getting dirty

i finally got around to dealing with some dirt. as in potting soil. which is by definition dirty.

so now i have some dirt under my nails. which i hate, but i find that it's worth it.

and now i just have to wait and see if the oregano, rosemary, chives, green onions (yup, being adventurous), sage, dill, tomatoes, etc will grow.

i'm contemplating planting some flowers of some kind. not sure, but it's an idea.

fun activity: watching soil grow.

cause i bought a bag of potting soil, but also picked up those awesome soil pellets that are the dirt minus all moisture. so you dump some water in and watch it grow like those tshirts, sponges and washcloths that have all the air sucked out of them. entertaining, let me tell you.

next challenge: finding a place for these plants to get all the sunlight they need. which is a major challenge considering there is only a short amount of sun that will come through the windows due to the horrendous tree factor that i've been suffering with up here in the north woods.
