alex-grows-pomegranates:

It is Tu Bish’vat apparently! Which means Jewish tree appreciation!Here are the pomegranates and a carambola (star fruit) now compared to December around where they first germinated!

I’ve been also noticing something interesting about the oldest pomegranate’s growth, in that it’s been alternating between 2 and 3 leaves per node, while the others have just been adding 2 leaves in opposite phyllotaxis, so it’ll be cool to see individual differences in all of them as they grow up. The second one is much taller with thinner and longer leaves, though I’m wondering if I just accidentally gave it more nitrogen than the others.
