Woo

Martha comes in handy once again. She's "featuring" the random plants I swiped from my parents last month on her web site. And so I find that I have planted two Tradescantia 'Blue & Gold' (Spiderwort) plants. Woohoo!

Aaaaah

I like days like this. No tragic server explosions, only a couple of calls that I knew the answers to, some data collecting for a weekly report, and data collecting for a programmer to fix a bug. Nice and easy.

Watch, now that I've said this, the world will disintegrate.

Vegetables

For the record, our first share included

• A LOT of loose salad greens
  
• 2 heads of unidentified lettuce (we each took one)
  
• Some small white turnips, with their greens still attached (these are apparently a different variety than I usually see in the store that are big and purple)
  
• A big bunch of cilantro
  
• A small bunch of oregano
  
• A bunch of garlic scapes (which would be the flowering part that grows above ground while the bulb matures)
  
• A good deal of loose spinach
  
• A big bunch of broccoli rabe

I think that's about it. All very fresh looking, and the salad I had this afternoon was very very tasty. It was an interesting assortment, all in all. I think it's going to be a challenge finding things to do with all these random vegetables this summer, but I've made a firm commitment to myself to not just huck stuff or give it away. And I'm going to try very hard to not just let things rot in my fridge, either.

Okay. Just breathe.

I signed up for Weight Watchers this week.
My first meeting is now in less than 15 minutes.
I'm completely terrified.
I'll post more about why later. Maybe.
Now, I just have to concentrate on breathing, and actually going.
Wish me luck.
