The basil is doing well and has its second set of leaves out. The carrots, though, are dead or drawing their last raspy, painful carrot breaths. My friend Lynell looked at them and told me they probably needed some better light than the incandescent I'd been using. I brought a CFL to work today to supplement, but I fear it's too late. Maybe I'll start again. Maybe I'll put some onion seeds in there. Maybe I'll give up completely. On everything.
Seriously, I am in a bit of a rut lately. I am hoping my new tool/toy will remedy that, but I don't know. Maybe the best I can do for now is futz around with plants and try not to kill them and trust that something will inspire me soon.
