gardening update


had to replant my herb garden

found a lot of sow bugs in the bed, but hopefully got rid of a number of them. also found a snail! and put him in the bin as well, but i felt really bad about it. my hubby says "they are pests!" but i feel bad because it is a snail and for some reason, i think of cartoon snails and they weren't pests. i didn't say it was logical.


Spearmint




Rosemary



Red Romain lettuce




Green lettuce




back row: regular parsley, curled parsley dill
front row: italian basil, lime thyme, sweet basil

i planted a lot less than i did last year because i didn't think the plants had a lot of room to grow. i hope this helps them a bit.
and i'm a little concerned about the lettuces in particular because they will need a lot of water, and i am bad at remembering to water my plants. so fingers crossed!!


and an orange tree update:

lookin' good kid!

an hour

today was a harder day. people were tired/agitated/expected too much
(if things don't exist, how can i deliver them to you?)
so..
trying to stay calm, and not scream at people on the phone or my poor co-workers, i retreated to the park in burbank for my lunch hour
where i rested, read and listened to the wind

a bird's nest


i was surprised by the thick soft grass. comfy!




hope you too get a little vitamin d this week.
and breathe a little deeper
