I'm surprised I haven't killed them yet.

As you can see, I've added even more plants to my collection. They now take up the entire back wall of the alliance house. I also have a bunch now growing on the roof of my own house, thanks to Baralis, who put a couple teleport pads in there for me.

I've been watering them every morning when I wake up, and they're doing great. I think I'll have a plant vendor set up sometime in the next two weeks, depending on how many plants I have to sell.

My collection is expanding.

Okay.. I'm addicted. I can't stop planting more seeds. Now my collection has spread over to the guild alliance house. It was contained to one room, but after Simmy gave me some bright green barrel cactus seeds this morning, I had to continue on to the back hallway. Hope I don't run out of room anytime soon..

Awwe.. Aren't they cute?

Well, the first batch of plants are fully grown and cross pollinated. I'll collect seeds from these guys and then change them to decorative mode, then they'll be sold. Simple enough.

Vine collecting today..

While decorating the guild alliance house on the north side of Umbra with Slipknot this morning, we decided we needed some more vines to put on the walls of my soon-to-be glass blowing workshop. And luckily enough, the lovely Simmy shared some of her green thorns with me.

This was my first time planting the thorns and collecting the vines from the monster plants that pop up, and I was very amused with the process. Looks like I'll be cross-pollinating a blue and yellow plant to get a few green seeds so I can do this again in a couple weeks.

And maybe that plant vendor will come around sometime soon..

And more plants..

Well, the first row of plants have reached their mature state, so now I have a red tribarrel cactus, red campion flowers, and an uncommon bonzai tree. The row back against the wall should reach maturity either tomorrow or the next day.



I decided to plant four more red seeds on the east wall of my house, too. I guess we'll see what grows.



I'm thinking about putting a plant vendor in my house, too. We'll see how many plants I get and then I'll decide. I'm not quite sure where I'd put it yet.

Insomnia and seed collecting.

3:15 in the morning and I can't sleep.. And so I decided to go out and collect some colored seeds. It's quite boring really, but the boglings spawn up quickly.

I've also arranged for a couple guildmates to watch my plants for me on days when I don't have time to take care of them, like this weekend when I'll be in three different states over three days.

6:00 am, no restart..

What? No server restart today? What's up with that, guys? I want my plants to hit their next growth stage! Even the potions I put on them yesterday morning are still there.. Gah!

And another blog begins..

Today I was reading about growing plants on UO and began to realize how complex it is. With all the different possibilities and time involved, I needed a place to track my progress.. and so this blog was born. I just hope I have the time to keep up with it all. I may have to hire someone to water my plants for me if I don't have time to login on the weekends.

Here's the first picture- so far I've got one wilted uncommon plant (Yes, I neglected it.), two vibrant red saplings, two vibrant yellow seeds, and two vibrant blue seeds.



I guess we'll see what happens..
