlight. To the left is my tomato plant which I’ve trimmed down. Next to it is some kind of flower (a lily?) that hasn’t bloomed any flowers since its first bloom, and on the right is the mango tree which seems to have stopped growing.

It’s interesting note: the tomatoes that fell to the soil have sprouted! So if you want to grow some extra tomato plants from your existing one is to just drop some tomatoes on top of some soil and let it do its thing.

The avocado trees have had some problems with browning leaves which is why they are barren on their bottom half. Right now they’re around 40 inches in height—not including the buckets they’re in.

My fantastic meyer lemon trees which have had ripe fruit on them for a couple months now. I’ve left the fruit on for so long that it decided to keep growing more. See the white flowers at the top?

Obligatory lemon in hand shot. The trees consistently produce fairly large and super juicy lemons.

And finally, a little surprise.. Going to try to grow this big avocado seed!
