i planted out my herbs today. i repotted my gardenias. i raked leaves and tried to make the soil more hospitable. god it feels so good to have done that. soo goood. indulging my special interest makes me feel whole and did i mention good? sigh. i feel complete now that plants are back as my interest.
i also went to my first education class and history class today and they were good.

I'm jealous of you I'm on the south east with poor drainage and nothing grows, apart from water cress , chilli and paw paw :cry:

Better than nothing I suppose ?

I trained two dishwashers at my job at the same time today. I've trained several before, but I never had to oversee two at once. Made me feel good about myself

actually im in the same situation as you. my front yard recieves a lttle more sun than the back but it still isnt much and at the back the blasted landlord covered the entire yard in concrete except for the side that faces south. it's wet and dark and almost nothing grows there. as far as herbs go my comrade planted lavender and that seems to be doing ok which is really strange seeing as its a full sun/part shade plant. she also planted native violets. i've been brainstorming a list of plants that could go there. so far i have:
camellia sinensis(or any camellia but this one i can make tea with)
valerian
angelica
mint(ive grown it in shade before and it does ok.)
parsley(same as mint)
common bugle
lily of the valley
hydrangea
honeysuckle
jerusalem cowslip
kidney weed
heartleaf

not many of those are herbs which i prefer and to what extent they will tolerate full shade/moist soil i dont know but when your garden is a hole how picky can you be? being able to grow pawpaw is one good thing(or it is if you like it) that comes out of living in a warm area.

I made a breakthrough and came to a lot of realizations about myself this morning. It brought up some very deep emotions, but I hope it will, in the long run, help me recover.

I shot a pistol for the first time today, and discovered that an 18 year old computer geek is a better shot then a 64 year old former marine who hasn't shot a pistol in 30 years

Had quite a nice and... interesting :lol: day at the mall. The ending of the trip really made me grumpy and sour though.

There is a big triangle on my window right now because of the sunlight.
Small things often make me happy:)
