With your keen eye, you may have noticed the mint looking a little wimpy. As do the hot banana pepper plants. This is because they've outgrown their home! They will soon be re-potted. So far, this has been the only good outcome of all the rain.

It's nice to grow plants, but it feels sort of hands-off for me. I didn't grow them from seed; just put the little sprouts into plastic pots with my new garden gloves. Despite a few drinks from my new plastic watering can and the two instances I've taken the plants inside due to hail, Sun and Rain have taken care of the important things.

I have allowed them to do what they do: Grow.


Sounds very Photobucket I know.


In truth, I'm going to mutilate them piece by piece, stealing their fruits just as they are ripe. These plants have no idea what kind of thievery that will fall down upon them! They are helpless -- they are rooted!

They are trapped...in...
