Coffee? Coffee!

Anyway here's the new project at the Bulb, Kona coffee! I received nine plants all tucked together in a single container that was undersized, leaving several plants distorted and two as runts. Performing what magic I could the individual plants were liberated and each given a new home.

One of the runts perished but the remaining eight look like they're gonna make it. Yay! Now all that's left to do is wait three years for my first cup.
