I recently got a UV LED flashlight, and now I play the What-here-is-florescent-game wherever I go. So, chlorophyll is not, but dust and mold are - mold fluoresces bright yellow (I'm having a bit of a problem with blight at the moment). But one of the stranger things I noticed, was that my tomato seedlings fluoresced red. And on the larger tomato plants, the undersides of the leaves and the newly growing ones also fluoresced red. And on the green onions, the bottom part of the stalks, that area glows red too. So, I'm guessing that it's areas of the plant which have little chlorophyll where this is occurring - or that the chlorophyll is not blocking the light. Most of the other plants I have examined don't fluoresce red. So does anybody know specifically what is fluorescing? I speculate that it might be another pigment like anthocyanin, but that's totally a wild guess.

Update: Oh I should also mention that I have not yet found any flowers which fluoresce. So maybe it's not anthocyanin - if I had an apple I could test this.

So, yesterday I did some gardening, something which I've had extremely little time to do lately. (In fact the gardening I was doing made me an hour late for something else.) I had to leave in the middle, but I was going to finish up when I got back, or today.

While I was gone, someone went into my backyard, and mowed everything down. There was no one else home at the time. I was furious and first thing this morning, told my roommate to totally cancel the yardkeeping service. He was surprised that showed up unexpectedly yesterday. And when he called them, and the landlord, they said that they had not been by yesterday.

So, this means that some complete stranger, entered our fenced backyard with a lawnmower, mowed everything down, and left, touching nothing else. WTF?

I've been trying to stay in a good mood all day, but I've almost broken down crying from this twice. I was so excited to see the baby plants that were just growing back, and now they're all gone. I was just watering them yesterday afternoon. I feel like I'm wasting my time. Everything I try to create is destroyed almost immediately. I can't turn my back for five minutes.
