I meant to post this entry two weeks ago, and then I was going to post the follow up entry to this one last week. It totally didn't happen, because I can only think to do this when I'm going somewhere. So since I have to kill some time before leaving for Florida, I am going to give you pictures and words suitable for capturing your attention for 8-9 minutes.
Boyfriend and I like to have a project going, and we like vegetables, so naturally one step in our living together involved purchasing a large grow lamp. And seriously, neither one of us does any drugs.
Tug was kind enough to buy me a hydroponic garden for my birthday. It's very strange looking, and makes a great bubbling sound throughout the house all day.
Seeds have to be started in these weird little cubes, then you can put them in the garden of clay pellets. There's no dirt involved, so the plants grow shorter roots because they're not looking for nutrients as much.
We do have to mix the water with some nutrient solution once a month, and occasionally test the ph level of the water. That is my favorite part, because I get to pretend I'm a scientist and hold up test tubes and droppers.
Anyway, we got the whole garden set up and labeled the first week of June after deciding what plants were going to grow in soil and which plants were going to grow in the hydroponic unit.
So it was after taking these shots that I was going to post this entry, so you could see how everything looked at the beginning. Then I was going to post how the plants had grown after two weeks. In between, I was going to tell you about my trip to Chicago and spraining my ankle and having to be carried everywhere for a day.
That would have been sweet.
But I need to go home and pack now- I'm at my office for a few minutes grabbing some last minute files, so my out-of-office reply is turned on. As such, when you email me, you get the message: "Thank you for your email. I will be out of the office on business until Monday, June 27th. If you need assistance prior to my return, please call..." I asked Tug to email me the names of the picture files I needed for this entry, so of course, he received the out-of-office email back.
And then responded to my auto-reply with the best email I've ever received: "LIAR! I KNOW you are there! CHOKE ON YOUR LIES!"
I hope my company reads my email. That would be sweet too.
