Stopped at the store yesterday, bought a large window planter and some potting soil, then planted some coriander! The plan is to let it grow up big and strong so I can make Mexican salsa, yummmmmmm. I only planted half though, and left the other half for whatever. I don't really use that much spices with my food. The cashier recommended lemon balm, but as I told her, I wouldn't know what to do with it! I'm currently looking for a nice flower perhaps that will grow well out on my deck but not overtake the cilantro, and still looks pretty. Any suggestions?
The parsley and basil plants are poking through! I planted waaay too many of each of them because I wasn't sure they would grow, but now I have about a thousand of each. I'm so incredibly happy that it worked though. They started growing right after we stopped getting frost during the night, makes sense. I soaked half the basil seeds in warm water before planting, and half I didn't, as an experiment. There doesn't seem to be much of a difference as of yet, but they're still pretty puny.
Started up the Chrono Trigger game the other night. Surprisingly, when I turned it on, everything was in English! Since I bought this game at a secondhand store, there were also saved games in each of the save slots, all done to the end. Chrono Trigger is the type of game that you have to play about 8 times through to see all the different endings of the game. I'll prob. keep one or two of the save slots at the end just to mess around :P In the menu, there is an option to toggle between Japanese and English, so if I wanted, I could talk to a person in Japanese (in-game, of course), try and translate, and then switch to English to see how close I got. This is an added bonus! The only problem is the amount of kanji, I still can't read that very well....
Benn focusing of studying kanji for the moment. I'm getting tired of knowing what something means, but not being able to read it. Very frustrating.
Time to clean the school!
