I need to stop reading macro communities over my wife's shoulder.

I finally got our potted plant garden potted today. We now have a vinca vine, an oregano, a mint, and a candy corn plant the blossoms of which really do look like candy corn as promised. My mom also gave us a potted tomato plant. I rarely eat tomatoes, but Mel likes them and they're fun to try and keep alive. I had been putting of planting the garden, but I really had a surprising amount of fun and by the end was actively wishing I had more plants. I haven't really done anything with horticultural since I was a child helping my dad in the garden. I didn't like it then. I am pleasantly surprised to find that I like it now.

I received an advertisement today via Careerbuilder saying that my old employers, Namco/Bandai are looking for a marketing director. Sounds sweet except I don't want to move to California.

It says the position is in Santa Clara, California. I hate Santa Clara. You know what I hate about it?

You guessed it. All the damn vampires.

Your potted plant garden sounds lovely! And I must admit I'm quite curious about the candy corn blossoms...

All the plants (I totally just typed 'pants') in our apartment die. We tried a few, and once we had an Orchid, and it was GORGEOUS and he lasted a few months, before dying. Stupid lack of green thumb.

yay gardens! the candy corn plant looks cool. I think I've seen it before with some other name, but I have no idea what that might have been. Pretty sure not having enough plants is a common problem. My passion is roses. I never ever have enough roses. There is always this other rose that I just must have. nowhere to put them, though. tragedy.

I would really like to start a garden. Unfortunately, drought conditions probably aren't the best time to start one. I hope yours goes well! I've considered setting up an herb garden in my office since there aren't plant eating cats and there's plenty of window sunlight.

I agree about the California thing. I don't know if I could be paid enough to move there... and I'm being completely honest. Especially SoCal.
