Jade!

One of the women in our office has a jade plant that keeps dropping leaves. She gives them to other people to start their own plants. I asked for one that fell off the mother plant and got two. I have them in a mug of water. The mug is from the Dunkin Donuts' states series from 6 months ago - I chose Rhode Island because I love Newport, RI (wouldn't want to live there - too crowded - but love to visit).

I'll take the plant home one of these days, when I am going straight home (no meetings or shopping to do). I don't want the poor thing to stay in a cold car for too long - that might kill it.

At almost 2 months...

My kitchen table garden is going well, I suppose. I have only 3 plants (so far), and all are alive. I assume they are well - I am not sure what they are supposed to look like after 2 months.

My store-bought rosemary is still alive. It appears to thrive on neglect. And I think I heard somewhere that it likes its soil to dry out somewhat between waterings, so we get along quite nicely.

The garlic I started from a few cloves still has shoots. I'm not sure at what point it will be ready to harvest. I don't know if I'll ever see anything but shoots above the ground. At some point, I may want to transplant each plant (I have 3) into it's own container.

The Campari tomatoes I started from actual tomatoes are doing well. I have lots of green leaves, which I assume is a good sign. I don't know when I'll actually get tomatoes. I may want to transfer the tomato plant to a larger pot at some point, maybe a hanging basket.

I went to Lowe's the other day and found potting soil, something that seems scarce around here this time of year. I also bought a little herb-starting greenhouse. I haven't started anything yet, though.
