Creation is a messy process


It's just too much fun to approach re-potting in the sloppiest way possible!

I had to harvest bunches of aloe. Now I've got to figure out what to do with it and how to get the juice out of the leaves. I've always just kept it for burns and that never happens!

This week, I've purchased peppermint, parsley, patchouli, and rosemary in 4" pots. I'll wait to re-pot them for two weeks just in case they were recently re-potted.

Bell Pepper Harvest




This is the extent of my crop from the bell pepper plant. They only grew to about one eighth the size of the seed mother. They are quite usable in stir fry. I prepared a tofu stir fry and added thin slices of one of the peppers. It added texture and crunch to the dish.
