From small things come big things

daidoji_giseiI tried listing out all the things I need to get done right now and that was too depressing so I deleted it. I spin out when I think of it all; much better to tackle a small bit, finish it, and then tackle the next bit.
One of the little bits I've gotten done so far is to water my plants. This doesn't sound impressive unless you know how many plants I have. The herbs in the kitchen are doing well so far, including my longtime nemesis, tarragon. The mustard seedlings haven't gotten beyond having seed leaves yet, but they should start leafing out more. The red russian kale plants I dug up from the yard seem to like their new home in the sun porch and are getting bigger. I am trying to be patient, but I am really looking forward to eating them.
My second round of paperwhites seem to be doing well. The ones in my living room are about 8" tall and have buds; the ones in the cool room downstairs are about 2" high. So far my plan to stagger their blossom periods is working. The current flush of bloom for my fuschia is over, but I can see a few tiny buds being created and it's enthusiastically putting out new leaves and shoots. Meanwhile the african violet on the table below is sending up bud stalks--three visible so far, and I have the feeling that if I investigated I'd find more. I won't: they can surprise me.
