Not Blooming

Hello all! I have 3 different African Violet plants and they all look healthy to me and have been growing, but aside from when I first got them they haven't bloomed. I have an African Violet specific fertilizer that says it help promote blooms and I've been using it as per the directions for (in the largest ones case) about a year.

Any advice for how to get them to bloom? They're under grow lights and aside from not blooming they're my best growing plants.

Curtain chewing

Does anyone have any tips for how to get the fluffy butt to stop chewing up my curtains? I've tired keeping them open when I leave, sheer curtains, raising them, but no matter what I fo he keeps chewing them. It used to be whenever I left. Now it's just when I deviate from my normal routine (I work from home and seasonally on the weekends and he's fine (after a small adjustment weekend) when I leave then).

​

I've also tried sprays and stuff to prevent chewing. I've sewn them to the point they look Frankenstein-ish and I've had to replace them. I'm at my breaking point with this issue. In every other way (except refusing to potty at night or in the rain) he's the best boy. He also knows he does bad chewing the curtains. He runs away the second I see it's been chewed and puts himself in timeout (his safe space and the coolest room in the house is the bath - he hides out there while I fix the mess)

​

I'm so tired of replacing the curtains. Any ideas to help this issue? And yes, I do leave him filled kongs and chewing bones and things he can happily chew on - he doesn't touch them until I get back

First ever bean from seed!

Harvested my first ever (purple!!) bean I actually managed to grow from seed! I haven't done much growing from seed, but I tried a few this year and only some beans actually sprouted, and now I can harvest them! I have a few more almost ready for harvest and am excited to cook with it. Also harvested some (the first of many, I went overboard) cherry tomatoes, but I forgot to take a photo
