Amazing hydroponic setup

It seems too flexible to be a new branch. Is it an adventitious root? Weirdly high up for that

gardening @hexbear.net glimmer_twin [he/him] @hexbear.net Does anyone know why my jade is getting wrinkly?
Some of the leaves on this jade are getting kinda wrinkly and losing their springiness, I definitely don’t think it’s being underwatered. Any ideas? It’s not in the sunniest spot is that maybe the issue?

It's starting to feel like false spring around here, which has me thinking about growing things.
It's been a couple of years since I have been able to have a real garden, I haven't been able to dedicate the energy to it.
I did however plant some fruit trees and bushes last year, and I'm already looking at how to help them grow some more this year.
I've already made the inadvisably early purchase of some bare root strawberry plants.
What are my gardening comrades doing in the face of the approaching growing season for the northern hemisphere, or how are you winding things down in the southern hemisphere?
What are you planning on growing this season or what did you grow this season?
What's your favorite gardening tip?

gardening @hexbear.net iie [they/them, he/him] @hexbear.net Hey Hexbear, help me name my cactus
What should I name this weird little alien creature?
I think it's a Mammillaria spinosissima ssp. pilcayensis
Mammillaria are generally native to Mexico, so maybe a name in Spanish, Nahuatl, or another language spoken in Mexico would be neat. Or maybe a leftist historical figure from Mexico, or a cactus-related Aztec deity. But don't limit yourself to that, if you have any other ideas you should definitely share them!
Maybe a feminine name this time, since I named my last succulent Herbert

gardening @hexbear.net glimmer_twin [he/him] @hexbear.net Can my bird of paradise grow back from just the roots?
My potted indoor bird of paradise had its only remaining stem snapped off in the wind the other day, now it is totally bare above ground except for a few old stems… is there any chance it will recover or should I just throw it out?

gardening @hexbear.net sexywheat [none/use name] @hexbear.net My wall-mounted plant germination station is complete! 🌱
Been cooking this idea for a while and finally got all the equipment for it. Took me all day but it's finally done! Just gotta plug it into a timer once January comes around.
Context: I love gardening but my place gets exactly zero natural light inside, so I had to devise some way of germinating seeds indoors in the cold months before spring rolls around when I can move them all outside. Last year I just put all my plants on a counter top and pointed some lights at them, but that quickly became very messy and I ran out of space. This way, everything is up and out of the way and I'll have ample space for all my plants 🌱
Btw I don't know why there are those black streaks across the picture something to do with how the lights refract I guess I dunno.
For those curious, the equipment:
- Wall mounted storage cabinet
- 2X Spider Farmer Glow30 grow lights
- 2X computer fans (I used two Noctua fans because I had some spares laying around from a previous PC build but you could use anything

gardening @hexbear.net cranakis @reddthat.com Never Give Up - Trepadeira Werner Pepper vs. Deer
Another gardening lesson in not giving up: The progression of pictures here are 3 of the same plant, a Trepadeira Werner pepper, taken over the course of this year.
1st pic: I grew them from seed indoors and a few days after putting them out in early April, I found the local deer had visited and eaten the plant down to the stem. I considered it a loss but didn't deal with it or pull the plant up. I just walked away, then went out of town for a bit the next day.
2nd Pic: When I came back into town it had new leaves so I figured I'd let it try again for kicks. It had fallen over under its weight so I staked it up. I did try a few things to keep the deer away, I think with moderate success.
3rd Pic is from last week. I see some evidence of deer nibbling but I believe the heat of the pepper may be keeping them away from it now. I'm still blown away remembering this thing when it was eaten to the stem.

gardening @hexbear.net sexywheat [none/use name] @hexbear.net look at my dutch bucket. LOOK AT IT
Here's the basic design:
2 tomatoes, 2 cape gooseberry, 2 ghost pepper
My first attempt at outdoor hydroponics
The tomato plants are an eldritch horror
but growing some lovely fruit
Cape gooseberries have some flowers but I don't think they usually bloom until later in the year. The ghost peppers have been drowned out by the obnoxiously large tomatoes, I don't expect any peppers from them I'm afraid.
So far I'd say my first attempt has been a mo

gardening @hexbear.net belligerentkitten [they/them, it/its] @hexbear.net i like nettles way too much
i'm taking nettle seeds home to spain from finland. been making food and string out of them while i'm here at my partner's. mostly using the seeds for food rather than the leaves, so far. though maybe some nettle soup would be nice before we go.
they do in theory grow natively in spain, but i haven't been able to find any where i live so seeds it is.
i do hope that no overzealous airport staff think it's weed.
