Planting Onions
Posted on | May 23, 2007 | No Comments
Sometimes I’m just odd.
For weeks, two onions grew long, pale leaves, and they were growing said greenery in my vegetable drawer in the fridge. I didn’t want to throw them away. After all, they were mighty pretty. So, when in doubt – call Mom. She told me to pot them and when they’ve established some good root structures, plant them in the yard.
She told me to do that three weeks ago, and I finally got around to it last night…..
at 11.
I was sitting on my porch steps, digging through dusty Miracle Grow, and I couldn’t figure out why the damn water kept pooling and running over the tops of the pots. WTF? Then I remembered Good Eats. Seems Alton Brown’s advice regarding adding wet goods to dry is also applicable to dirt and water. What to do next? Make mud soup. My fingers haven’t squished themselves through dark, wet mud since I was a snot-faced, scabby-kneed kid. Water moved into dirt and mud oozed and I was very, very happy. Only after D came out to see what was taking me so long (did I mention it was 11 and he’s usually sending me to bed at that hour) that I realized I was having fun. After another few minutes, I planted the onions. They are quite beautiful and the pots sit next to my ivy and mini bamboo plant. And the leaves smell lovely… a little like.. onions.
By the way - you should close the bag of Miricale Grow so it doesn’t end up fluffy, dusty dirt. And it makes great mudpies.
And that story is to share with you how random I am sometimes. I will delay and procrastinate in doing something (yes, something as simple as planting an onion – or as important as getting the wedding rings) and only finish the project when it feels right. Sometimes I don’t even know that I am purposefully halting the progress of this or that. Then something clicks, and its okay to move forward. Why is that?
30 bits of trivia about Star Wars. I think D knows all of this already, but its fun to review. Ahhh… geekdom
I think I should try to make this….. heheheh
You may not be interested, but this is kind of dick. WTF is up with Apple? Don’t they know I don’t have AT&T? Gah! I won’t change my carrier, at least not right now. I love technology, and I love Apple products, but this just seems counterproductive, and lets not mention the price point?!?! Shit. I’ll just get a PS3 and call it a day. I’m horrible with phones anyway.
Speaking of PS3…..ooohhhh. Happiness. Mmmm...
