Plants

When I started my mini-garden this summer, I bought basil, dill, parsley, and cilantro plants. I stuck them in claypots on my windowsill (outside). I watered them daily and all that. They grew, certainly, but not enough to really harvest more than once. And the basil. What trouble it gave me. The leaves started out the beautiful bright green of basil leaves, but slowly slid into a sickly yellow green. Two plants, same thing. I suppose I'll have to do some windowsill herb gardening research.

It surprises me that my plants that did the best were the tiny pots of lavender and chives that I bought from the Target "see Spot save spot". $1 for two little pots that have a weird expanding soil pellet. Both have been transplanted now, and are thriving!

And just as I thought my African violets were goners, all three pots bloomed! Yay.

Hopefully I'll remember to water everybody when I go back to school--exactly ONE MONTH from now! I am so excited! Eeeee! Look for updates then as I will update to avoid real homework.

Mini-Update

Went on a great "double date" road trip with my brother, his girlfriend, and my fiance. We started out at Greenfield Village on day one and the Henry Ford Museum on day two. Fun!

I only have a handful of serving shifts left. Once school starts, I'm only working my Friday night bar shift. I'm pretty happy about it. I most likely will not be serving next summer, unless business at my restaurant drastically turns around.

I really look forward to school starting for a variety of reasons. One of the less obvious reasons is a regular eating schedule. No getting home at 11pm and eating dinner. Hopefully when combined with riding my bike to school I can stay in shape.

The most exciting part of the next several weeks is our trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto. Our first real vacation together! We are going to have so much fun. Can't Wait!
