Seriously?

They have somewhat of a joke here in houston that says basically if you don't like the weather just wait 5 minutes and it'll change. I was really never too aware of it until the season i started trying to grow things... About 2 weeks ago i was wanting to put on shorts and was turning on my AC in the car. Today, there's ice everywhere. Global warming wha? where? The whole melting of the caps and flooding most of the land would suck, but my plants would love the heat if they had anywhere left to grow :)

Quick note (b/c i know some of you are too lazy to read thru my whole post - you know who you are): heard a commercial on the radio this morning for some scotts lawn feed that went something like: "some feeds have sawdust in them, which does absolutely nothing for your lawn.... except make dollar weed laugh at you." in a super serious voice. It was very cute.

So anyway, I'm going to leave Michael's house this morning and i see ice on my windshield. I immediately thought: oh my god, my little plants! So the whole time i'm driving home i'm just worried that all my little sprouts are shriveled up and dead. Get to the driveway and there it is: ice on the roof. My heart sunk. I checked on all the plants and everything seems fine. I was especially worried about the hollyhock and the tomato sprouts that had come up recently. I am sooooo over all this cold weather. For serious.

ice i came home to. yeah, that's a black motorcycle seat.

ice on broccoli

I know, i need to transplant them already....

ice lining the sides of the spinach leaves (bit hard to see here tho.)











ice lining the sides of the lettuce leaf. It looks kinda cute.

On a side note... i came home a couple days ago to find that the dogs jumped on a table, completely ravaged the container i planted some cobaea vines (god knows where they are now) and they tore apart my peat pots with the angel trumpet sprouts and the bomaera seeds. I was able to find and salvage the 3 trumpet sprouts and hopefully they will hold all right. It's a good thing for the dogs that i dont know which one did it. But i think that this one was my fault b/c that container had fries and ketchup in it and maybe i didn't clean the underside throughly and they still smelled it so they were enticed to get into it. Still angers me that they took them out tho... Dogs will be dogs though, I can't really get too mad about it i suppose. See, I am gaining a little patients and understanding from all this. :)
