Quiet please darling, your auntie's hung...
...but not too hungover to garden. I got home this morning at six and I tried to sleep, having been up all night, but people we don't know in Missouri and Kentucky kept calling and hanging up. Then my parents called. Then cassie came and sat on my chest and started putting her paws on my chin every time my eyes closed. And then I got up and headed outside where I proceeded to get spectacularly dirty and even more freckled.
I planted the cinnamon basil and spicy-bush basil (i know...what were they thinking??) and the Poblano pepper I got from the Sheep & Wool fest... moved the peppermint into the main part of the garden, and rounded up most of the catnip sprouts which have not abandoned us after all. (orion made passionate love to my weed pile once he discovered there were stray nip plants in it. he is FILTHY.) I removed almost all of the pernicious violets from the entire garden, and unearthed the strawberries. Then, after two Gardeners Gone Wild moments and two changes of clothes, I agreed that we need a new hose for the backyard.
Mitzimouse- I have a pot of violets, a pot of peppermint, and a pot of catnip for you. We can also give you a strawberry if you want one.
Everyone else- if you want catnip, violets, peppermint or regular mint, or chives seeds, let me know. I have tons! Mint in particular does really well on windowsills- i've been growing a plant from a cut stem since last summer in just a glass of water. Seriously, they're EASY and smell good and go nicely in tea and mojitos.
Speaking of which... yum.
By the way, did anyone take home my black sweater last night? I forgot to put it in my car before I left, and when I went back to perk it was gone...
