There came plants!

I'm getting very into the idea of growing food in my soon-to-be back garden. So I planted a whole lot of mielies (corn) in a seedling tray two weeks ago. I planted them with my daughter so she could also watch them grow, and she's been watering them every day.

Mielies are completely psycho growers!! I planted them about 5cm down, as per the instructions on the packet, and the little shoots were breaking the surface a few days later.

In the words of little Zeb - "There came plants!!"

We can't move into our new house for an additional month now, and the mielie plants are already a good 15cm high in their little tray. I'm considering planting them out in the garden, or on the verge so that passers-by get a free meal in December.

Delicious

Having been rapped over the knuckles (figuratively) by wolverine_nun, for pointing her to this site and then not having anything posted - I have decided that I should post short stuff from work.

I know I'm behind the times, but I've just this minute started using del.icio.us - and I'm completely sold.

What a brilliant concept!!! Storing bookmarks on-line --- being able to see what other people have tagged.

And I love being able to put multiple tags on a site - I really really struggle to classify my bookmarks hierarchically.

And the reason I haven't posted anything lately - deep, dark, depression. No, really. And who wants to read about that. ... It's just a feeling.
