old hand makes newbie mistake
Yesterday was really busy-- half a shift at the non profit, came home to help move some sprouts around, and went to "help," as my mother would put it, at the food service.
It was really warm, all heat and light, as I sleepily walked home from the light rail station to get back home. This is similar to the route I took back in high school, and it's changed a lot. Most of it has stayed the same though, all the open spaces so that pedestrians won't get hit by cars. There's a small bridge that has a side walk cut into one side that now has collected rubble over the years and now has some sort of plant that's taken root there--green into red leaves, small and bright pink flowers. My icon on tumblr was taken while walking on this sidewalk, holding pastel purple flowersf I picked from somewhere. I don't have the photo anymore, since it was deleted when my computer puttered out in early 2009. (And it'll probably pull a similar stunt soon.)
So these sprouts--they're some sort of vegetable from southern China, apparently. For some reason, my dad put wayyy too many of these into the little containers, and they're overflowing. I was separating them into three, sometimes four parts and gently, gingerly replanting them. I was using old horse manure that had been sitting in our back yard for oh, maybe it's been three years now. Their roots are very fine and haven't started wrapping at the bottom of the container, so we still have some time.
For the next few days, it's supposed to rain rain rain rain. It's dreary and really cold right now. This morning waking up was nearly an ordeal and a half, haha.
