Potty training sucks.
In other news:
I've lost two more lemon seedlings. That's three out of the pot I put in the laundry room in hopes the warmth would spur them on.
Pear-y Manilow (my pear seedling) is doing better now that he's been moved up with the lemons and grapefruit in my "purple" house (it's a greenhouse made of picture frames, but I painted it purple) in the bedroom window. I suspect it was frostbite that turned part of his leaves black, so moved him to the warm.
Mandarin orange seed seems to be taking...not much change in the last day.
I vastly prefer those peat pod things to the biodegradable pots you start seeds in. They seem to have more nutrients. Certainly, of the plants I have started in the pods, most of them have survived, whereas the biodegradable pots don't seem to make it. I've lost 10 of the 14 lemons I planted in them; the grapefruit, five lemons and Pear-y Manilow (not to mention 5 of 6 apple seedlings) are doing well.
Might have to prune back the sage slightly, it seems to be getting wild.
Aaaaand....the Basil. One of the plants in there died in the last couple nights. I'm going to move it away from the window; I think it might be too cold in there finally.
Recent additions to my indoor garden: holly bush (seems to love the cold just fine) and a rosemary bush grown in the shape of a christmas tree. I have that in the kitchen where it is a little warmer. Damn thing had better survive, it was $12.
I am also considering getting my Food Safe certificate so I can sell tea and pies at the Farmer's Market this summer. If this happens and I start a company I can also order the supplies necessary for jams. Rather exciting prospect.
