Dear Librarian,
I'm so so so sorry for how dirty these pages are. I tried to wipe them clean, but the blood didn't want to come out, and I'm really not sure what that other brown stain is from.
Maybe you shouldn't touch it.
I'll be bringing you more pages as I try things out! It'll probably be mostly healing stuff, but there's just so much fruit out there! Thank you so much!
- 1 Blushberry bush
- 1 Ertwen vine
I started my first attempt at creating a hybrid healing fruit today. From what I've read, blushberries only fruit in Spring, and Ertwen only fruit in Winter. What if we could make a hybrid that fruited in both seasons?
So far I'm trying the pollen thing I found on the internet. The mother plant is the one on the left of the x, and the father plant is the one I got the pollen from. It's on the right of the x.
I've tried combining Blushberry x Ertwen, and Ertwen x Blushberry. They have both been given blood as fertilizer, and left to grow. Fingers crossed!
The plants look like they're growing okay, but they're both really weird. Any time I walk past the bush, it tries to curl around my leg. It's kind of cute, in a creepy way. No buds yet.
I found a few small buds on both of them!!!
They fruited!!!
My drawing skills are enough to make a cat laugh, so I won't even try.
- Blushberry x Ertwen: a green-speckled pink berry about the same size as a regular blushberry, but kind of lumpy and peanut shaped, with a mealy, unappealing texture in the mouth. Healed a self-inflicted cut on my hand just as well as regular berries/ertwen do.
- Ertwen x Blushberry: a green pod with pink blush on the tips, and on the peas inside. Flavor of ertwen peas is much improved, sweet and juicy, but still kind of mealy. Also healed just as well as regular berries/ertwen.
The fruit all died. All of it. Maybe they only fruit on the equinox?
Have to wait until next year to try again...
Fruit experiments!
