Garden Update

I know you are all on the edge of your seats - but I get to write about what I want, even if it's boring to some. :-)

After a few days where I was worried that I was actually killing my plants (spots on the leaves, and in some basil leaves, something that is a pest called leafminer, according to the interwebs), the last few days have been better. All the plants look pretty good, AND the cilantro (coriander seeds) that I planted is sprouting. When I took photos for the blog, there was nothing to see, but there are green seedlings coming up now. They just weren't as quick to appear as the little basil plants (which also keep on growing). Also, the geranium plant blossomed again, the buds that I took a photo of the other day are now open and beautiful. I'll have to take some more photos over the weekend. For whatever reason, I'm really enjoying this project so far. It's nice to have a reason to get outside.

In school, my classmates and I just finished a big writing assignment, so we're in sort of a breather before the big run-up to finals, which start in a month (eep!). It may not actually be a breather as in there is plenty we could be doing, but we all need one. Today, instead of grocery shopping like I'd planned after school, I hung out with a bunch of friends/classmates and just chatted for a couple hours at a restaurant type place AWAY from school. It was just what the doctor ordered after the relative solitude of writing our briefs.

Alright, there's my update. About to watch another episode of the Good Wife before bed. (I just got into the show recently and I highly recommend it!)
