Crops and weather

First...the weather. What's going on!! Now we are under a severe thunder storm warning! There is a tornado warning for another hour or so east of us. It's nuts!! I'm not sure how hot it was today. High 90's without a doubt. But the weather is scary. Rain would be the ultimate dream, however, lightning could be devastating. We'll just have to wait and see.

Here are the crops:

First - the hardy Jalapeno...for now. I have kept them alive for full TWO days...almost three. It's a miracle. They, no doubt will produce an abundance of fruit for, I would imagine, quarts and quarts of tasty yet pungent homemade salsa. My mouths waters as my eyes close just dreaming of a crispy corn chip scooping up the amazing concoction. I hope the f**king plants live or it's Pace Picante Sauce here I come. I will document their demise.

Next, we have the Italian Flat Leaf Parsley/ Cilantro container. We grow them in the same 'pot' because we are too cheap to buy two. But this amount of space will suffice. And yes...you are correct...there are no plants in there....yet. Just seeds. Lots of them.

But there will be. I will document their growth from seed to table...or ...pot....or whatever Husband plans to put them in. I'm not planning to get anything else. I had thought about some tomatoes....but I'm not sure yet. I don't want to overtax myself with obligation. I can barely dress myself! You'd think it wouldn't be difficult to take care of these sparse few plants, given the fact that I pass them 37 times a day...but as soon as I walk past them...POOF!! Out of the mind....Sad, eh?

And today I got a gift of a miniature rose bush. People should just given me candy. I need to take a photo of it so I can remember what it looked like.

And here is the plant that I got that I don't know what it is. It's pretty and pink and delicate (and still alive!). Unfortunately it looks rather alone in the pot (which you can't see any of) and I should get it a friend. We have to run to ALCO in the morning and I will get some more Potting Soil and perhaps something else only for this planter. High expectations.

So that is my garden. It's an aha moment for sure...

I can't draw a cat. Or should I say...I can't draw Tom. Maybe he's not supposed to be my subject. I need another plan for my personal painting. A flower. A daisy. My favorite flower. I have been thinking about the house I was raised in. There might be something from there I need to put on paper. Definitely not Tom.

I need to go to the office for a few minutes. I might be back...
