I have new friends.

My new friends are green and one day I will hopefully eat them.


orangemint Orange mint, isn't he pretty? He doesn't smell that great, but I have a cold and hope it's the fault of my nose. He has some yellow leaves, which I think is because the pot is getting too small. All of them are needing re-potting - I've had them for two weeks now. And they're still alive! This is exciting.





He is hanging out on the windowsill with these other two:

rosemary

Rosemary! (Yeah, I know my windowsill is dirty, and I think the condensation is because the heat is on.)

strawberry

Strawberry! (No, I have no idea what I intend to do with one small strawberry plant. But look how pretty!)

These two are hanging out on the built-in ironing board off the kitchen. The others might join them soon, I think they're too close to the heater.

peppermint Peppermint!

garlic
Garlic!




So, I believe I figured out how this works. You open up the little packets and mix the contents with dirt and water and sunlight and you get plants! It feels like magic. There must be a drawback.

Sprouts in 7-14 days? Oh. Well then.

If I stare at them, do you think they'll grow faster? What if I give them caffeine?
