has it really come to this?

i'm not really sure what is more pathetic: the fact that home-depot sells "plant-kits" that consist of small watering-can-pots, a mini-pack of seeds, and dirt "pellets"......or......the fact that carlyn and i are both proud owners of afore-mentioned "plant-kits" and are growing desk-zenias/blue-bells/marigolds. (and find the need to photodocument their process, almost to the level of anoyingly-proud mothers.)

so, play-by play of my little zenia:

stage 1:
can. pellets.
(yes, i was being quite literal when i said "dirt-pellets")



stage 2:
after DAYS of waiting...you can see a small speck of green. (not that i'm bitter or anything, but carlyn's zenia had already grown about 1/2 inch by this point....) But, it's ok. i can love a late-bloomer.


stage 3:
(today)
seed #2 is poking its way up! i feel like this is what it feels like to find out you're having twins....

so, yeah....we're pretty cool (cough*lame*cough), aaaaand you should probably check out carlyn's plants too...: click.
