    A little heat. A little sweet.

    Cheongyang on the left, Lunch Box on the right. Each has its own dedicated container. Container capacity is not recorded; their journals stay with the plants as setups change.

    The bucket drawing is illustrative—not a claim about current container size.

      Two rooms. Nine plant identities. Select a numbered strawberry or a named pepper to open its journal. A moved or unavailable grow is not shown as occupying its old drawing position.
