Vaughn Bell Journal - May 18

Some mold in one spot on the Dicranum. Several small spots of lichens growing on the moss. They are a pale blue-green. The insects keep multiplying.

The water is almost soggy with damp in some places. Watering selectively- the high spots and edges are much drier. One patch of cushion moss appears to be growing over with Dicranum, and more haircap moss popping up in places. In the middle, a few dry, yellowed spaces. A spider is crawling around. Many, many insects. Beetles crawl in and out of the fern moss. The sprouts that pop up have grown leggy, reaching desperate for the ceiling of light. The fern has another shoot but expands slowly.
