HAPPY EASTER 2024.

HAPPY EASTER, Everyone, hope you all have a great one this weekend...

Since Easter is a time for celebrating those that were once dead but now walk amongst the living again (the resurrected dead, if you will), I thought I'd use this Holiday as an excuse to post a new WIP shot from my upcoming Zombie project.

Just remember... to a Zombie 'you're' the Chocolate Egg and everyday is Easter.

Loaded For The Weekend.


My reading material for this upcoming Easter Weekend is very WW2 heavy.

I didn't plan it that way or anything, it just kind of happened... Honest.

Big Green Sun Chaser.

My big bulbous Cacti after being repotted into its new funky container.

I won't lie, repotting it was, as feared, a total nightmare and not much fun, but at least it's done now.

Nerdy Fact: My big Cactus has a bit of a mean lean going on (as is a common problem with larger Cacti). My hope is by aiming the sloping side away from the Sunlight, when the Summer Sun does appear, it'll try and tilt towards it, and hopefully straighten up a little bit, as Cacti often lean towards the Sun. That's my plan, anyway. No idea if it will work.

Reed's Seeds.


Now my Cacti Seedling from last year are big enough to be Potted, I thought I'd 'bite the bullet' and try my hand at growing some rarer Cacti.

I've been online and hunted down and ordered some, which came this week, and plan to plant them over Easter.

I'm a little nervous as I've never bought Seeds from online Sellers before, but I am hopeful something will germinate over the Summer.

A Madman In A Zombie Mask.


I can tell you very little about this character right now...except that he is a Madman... and he wears a Zombie Mask...

Repotted For The Summer.


Also this week while I had my 'Green Fingers' out...

I had to repot my two Cacti that I got last year, as they had both outgrown their Pots that they had been in less than a year.

My hope is if I get them all repotted and sorted now early in the year, hopefully they'll thrive and grow even more over the Spring\Summer.

Although next comes the REALLY hard part... Repotting my 41-incher on my own...

Class Of 2023.



It's been a long and brutal Winter here on the coast, and I'm sad to say not all my Cactus Seedlings made it through to see the Spring.

But for those that did survive the cold and frost, yesterday they finally escaped their 'Tupperware Prison' and have graduated to a proper Pot of their own.

Lemon Hand Grenade.


Bought a knock off 'Jif Lemon' this week while out shopping, and I can't help but think the bottle looks more like a 'Hand Grenade' rather than any kind of real Lemon.

I imagine if you threw one these in the heat of battle, it would explode and get Citric Acid in everyone's eyes.
