Nevertheless, I am here now!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>First off,</i></span> I have halted the daily part of the <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/operation-grow-garden-chronicles.html" target="_blank">Grow A Garden Chronicles</a> in favor of posting tidbits and photos on the front page instead. I will still make sure there is a link to all of the Garden related posts at the bottom of the Chronicles page if you're away for a bit in the future and want to catch up. Also just for me to keep my brain straight, of course. ^.^<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Secondly,</i></span> I added more to <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/my-precious-work-in-progress-and-why-it.html" target="_blank">Sticking With My Story</a> which is basically a place where I write about--well, writing my book.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Third,</i></span> there have been a few updates in the permissions of the apps that I have listed in <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/ghost-of-android-market.html" target="_blank">Ghost Of Android Market</a> (AndroZip and Google Translate to be precise) and thus I have updated them on my page as well now.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>And now I must post this post about postings</i></span> and then post a new, picture laden post of a certain set of plants. Be well all!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>...Anyway,</i></span> back on the 17th of August when all of the plants had their second of a few recent configurations due to (this time) an appointment for 'the dwelling' that involved a long hose running straight under the deck where I have the peppers and the herbs sitting, one of the Cilantro had found its way into and around one of the peppers, and promptly snapped right off and hung there triumphantly. I snagged it, brought it indoors, and pondered. What I wound up doing was hanging it from the cupboard handle just above the sink (thing is long, wouldn't free hang anywhere else and those are the cupboards that I use the least) and left it to dry for a few days before I used it in a spaghetti sauce (that was yesterday, the 21 of August). Indeed, but not before I took a picture of it (alright a few pictures of it) after it came in from the outside world.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The main reason--</i></span>besides the fact that I appear to be a picture freak--that I decided to document this is because this particular strand of Cilantro is the perfect specimen when it comes to having almost all of the Cilantro's stages shown in order of progression. Check it out:<br />

Stage 3 & 4: Cilantro Steadily Becoming Coriander after the Flowers Recede</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Having sampled all of the bits of said Cilantro strand,</i></span> I can tell you that the flowers are tangy and somewhat sweet (I can see why they are a delicacy. Have I said that before? o.0?), the seeds (while green, anyway) are a sharp and gritty kind of taste, like black pepper but less intense if you will--and the Cilantro leaves, both the dill-looking ones and the parsley-looking ones, are a bitter and encompassing medium-mild spice flavor. I chopped the whole damn thing up and put it in my sauce nevertheless, and it was delicious!<br />

This photo was taken before the second time I gently pruned away the yellowing and dead leaves from the bottom of the stalks. I am not sure exactly why they have been doing this--I thought it was over watering at first, but they suffer when I don't water them as much as I do (they get twice the quantity of any other plants save the Bumbershoot, the hanging plants or the large Jalapeno and two big Kung Pao) so I decided to go with another avenue. I borrowed some of my mom's plant food and gave each stalk a few drips and then watered them lightly, trying to see if it would help. The reason I decided to go this route was because I thought that perhaps it was a nutrient deficiency in the soil, and I figured it couldn't hurt because most of the plants are now producing fruit.</div>

The tomatoes as of today; growing very well and reaching up beyond their previous height even now... The bottoms have been shedding their leaves as the tops grow, and I rarely break off any of the lower branches unless there is a new bud beginning just at the top of the dying branch, which is occurring more and more often. That tall sillouette on the left? Yeah, that's a tomato. I know.</div>

