Good news in the garden today! It seems my kale plants have taken and are looking pretty well adjusted. I feel in some ways that I cheated nature by planting them as babies and not seedlings, but who cares! I, Erica Kelly, with thumbs as green as a trash can, actually nurtured something into a place other than death. Celebration! If only my garlic cloves showed such promise…

A little jade plant (and friends) joined the garden today as well. He was begging to get out of the tiny pot he came in. When I went to transfer him, his soil was practically dust. I don’t know how he managed to stay green for so long!
Anyway, here’s to hoping he likes his new home. Of course, only after I planted him in a mixture of native soil and organic soil did I notice the label on my soil bag:
