That's when you know you've truly hit bottom.
Fucking bugs and birds! We had 80" of rain this Winter, everything's in overdrive. Grass around the property is 3 ft high, dont have time to deal with CalFires "rules", cuz the garden is priority #1. Biggest headache, ie assrape to start the year? SOWBUGS, roly-polys, pill bugs, whatev... SENT FROM THE SEVENTH LEVEL OF HELL!!!!

I lost 2/3 of my starts this year due to these fuckers. I lost ~$1000 worth of hard to find, top-shelf Bodhi et al seeds because of these DEMONS!!! Diatamaceous Earth is my new best friend. I thought is was birds plucking the starts, so I put up Mylar scarecrow ribbon, prob persisted, and the birds just shit on everything anyhow.
I did a second and third round of starts, finally have 180 decent starts to choose the final 50 from. Amendments are in place, gender is starting to show, thank Jeebus.

I've been in a shit mood all day. I slept good, got up on the wrong side of the bed, took a nap (I NEVER can just take a nap, but I did), still got up on the wrong side of the bed. I dunno what it is. I'm off work for the next five days, have nothing to do but spend time with my family, and what I'd really like to do is just bitch slap the first mother fucker that desperately deserves it.
I'm also outta weed, so that may have something to do with it.

Dont cha hate when:
You start the day watering, and 5 min in your main pump breaks. Since you were smart, you ordered a replacement pump so you have no down time. Cut the pipes, connect the pipes, turn on the pump and nothing......... Good thing it has a warrentee right? O wait, I never sent that in........

My old pickup truck was stolen yesterday. I was helping a couple who had no place to stay until they could cash a check Tuesday. I fed them and they stayed overnight in a second dwelling here. Then, the girl said she lost her phone and asked if she could look in my truck. I was feeling pretty crappy so I handed her the keys... I'M SUCH A DUMBASS!!!
The worst part is they saw my outside grow. If/when they're caught, I'll bet they tell the cops hoping for a lighter sentence. A neighbor, who also grows outside, offered to take the 5 gallon buckets and smaller pots to his place... but that was last night and I haven't heard from him since then. I hope he comes over soon because I'm really nervous about it.
Did I mention that I'm a DUMBASS?!?!

What ever happened with that b_t?
I have another funny rant. So remember my original post about the inverter? Well that was run on a 12v battery. The battery ran out and i charged it for days and it just wouldnt work. I couldnt get it to run the inverter. So i spent $300 sometjing on romex to get power to the garden. Just today i take a look at my 12v battery charger. ITS A FLOAT TRICKLE CHARGER. It keeps charged batteries charged. It doesnt charge empty batteries hahahahhaha what the fuckkk.

I went to buy a 300gal water tank today for mixing my root drenches. drove an hour to the store that had them. When they loaded it into my truck i couldn't find my tie down straps, must have been stolen out of the back. But the guys said it would be fine without any tiedowns and i listened...
5 minutes on the road and i had just put some music on the radio and when i looked in my rearview mirror the tank was gone, flew out of the bed of my truck. I drove back the same way i came but didn't see it anywhere. so there goes $400 and 3 hours of my time. and i still need a fucking tank.
really not my day. guess its my fault for not securing the tank but i have so much shit on my mind right now...