The Broad Leaf Thing and the Strawberries. The strawberries gave us about ten berries before they stopped producing completely; lately they seem quite content to spread all down the pedestal with their little creepers and try to take root in my Broad Leaf plant. I don't let them, of course--but my my they just don't stop trying, the tenacious tendrils.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Back on the 10th of August,</i></span> I was the '<a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/07/harvester-of-basil.html" target="_blank">Harvester Of Basil</a>' yet again, and made what has become somewhat of a favorite (so much so that I bloody well eat it all before I take a picture to post here, honestly how could I? -OM NOM NOM-) with my significant other and I: Bruschetta. If you are unsure what that is, all the more reason for me to make it again sometime soon and get the recipe up here... Anything like that moulded to be gluten free is worth it, for sure. But basically, it is Tomatoes, Basil, Olive Oil, Sun dried Tomatoes, Salt, Pepper and Devour on a slice of Rice bread with some mozzarella or other white cheese. Quick and divine, I tell you.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>ANYWAY</i></span> that is what became the fate of the Basil that filled the bowl, this picture is of the third and final Basil plant just before I harvested it for the second time since they were ready:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWw8Ydu3Z9s9MwEm8_mgijVbtFyLjKxBof14azITNGDy30m5TMAv2SvpYiPMH__TeA-MSRKKxaNbWdj36lamT4YhihduEPaW3PvyvWfJqf5R2dzqE_L0_tP8B4X1fBlhj-ISfzfwUY4-ct/s1600/GC+%2523+66+HarvestBasilAgain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWw8Ydu3Z9s9MwEm8_mgijVbtFyLjKxBof14azITNGDy30m5TMAv2SvpYiPMH__TeA-MSRKKxaNbWdj36lamT4YhihduEPaW3PvyvWfJqf5R2dzqE_L0_tP8B4X1fBlhj-ISfzfwUY4-ct/s320/GC+%2523+66+HarvestBasilAgain.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>A neat memory of note:</i></span> The fellow upstairs (my landlord) had his family over while I was harvesting this (they've been camping out in the backyard here) and he asked me what it was that I was picking. I told him, and asked him if he wanted to try one; he said no, but then I asked if he wanted to smell them after we spoke more about what I would be using said Basil for. After smelling the fragrant leaves in the bowl, he promptly took one and nibbled on it, and said 'Woah!' and took it upstairs. ^.^ Neat!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The two Parsley subjects. The one on the right was moved out from behind the bolting Cilantro and is now up front; both have drainage, but the white one has been suffering from over watering nonetheless. I moved it up yesterday and during that day and even so far today it has recovered a huge quantity of its previous bright green, which makes me quite happy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of bolting Cilantro! I've eaten the leaves, the stalks, the flowers--all have their own individual tastes, and are supremely pleasant to eat and enjoy. The flowers are my favorite; they have an almost saccharine quality to them and I can sure see why they are a delicacy and used in salads and the like. Believe it or not, this picture is looking down at all three of them--they are a good three feet tall, but lay all over the place and hang out with their neighboring plants.</div>

1/3 Basil, just a few days after the second harvest. This, like all 3 of my Basil, does not have drainage so I need to be careful when I water them. Beside it is the base of one of the Cilantro--see what I mean by being tall but leaning elsewhere?</div>

These are the other two of my three Basil subjects--the front one there, if you look in approximately the center of the photo but just slightly up and to the right you can see the cluster of leaves (it almost looks like a bud?) that is beginning to form on the tallest of the three plants.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i> Now,</i></span> I honestly have to admit that I was not expecting to have something like these come out of <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/07/potential-peppers.html" target="_blank">planting the seeds that I found in a Bell Pepper</a>, but they have grown at twice the speed of the other peppers and I have already <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/07/transplanted-peppers.html" target="_blank">transplanted them all</a> once. I must admit I forgot to take a picture of the tiny pot that had the upside down stem of the pepper in it--it is growing well, I shall attempt to remember to take pictures of it close up and not just in front of all the herbs in a black pot next time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>And here,</i></span> moving at just a slightly slower pace in budding and blooming than the Kung Pao, is the Jalapeno bud. The other sets of Jalapenos are coming along as well, but seem to be a good week behind these ones. Perhaps that is due to container size? Watering? Sunlight? Unsure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Of course I have a few other pictures</i></span> from that date that I did not add into the chronicles; but I have decided to do both 'The Other Plants' and the Tomatoes in another posts that will focus on comparison right after this one. Talk to you soon... So very soon! Ah, how I love unexpected days off...</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Nice, eh?</i></span> Should have heard me when my significant other showed me the first baby tomatoes, I swear I squeaked and bounced around.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Coming home and watering my plants</i></span> has become a marvelous form of therapy for me; it helps me unwind from my day, and I love to keep track of their progress and ponder what I am going to do with all of my herbs and soon all of my fruit and peppers. So great!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Ah, how I have missed this</i></span>--good thing I've been writing my book so much that it is eating my life, it's all I think about, dream about at night, where I go when I am in need and where I make myself go when I feel everything becoming too much. One of these days I will have a finished product; but for now, it is my private world where I torture my characters and therefore myself with both the good and the bad... And I wouldn't have it any other way. Thus, I am not promising anything--I sure felt low when I was updating <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/operation-grow-garden-chronicles.html" target="_blank">Grow-A-Garden Chronicles</a>, why? Because it had been since July 26th since I had updated it.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Once again I had to remind myself </i></span>that I need to get paid, and this blog does not pay--not in money anyway, and unfortunately I need this useless currency called money in order to eat and have somewhere to sleep and keep the possessions I have managed to gather for myself.<br />
*AHEM* Packrat *COUGH*<br />
But hey, there are worse things.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Other than that my second Celery</i></span>--well it died. Just up and died. The Bok Choy? Never sprouted. So I dumped them out--more soil for yet another experiment one of these days, for certain!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Take care friends,</i></span> and don't forget--it's not as hard to grow things as you may think. I don't know why I thought my plants would all die--they're tougher than that... After all--I've been taking care of them, and they are strong. ^.^<br />

I am so posting again today, cause I love it and you guys and girls.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>So</i></span> please don't get too excited, 'tis yet another plant post. But hey why not because the Cilantro has reached an interesting stage.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>A while ago,</i></span> one of the things that I learned when I was <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/06/plant-facts.html" target="_blank">Googling facts about my plants</a> was that Cilantro seems to be troublesome to grow because it has a tendancy to bolt at the first sign of warm weather. That doesn't mean it goes screaming across the backyard with me chasing it with a butterfly net, it means that it begins to flower.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>There are many plants</i></span> that are basically 'ruined' if you will when they bolt because they are no longer tasty or beautiful because all of the plants nutrients are going towards the flowers which make seeds or fruit. In the Cilantro's case (and apparently not the Bok Choy or I did something wrong cause 'tis so not growing) this is not the case. Cilantro seems to be one of the more versatile herbs out there. Versatile how?<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Best thing about Cilantro</i></span> and why it is so versatile is that you can use the initial leaves and the flowers and they both have a unique flavour, so I am told. I will be sure to try some at some point and let you know.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>So lets say you stumbled upon this page</i></span> because you don`t want your Cilantro to bolt. My tip: <b>KEEP IT THE HELL OUT OF THE SUN</b>. Ambient bright light yes, but do not plant it in the center of your garden for not only will it bolt, those seeds from the bolt will keep coming back again and again. My Cilantro get about two hours of direct sunlight a day and plenty of water, and even then after the temperature hits a certain degrees then your Cilantro is going to bolt unless you put a bag over it, which makes Deadlantro.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>It's definitely</i></span> past the days when the only way I could tell the difference between my Parsley and my Cilantro (AKA <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/06/cutting-cilantro-cluster.html" target="_blank">Chinese Parsley</a>) was the label or the smell when I watered them. Ah, how things change and grow...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: red;">Forgive me readers, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: red;">for I have sinned: </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: red;">it has been four days </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: red;">since my last blog session.</i></div>
</h4>
<br />
"But WHY, Nethernote? How could you LEAVE us like that, wondering about the PLANTS?!"<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I know--but reality called. It wants my life back. </i></span>What kind of reality? 12 hour shifts type of reality. It is only a temporary job--I don't know if I will be working the next day or not until the night before--but in the mean time I am making some money again, finally. This is a great thing and I am so not going into how badly it is needed.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Other than that,</i></span> let's just say I am overjoyed to have found something I could do for work. I have rediscovered my love-hate relationship with getting up early and staying up until retardedly late--but somehow I am surviving. I even managed to do some baking and such last week, which was a great success. I won't promise you that I will post the recipe, but I am SO going to make it again and then I bet I will post it.<br />
<br />
"But WHY, Nethernote? How could you BAKE something and not SHOW us the product and the RECIPE?!"<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I still have a few recipes</i></span> that I promised I would post eventually and I just have not gotten around to it. Eventually, my friends, eventually. That is what I keep telling myself, anyway--I want to update <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/ghost-of-android-market.html" target="_blank">Ghost Of Android Market</a>, but I have yet to write said (yet again, previously promised) review on aquarium Live Wallpapers. Yes I have done ALL the research and have it all in my binder... Just have not typed it out.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I want to update</i></span> <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/my-precious-work-in-progress-and-why-it.html" target="_blank">Sticking With My Story</a> as well, for I have SO much to just... 'talk' about, if you will, regarding my writing of that paticular project. It has indeed been consuming me of late, filling my head, messing with my dreams and destracting me from everyday life. I want to be writing it right NOW but this is somehow paramount to me. One of the things I wrote in my 'Notes To Self' gadget a while ago on my laptop was:<br />
<br />
"Delegate your time as much as possible. Giving too much attention to only one thing can be detrimental to your other projects."<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>And thus, I had to get back on here. </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Seriously miss this whole blogging thing when I don't do it. </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>o.o</i></b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In addition to that,</i></span> I have more to add to <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/beginning-of-my-freelancing-is-nigh.html" target="_blank">Figuring Out Freelancing</a> (which within itself should be interesting when I get around to it) and again, the Gluten Free Recipe section of my blog (<a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/rice-is-my-friend-recipes.html" target="_blank">Rice Is My Friend Recipes</a>) needs me to add many new things. Am I doing any of these today? My bleary eyes behold you with blunt betrayal! No, no. ^.^ But seriously I will add these things eventually. Think of it as scrying some of the future for Nethernote blog.<br />
<br />
"But WHY, Nethernote? How could you TANTALIZE us with these thoughts on future updates and not give us something NOW?!"<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Come come now, I would never leave you empty handed!</h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>FIRST:</i></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHuczHqA4tajKLCCIPOiNWtH2XiX69Ho89pbmIva_7fY6vTZD_ykuWSa6aYzcCOTHONhlYbxtfdwFwbckZ2pc09SEa6i4nLNmZSD4sWyPuLpgWiHX8AcOalDqih4dmMc0Pz4UKQnOCfiK/s1600/GC+%2523+63+Tomatoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHuczHqA4tajKLCCIPOiNWtH2XiX69Ho89pbmIva_7fY6vTZD_ykuWSa6aYzcCOTHONhlYbxtfdwFwbckZ2pc09SEa6i4nLNmZSD4sWyPuLpgWiHX8AcOalDqih4dmMc0Pz4UKQnOCfiK/s320/GC+%2523+63+Tomatoes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Of course this is obvious because I always do eventually,</i></span> but I updated <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/operation-grow-garden-chronicles.html" target="_blank">Operation Grow-A-Garden</a>. Apparently the Tomatoes can get larger than what I (and the seed package) said was their full height--they are now taller than my significant other and STILL growing. Creepers, I love it! And, if you have been following along on my merry planting project, you will now that said Tomatoes are flowering. No longer are they just a few little flowers--no, now most of the plants look like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>SECOND:</i></span> The <a href="http://bell%20peppers/" target="_blank">Bell Peppers</a> and the <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/07/bok-choy-redeploy-and-celerew-round-two.html" target="_blank">Celerew Round Two</a> that I planted recently are progressing very well. How well? This well:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The difference in this Celery compared to <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/06/celerew-and-bolting-bok-choy.html" target="_blank">the first Celery</a> is so substantial. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Method really is everything.</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>THIRD:</i></span> <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/07/harvester-of-basil.html" target="_blank">The three Basil I harvested</a> have been growing like the dickens every since I 'pruned' them.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
And so what did I do with my first bowl of Basil? After some poking around and Googling, I decided to do this:</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBwQCi_-a_AjBQ93Uv8IlUIY6pV6ufD24oUVk2EPAZXQiSWw98ixzdxMekHW6z4F9vZZfy2B8WnuRtPyAouKK01tDQF5NGkph2-qILDWTNl0Aa7lmn-63HxF5pQSD8suDZ8C5JC-aZcon/s1600/HOB.BasilCubes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBwQCi_-a_AjBQ93Uv8IlUIY6pV6ufD24oUVk2EPAZXQiSWw98ixzdxMekHW6z4F9vZZfy2B8WnuRtPyAouKK01tDQF5NGkph2-qILDWTNl0Aa7lmn-63HxF5pQSD8suDZ8C5JC-aZcon/s320/HOB.BasilCubes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>You may be thinking,</i></span> "W.T.F... Is... That." Well, that is three leaves of fresh Basil drizzled with oil and gently covered with water before freezing.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>That there--is a Basil cube.</i></span> The only downside to this is that they only last a few months and I should have chopped the leaves up... Next time. This time, however, I managed to create cubes that I can add to whatever I want--soups and sauces among other things. I still have about half a bowl of Basil in the fridge--which I need to do something with but it's not going bad and I seem to have zero energy and initiative when it comes to it so far. Besides the Basil Cubes, I have been eating them.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Yep, just like they are--</i></span>a tasty, tasty sweet leaf. Other than that these leaves have managed to find their way into everything I consume lately it seems, from in a tequila lemonade (see now THAT is a recipe I should post too! ^.^) to chicken stew and many things between.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

Despite the fact that I have taken a few times from these plants, they are still growing like mad--and thus I decided that is time to become the harvester of Basil. I gave them excessive water today and took some pictures of their voluptuous veined leaves before I started to pluck them. (And you are not surprised, are you? ^.^)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i> Looking up close,</i></span> you can see that there are three generations of leaves growing here--the largest being the oldest, obviously. These--especially the ones that are growing under two or even one other set--are the ones that I pinched off during my harvest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i> Even after removing one leaf,</i></span> you can see that it allows much more sun to shine down on the rest of the growing leaves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i> And more and more</i></span> is allowed in when you remove the mature leaves. Thus, I set to work on all three of my plants, armed with a bowl to collect my Basil. </div>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<i>Eventually...</i></h2>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><i> This is what the first two</i></span> look like now that I have done with them--and even though I gave them a huge amount of water, they promptly sucked it up just after I was done harvesting. The third Basil, pictured below after its harvest, did the same.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><i> This cluster has the most mature sets of leaves</i></span>--I wound up leaving some leaves with a few generations still growing on this one due to the pristine nature of the leaves. The other two--while having produced significantly larger leaves--I wound up plucking most of the leaves from because they had been bitten or otherwise occupied by something somewhere along the way instead of based solely on maturity.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><i> Done and proudly packing a bowl full of fragrant Basil,</i></span> I headed inside and ran a sink of cold, clean water and began to soak the leaves. This is going to not only get rid of some of the dirt that remains, but hopefully frighten if not drown any critters that still lurk in among my herbs.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have things to show for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/operation-grow-garden-chronicles.html" target="_blank">my plants</a>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the other main consumer of my time--aside from this blog, which I have found is the best writing exercise I have ever done--is my story. I keep calling it my book, but it's not yet--not exactly. I could talk about it until I am blue in the face, but I would rather post a new fresh picture of one of my tomato flowers for you and go and continue my trek of thoughts. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i> So now what was I to do?</i></span> Indeed I have a couple more empty pots left, but they are spoken for in the future for other plants. I moved my waterlogged sprouts out into the sun (this was Friday the 13th, so it was nice and hot outside) after dumping out what I could from the sopping soil without spilling any of the sprouts. They moved within their mud pie rather well, and it made me want to transplant them. A good idea indeed for they are going to need more space sooner rather than later, but what to plant them in?<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>A plastic dishpan and a plastic aquarium.</i></span> From there I got to sweat in the sun and play in a mud pie.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>And here we have</i></span> the finished product!

