I guess with the influx of new users to the Fediverse, we're doing introductions now, so here's mine:

So this whole #Friendica #SelfHosting experiment has been a smashing success. This will be the last post I boost from my legacy accounts, and I'll be checking them with less frequency. If you've not followed the new account, now would be a good time.
I want to extend a special thanks to opencube and fosstodon for giving me my first taste of the #fediverse.

Day 0
TIL that our local library gives out seeds for free. @Katy Lamothe and I have wanted to try growing our own food for a while (if only on a small scale; we're in an apartment).
We planted the following:
- green arrow peas
- orange sun peppers
- grand rapids letuce
We have no idea what we're doing, but are excited to see where this goes.

Day 4
I forgot to take a picture yesterday, but there was no real change anyway. Today is different; we have our first sprouts and I'm very excited. The ones that have sprouted so far are one green arrow pea, and two Grand Rapids lettuce plants.

The first photo shows a container with several small plant pots. The following three are close ups of individual pots with small sprouts beginning to emerge.

Day 5
Sprouts are more obvious today and we now have a new one. In total we now have two peas and two lettuces sprouting. Still no peppers yet, but I fear I may have overwatered initially.

Day 7
A little more progress today. The first green arrow pea is starting to look like a pea pod, with the others not that far behind.

Day 7.5
Picked up some more supplies and some seeds for "New Mexico 6 Chili Peppers". These ones came with more detailed directions. I'm beginning to think that my other peppers haven't sprouted yet because I buried the seeds too deep. These ones are only supposed to be planted 1/4" deep.

Day 8
I've relocated the plants to a more permanant-ish location where they'll receive the most sun possible inside the apartment. The peas are getting out of control, and I sonder at what point I should re-pot them into a larger planter.

Day 9
A copule new developments to report. First off, I learned that it is possible to grow lemon trees indoors in a pot, so I snagged a lemon seed from dinner just to see if I could make that happen. You may notice an extra pot covered in seran wrap. That's what that is.
Secondly, as I was watering the plants this morning, I noticed two new lettuce sprouts beginning. I was actually pretty sure the rest of the pots in my initial run were duds. I guess there may be more surprises in store yet.

Day 10
Yet another surprise today:
As I was watering the plants I noticed that one of our orange sun peppers has finally sprouted. I guess I didn't botch them as badly as I originally thought.
Of the two that sprouted yesterday, one is coming along nicely, but the other doesn't show much change, so we'll see what happens with that.

Day 11
A coupl of new pepper plants have sprouted today. The one lettuce sprout seems to still be at that same stage, and one of my pea plants is looking a tiny bit wilted, but still coming along, I think.

Day 11
Orange sun peppers are coming along nicely. I worry that the lettuce seems to be struggling to get enough light. Sadly, the apartment gets very little direct sunlight.
We're currently up to the following:
...and we don't talk about the lemon tree.

Day 11.1
I've moved the plants out onto the balcony in the hopes of getting them some more sun. I've avoided doing this because we've had some high-ish winds, and I worried they'd get blown away, but given how much the lettuce seemed to be struggling for sun, I decided it was probably a good move.

Lettuce plants seem to be going downhill fast. π

As it turns out, one of the lettuce sprouts seems to be recovering nicely from my abuse. I fear the other two are a lost cause. The peas and peppers seem to be thriving so far, though.
