but though iI tried so hard my little darlin/ I could't keep the night from coming in

Oh Blogger, I have been cheating on you.

I have a new love. They are my plants.


Beth: I haven't even named them yet.
Mike: That is surprising.

So far we have:
-1 flourishing, 2 surviving, and 1 slightly at death's door tomato plants.
-4 sunflowers
-1 mint
-1 lemon verbena (which smells so delicious)
-1 thyme
-2 lettuces that have sprouted
-2 swiss chards that have not
-1 majoram
-1 chive
-1 very pretty purple basil
-1 Bulgarian carrot pepper
-1 Thai pepper

This has been a pretty grand experiment for us because the majority of our yardage and indoor space is not appropriate for growing. The small balconettes in the front of the house are the only reason why we can grow anything so we are taking full advantage of it.