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>The funny thing was</i></span> that right after I transplanted them, I had to water the soil around them. Seemed strange after they just had a prolonged bath. The next day they had grown almost a centimeter, and they close up at night. I like them. True I won't be seeing any peppers from these guys for a long while, but that's okay. If naught else I am happy they are growing. ^.^</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">...I really hope that the roots become prominent enough that I will be able to see them through the aquarium eventually. That would rock.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In another edition</i></span> of "the OTHER plants" I have dealt with the Bok Choy today. If nothing else, this has been a merry run, and so with that in mind let's do some peeking back into the past of this particular Bok Choy. <span style="background-color: white;">Here's your flashback glasses. ~0-0~</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Unsure,</i></span> I promptly picked all of them off and put them into a small pot of soil to see what they will do. In the mean time, having an extra pot of soil around that the Bok Choy had vacated, I went to the fridge. It's time for round two of 'Celerew', but this time with no unnecessary soaking for days before I transplant it. Chopped it up, left the center this time and promptly planted it.</div>

This reminds me of a quote I read: "You can be sore tomorrow or you can be sorry tomorrow. You choose." Good words, I keep reminding myself of them--among others, of course. This could have something to do with why I have been keeping some of the best bits of wisdom that I have found on yet another of my <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> boards, called "<a href="http://pinterest.com/nethernote/quips-quotes/" target="_blank">Quips & Quotes</a>".<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Though I have gone</i></span> a few times since then, in accordance with the idea of those words I went out for a bike ride to check out more of the flooding--trust me, riding your bike on the road with minnows swarming in the shallow water all around you is a neat thing. Though I have many, many sets of pictures (picture pack rat, remember?) from just that trip, I want to share with you one of the stranger sets. Why?<br />
<br />
<h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Because... It's odd. ^.^</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I do warn you, if you're squeamish, scroll with speed.</span></div>
</h4>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>So I found this place</i></span> called Reedman Park (one of many little ways to go by foot or bike down to the lakeside that is not private property) and peered around at all there was to see. Just before I left, I got my face out of my cellphone camera and actually did some eyeballing of the random flotsam and jetsam drifting near the shore. Some of which was now driftwood which held something... Kinda creepy. Looking down, I blinked, and literally said, "What the ---- is <i>that</i>?"<br />

You can just barely see the first sprout in the second pot (that was the one that I planted the whole pepper core in upside down) starting to come up just to the right of center between two little stick things and some old, old eggshell. Yay!</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In other news,</i></span> my faithful old computer finally bit the dust a few weeks ago--just after finishing transferring the last few of my pictures and songs onto my laptop. I salute it; but already I miss it--it was nice to have one that was just basically a big old brain that I could leave retarded amounts of files on.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Once I got them all transferred</i></span> onto here I must admit that I felt better because I knew they were 'safer' on here--but not only did my computer begin to run slower than molasses in January, it really made me realize just how much... "STUFF" I have even in my computer, let alone in all of my physical pack rat places. Pictures from back when I got my first camera in 2008 up until literally today--36 GB spread across four 8 GB flash drives later, and I still don't have all of my pictures off this thing (didn't even touch say my <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/operation-grow-garden-chronicles.html" target="_blank">Garden Chronicles</a> or even any of my blogging folders, gigabyte help me) and now I am trying to remove hours and hours worth of video from my computer and put it on discs so it doesn't preside over my space.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>And here I was thinking</i></span> I could take my music off as well. Good luck with that happening any time soon, but at least I am no longer bogged down. I deleted 15.3 GB of... 'STUFF' and not only do I feel better but I think my lovely laptop is now far less burdened.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
This, if naught else, is a start... </h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Back to burning videos I go ^.^</h4>

It is time.</h3>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>As difficult as it was,</i></span> the time had come for me to part with some of my plants by escorting them to the secret second location. The Tomatolets needed more soil desperately, and I knew that it was time to let them go to grow in the vast garden that I have access to but not at my home. Thus, I gathered up some of the subjects:<br />

