Herbs and Shameless Wooster Pandering!

While I was gone at the lovely College of Wooster for the weekend, I left some seeds to sprout in a cheap 36 seedling planter. I went to Science Day to see my my old advisor, learned that Mateer is still old and full of dead birds with no immediate plans to replace it, checked out the flowers (below), and had entirely too much fun with some friends I haven't seen in a while. While I was gone, the seedlings sprouted! I planted six each of basil, thyme, chives, spearmint, cilantro, and oregano (left to right below). Hopefully, the heights of each plant relative to each other will give me a nice dome of green, and I'll use the same arrangement when I transplant them. Planting shorter herbs on the outside helps to get a large amount of biomass out of a limited flat surface. The little bastards started to sprout while I was away, so hopefully I'll have a nice kitchen herb garden in a few weeks! The thyme is doing the best at the moment, but I really hope the cilantro gets it together, since some obnoxiously large percentage of my summer diet is swimming in the green wonder.

This is a pretty tree. Behind the tree is Scovel, where poor, innocent biology majors are forced to learn about z-orbitals and shit.
