Also text everyone I know updates, whether they want them or not. The beans are beaning and this is critical information.

Every day I go stare at my seed staring trays for a while and call them my lil babies and give them a pep talk

Glad I’m not the only one!
I am constantly fiddling around in my grow room.
– Planting more.
– Up-planting.
– Moving the fan / lights / shifting pots / moving pots around.
– Experimenting.
– Reading about the plants.
– Talking to them, “Looking absolutely stunning! Look at those strong, healthy leaves. You’re going to be a star! Or a cucumber, either way, looking lovely today.” 🤣
– Singing and Dancing around them with my morning coffee lol.
– Finding another reason to unnecessarily plant new seeds.
– Mixing soil.
– Making labels.
– Would you look at that? Maybe I should probably plant just one more seed.

My wife and I do it! After work we go into the grow room and put on some music for the seedlings, have a beer and talk about our day to unwind before going in the house to make dinner and be responsible parents to our 4 kids. It’s the best, like a little mini week night date.

I just set up “basement movie night” for my son so I can hang out with my plants (and him lol)

I putt putt every evening and look at all my plants, pull weeds, water anything if needed and check on produce growth. I love it and am enjoying it for the next few months before it becomes ungodly hot here

I WAS JUST DOING THIS. A good five minutes or so. My cat broke me out of my reverie asking for dinner.

I do the same thing. As soon as I get home from work I have to go check on my seedlings. I love garden season.
It would be abnormal if you didn’t.
its not normal not to.
When I am lost, I find myself looking at the saplings under the grow light. It calls to me
That’s creepy….at least talk to them like I do…
I sure hope so 😂 Most of mine are now outside (9B) and I’m just like…

Yes, unless you are whispering “grow damn you, grow!”
Probably healthy to do it at least once daily
I’ve very rarely been accused of being normal, but I definitely do this lol
Yes