<i> Not for me apparently. The seeds of an idea were sown...</i></h3>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I Google it to see if seeds like this even grow when planted? Nope.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have I yet, even though I did this back on the 26th of June? Nope.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I remember the top of the pepper I had cored and retrieve it from from the compost?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...Yes. Yes I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I take pictures of it? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, but something tells me that you don't want to see what the contents of my compost looked like at that time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not pretty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>...into the sink with it.</i></div>

There was another picture of this strange thing that I took that looked like psycho plucked poultry pretending to pirouette. This is not that picture.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i> And thus,</i></span> I washed the coffee grounds off and made a home for it in one of the pots of soil I had hanging around the table.

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Pictured above are the SPICY version of my homemade hash browns.</span></i></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>These marvelous things</i></span> are something I create until there are no more potatoes in the house, at which time I make a pilgrimage to get more. The best thing about these is that they are easy to make and are much better for you than purchasing some frozen greasy things in a plastic bag from your local grocery store (don't get me wrong, every once and a while...) but this versatile recipe is well worth trying out at least once no matter what meal of the day you want to enjoy them as.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Another great thing</i></span> about this recipe is that it is, as I mentioned, versatile: not only could you create your own flavor taters, but I have posted how to make them <span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>original</b> </span>or:<br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>First off,</i></span> I added the new set of permissions to <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> in my <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/ghost-of-android-market.html" target="_blank">Ghost of Android Market</a> page--in case you did not know, Ghost of Android Market is a list I made of worthwhile Android Applications--and they are all FREE! ^.^</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Next up,</i></span> I added the last few days in my <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/operation-grow-garden-chronicles.html" target="_blank">Operation Grow-A-Garden Chronicles</a>, which is (again, if you did not know ^.~) a log of my no-longer-indoor garden that I <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/p/operation-begin-garden.html" target="_blank">started back in May</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Finally,</i></span> the rain has let up in this area--and now the forecast says it is going to get hot outside (37 degrees Celsius, 98.6 Fahrenheit) which I am quite okay with because not only will it help to dry up some of the roadsides (unless all of the snow up high melts, which means the floods will get worse and there will be droughts in the future--but they always threaten that every year) and help my garden grow with some sunlight that it needs.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/07/swiss-cheese-leaves-and-strung-up.html" target="_blank">'new infection'</a></i></span> that I was worried about (which has spread to the Bumbershoot as well, pictured behind the <i>other</i> '<a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/06/all-plants-are-photobombers.html" target="_blank">Other Plants</a>' in the white pot) seems to have slowed right down with the reconfiguration of the other subjects, which suits me just fine. My significant other has also taken to playing 'Seek & Destroy' with every bug on my plants. The ants themselves--already dominant in chewing on the deck pillar behind the plants pictured above and... well, everything else and climbing up trees just to fall off again like a bunch of suicidal six-legged super bugs--have been playing carnivore and overtaking the earwigs now that they have nowhere to hide. I have also noted that nothing--and I mean NOTHING--eats the Broad Leaf Thing. Perhaps it's <span style="color: lime;"><b>poisonous</b></span>?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Other than that,</i></span> I was actually able to remove two of my shower-ring-come-tomato-holder clips because of the direct switch in the angle and amount of sunlight (and therefore the growth) of some of the tomato stalks. These clips are hanging on the edge, waiting just in case of more rainfall--but all in all, I am quite pleased with my 'Hybrids' and all of the other 'subjects.' <br /><br /><br /><h4>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>With a lot of help from my significant other,</i></span> the plants all migrated around some today in an effort to deter these munching pests. The tomatoes, all having drainage and reaching one heck of a height already, I deemed ready to move out into the full wrath of the weather. Of course, just an hour or so after this was all accomplished, the wind blew like crazy and the torrents began to pour from the heavens. I kept getting up and checking on my tomatoes (being the worry wort that I am) and sure enough after a good two hours of heavy rain one leaned towards the earth.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>...I must admit that it figures</i></span> that the day that I decided it was time to get all of the plants moved and finish truly acclimatizing the Tomatoes that it pours like crazy. Again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I must also admit I did not take any pictures</i></span> of all of the times that my newly moved tomatoes flopped over thanks to the heavy rain pouring down from the sky--no, I decided that saving them was much more important. They are still tethered together, but some of the stems that were not (and even one of the batches that was) flopped over. Struggling and failing to find string, I dashed around the house like a mad woman trying to think of something that would work to hold them up besides fishing line. Sure, fishing line may work but I don't trust it not to cut right through the tomato stalks rather than support them.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>What I found was</i></span> the shower curtain rungs that belonged to my old shower curtain--yes, same one with that waterfall pattern that has been serving as a 'dirt shield' and potentially harboring numerous pests beneath its fold. And yes--the pack rat strikes again. Seeking to cause as little harm or movement as possible, I hooked the hanging ones up to the lattice that is nailed to the side of the stairs. They are all now looking much better than they did during the beginning of the rain storm, let me tell you. Later on as the rain continued to fall, I meandered back outside and changed some of the positions of my 'tomato holders' and spun one of the pots that had some of the most troublesome tippers. Feeling better and seeing that the tomatoes themselves looked much better, then I took some pictures for you. ^.^<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>All in all,</i></span> despite the fact they were not intended for this purpose those shower curtain rings are working like a charm. The best part is the fact that I am finally using them for something and that they are easy to change and clip whenever needed. Despite the fact this rain is beating up the shores of every lake and stream in the area, the world is bright and green and the drops of rain allow for shots like this:<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>...And that is hard to complain about.</i></span> Other than that, weather like this reminds people that they should be enjoying the sun when it's here, not complaining about it--but as usual, it seems people are impossible to please and as variable as the weather itself. At least it gives us something to small talk about, I suppose. Either way, enjoy the earth for what it is: fascinating--you just need to learn to slow down and take a look. If you don't like what you see, change it. ^.^<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>No,</i></span> it looks more like some of those little bastard bugs are gnawing on my plant's leaves. Apparently the Basil, Tomato, Kung Pao and Jalapeno taste the best. (In that order.)<br />

