It got quiet around here for a bit. What happened was I had a reaction to something and it took me a while to realize what was going on, and also to seek medical attention once realized. This has not been a fun year, medically, for me. I’ve got toes and fingers crossed this will be the end of a bad stretch. (Don’t think I’ve been this sick this long since college!)

Note to Future Me #11
Stop dithering and either make two small leaf bins, or figure out how to make the time to clear out all the tiny saplings for the larger spot you and your partner picked but haven’t made time to clear yet.

Next year, before you put in the order with Heirloom, CALL THEM and ask politely what the free seed is for the year. Continue reading “Note to future me #9”
Note to future me #8
I know you’ll be anxious a lot this year because once again there is so much you want to do and gosh darn it you had to have learned something last year, right? At least it was way better than two (now three) years ago, right? Yep.
Don’t forget you now have a porch swing to go to sit and think or forget or ponder or whatever. You will get overwhelmed. Take a break and go swing. Continue reading “Note to future me #8”
Our seeds are on their way!
I just checked my e-mail, and there was a tracking notice. Continue reading “Our seeds are on their way!”
There may be some ghosts of seedlings past after all.
A third type of leaf formation has presented itself on the now third seedling/baby that has pushed past the soil in the spider plant pot. Continue reading “There may be some ghosts of seedlings past after all.”
