For Best Results, Water Daily.

One time {ONE TIME!} I accidentally didn’t water Mike’s precious little exotic plants {olive trees, baobab trees, and a redwood tree} that he so bravely tried to grow on our chilly bedroom window sill. He was out of town on a business trip and left me with strict instructions to not let those plants die.

Well, they died. {It was definitively my fault and had nothing to do with the fact that they were Mediterranean plants trying to stay alive in NORTHERN WISCONSIN. In the middle of winter. With aprox. 2 hours of daylight. Definitely my fault.}

And now every time Mike leaves on trips, he gets a hernia because he thinks I’m going to burn the house down or forget to feed the dogs or survive on nothing but cereal and re-runs of Jersey Shore the whole time he’s gone…..wait, that last one is actually what I do do.

But not this time! Mike’s in sunny San Fran, and I am doing a ridiculously awesome job of holding down the fort. The pig and I are BFFs now because she realized I’m really good at back-scratches, the chickens are scurrying around in their box happily, the turkeys and I snuggle on the couch sometimes, and the seed-starts that Mike planted right before he left are SUPER ALIVE:

So, honey, if you’re reading this, everything here is fine. And I sure hope you’re bringing home goodies from Tartine

    Tartine! yuuuuuuummm! Also, i am a lazy gardener, i only grow things that are basically fool proof. I hate plants that are finicky water drinkers. Too much too little ahhh!