Looks like a screaming mouth. Weird. o.o</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Once again, those pictures were taken before I <a href="http://nethernote.blogspot.ca/2012/06/mmm-multiple-massive-movement.html" target="_blank">transplanted</a> </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>the Basil, Jalapeno, Kung Pao and Parsley.</i></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I know that this sort of thing happens when you grow things outside</i></span>--nature will be nature, after all. I, however, have a serious dislike for pesticides of any kind--the whole idea of fresh, home grown herbs is not only the fun and the financial end of it, it's good to know exactly what has happened to your plants before you eat them. All hail organic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thus, I decided to do some Googling about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>After reading through <a href="http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/614731" target="_blank">this</a> site,</i></span> I have come to the conclusion that it is probably earwigs. The other day when I was transplanting, there was a cluster of five or so little earwigs running hither thither when they were uncovered. It is true that there has been less nibbling since I transplanted them--that may have something to do with the fact that there is nowhere near as much room for them little buggers to hide in the bountiful Basil... Judging by how well they are growing, it won't be long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Another that may very well be a possibility for me is aphids.</i></span> One of the comments in that page said that buying some ladybugs and placing them in your garden works like a charm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The strangest thing is that earlier this spring</i></span> there were so many ladybugs in this house that I thought I was going to go insane. Now, there are none anywhere--figures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I could put a cover over the Basil,</i></span> but something tells me that isn't going to stop the ones that are already taking up residence in my soil pots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>When I Googled the same thing but for the Tomato,</i></span> according to <a href="http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/garden/02949.html" target="_blank">this</a> site (which has a very useful chart of common Tomato issues at the bottom of the page) I discovered that it is probably a Flea Beetle or a Tomato Hornworm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Thankfully,</i></span> none of these 'infections' seem to be overly serious. Indeed I will be watching to see if things get worse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I came out the other night</i></span> to find that it was dragging all of the other stems down with it.
