kitchen garden (literally)

So I finally gave in and treated myself to one of those herb growing starter kits that I've been eying for the past week or so. I like to think of it as my graduation present to myself. At the risk of sounding like a pre-schooler, I AM SO EXCITED! I can't wait for the first sprout! On the left I've got rosemary and flat-leaf parsley, and on the right I've got oregano and basil. I tried growing basil indoors when I lived in Cambridge and didn't have much luck, but hopefully things will go better this time. Anyway, I will transfer each surviving plant (I sure hope I have at least one success) into its own pot. The little pots are biodegradable, so they can go into larger clay pots when it's time to make the move.

Oh, I also sprinkled a mixture of dry, used tea leaves on the surface of the soil. I figure they look nicer than damp dirt and should decompose with little help. Well, back to my bar study. As much as I'd love to stay up and see if reindeer really know how to fly, I need to go to bed at a decent hour tonight.

P.S. Yes, I realize that technically I am no longer a law student, but I'm not a lawyer yet, either, so I'm going to leave the blog subtitle as it is for now.
