Foodage and Flora

Nearly recovered from the B1 Bug. I wasn't blogging the past couple of days because sickblogging is worse than even everyday blogging. "Still stick. Bleah." You know, that kind of thing.

Going to take the boys grocery shopping today. They're stoked, since I picked up some wheels for the drive. They always love that.

I need to post pix of my saplings; I think I'd intended to do that for awhile, but hadn't gotten around to it. So, here you go...


Clementine and its cousin fruit tree saplings. All of them have come out swinging for spring. They really started growing. I'll have to repot them later this year, is my guess. Part of me is tempted to bonsai these guys, but part is tempted to just let them grow unimpeded. It's still going to take a long time for them. This was all because I'd a particularly good clementine and hadn't wanted to consign the seeds of it to a landfill, by way of the garbage, and wanted to see if I could get any of the seeds to grow. Repeating it with a lemon and an orange, I think. I've had great success with it, and I'm enjoying watching the process continue. The boys are fascinated by it, too. Never really thought about whether I had a green thumb or not, but I guess I do.
