enjoying the new domain
09/07/2008
It’s been a couple months since the whole MyDomain debacle, but I guess I’m settling into my new domain here quite nicely. Perhaps I should just ditch the old domain for good.
In other news, despite my best efforts to exercise restraint, I’ve managed to order so much stuff off Amazon that the UPS chick who does my route now knows me. Yesterday she said, “You hit the jackpot today! 4 packages!”
I was going to respond, “That’s not all of it” but I guess she’d figure that out sooner or later.
The Seed Experiment is doing quite well, unlike the lavender and rosemary I ordered off Home Depot. The already grown plants didn’t take to the journey from Greenville, SC and the lavender eventually transformed to compost. After some research I decided to take a leap and order lavender seeds instead. They should arrive next week. For good measure I’m trying to root some cuttings I took from KF’s cousin’s backyard. It’s not exactly the dwarf Lavender variety I was shooting for, but it’ll do!
I also found out that ugly Lavender-like plant in the window planter on my smaller bedroom window is a Lavender too, just Spanish Lavender.
A neat trick I’m trying is to cover the seedlings in plastic wrap while they are germinating. Apparently it helps keep the moisture in, so they sprout faster. Am trying that with a second batch of Parsley and Mint. KF wants me to plant some Basil too, but I don’t know about that. I don’t like the smell of Basil.
The original batch of Zinnia and Aster are doing so well, I had to move them into little Jiffy pots already – sooner than I thought!
Yeah, very trivial things keep me entertained.
