Herb garden update!

[mousme]

So the herb garden I started last Thursday is already starting to sprout!

I am very excited, as I wasn't expecting anything for at least another few days, and maybe not until next week. So far the basil, the oregano, the marjoram, and the thyme are all poking through the earth. The basil in particular is nearly half a centimeter high. The rosemary and the mint are being shy, but given that the packet says that germination can take anywhere from seven to twenty-one days, I'm not worried yet. The others are ahead of schedule, after all.

The small pot of basil that Anik gave me last Sunday has more than tripled in size, and one of the spider plants is doing remarkably well. The other spider plant is less happy: it was a re-pot, and is kind of droopy, though it doesn't appear to be dying. I'm hoping it's just some form of transplant stress, and that it'll recover soon. I don't want to over water it, but I'm not sure what else to do to make it happy.

I also made a couple of new icons, including this one for when I'll be doing garden-y nature-y stuff. :)

I think I'll have to do some looking into green men/women, to see if I can gain any more understanding of them. They fascinate me, but I don't have that much knowledge on the matter.

Among other things, the green man/woman speaks to that which is growing---or dormant, or germinating---inside of us, and as such they are mysterious and enigmatic and elusive. We're not meant to understand them completely--that's part of their fascination!
