weather & such
it's getting towards a proper winter here, with a sub-zero morning and the puddles frozen up. winds cut through the bare trees, swirling leaves on the sidewalks.
the snow flurry was the best part, walking back to the dorm from breakfast. the squirrels are puffed up in the low tree branches, holding in their heat.
plants we wanna grow on the windowsill:
– brown mustard
– jalapeño peppers
– Hungarian wax peppers
– parsley
– oregano
– basil
– rosemary (currently happening)
– spearmint (until the thrips got to it, requiescat in pace)
scallions
garlic
spearmint
this was the first plant we had on our dorm room windowsill. it was nice, at least until it somehow picked up a case of thrips. they're a great plant once they get growing in summer, you can really shape them effectively with pruning.
