(mostly) relaxing home life

a much more friendly topic, eh?

So, I had a nice weekend. Had pancakes at Elaine's one morning, and some fabulous thingy from Tacubaya the next. Hung out all day Saturday, shopping and laughing and eating. Lounged most of Sunday *and* went grocery shopping. I also bought three new herbies for my front "patio": cilantro, sweet basil, and MINT! I love mint. I hope it takes over everything, what could be better? And does anyone know if cilantro is an annual or a perennial?

here's a cute little pict of the mint:


The only dark side of my weekend was realizing how much I'm sick of living in this apartment.

many many reasons, but primarily that the inconvenience of the noise and non-perfect internal layout is not being balanced by other factors as it once was. So, the hunt for a nice new-to-us home is on. If anyone hears of a nice 2 bedroom flat let me know!!

Hey Betsey!
Corriander is an annual. Full sun and regular watering... Doesn't like to be transplanted... ^_^ Yay Plant ID class! Oh and good luck finding a place! Oh yeah, on Friday, we will probably get into the bay area pretty late, so i dont think i'll have time to visit. =( sorry.

Coriander? Apropos Cilantro it is annual also. "partial shade to full sun, moderately rich soil, and good drainage"; attracts bees - good luck! Like every herb, if it starts flowering, cut the flowers off so that it will not go to seed.
House with garden would be nice.
